I don’t fly internationally and don’t have a passport. Are passports checked for anything? I know you need a picture. Would being stolen not be flagged at some point?
Earlier, Malaysias air force chief told reporters that military radar indicated that the plane may have turned from its flight route before losing contact.
Air force chief Rodzali Daud didn’t say which direction the plane might have taken when it apparently went off route.
“We are trying to make sense of this,” he told a media conference. “The military radar indicated that the aircraft may have made a turn back and in some parts, this was corroborated by civilian radar.”
I have not been following this very closely, but I thought they found oil slicks where the plane went down? So they don’t know where the plane is? Would it be possible that it landed somewhere or would it have been tracked by multiple radars if this were the case? I would have thought that the black box could be tracked by satellite.
