Officials 'convinced' Two Communications Systems on Missing Jet Were Deliberately Shut Off

US officials believe that two communications systems aboard Malaysian Airlines flight 370 were shut down separately, 14 minutes apart - which indicates the plane did not come down because of a sudden catastrophic failure.

The data reporting system was shut down at 1.07 am and the transponder was turned off at 1.21 am just after the the pilot signed off to Malaysian air traffic controllers with 'All right, good night,' and before the Boeing 777 apparently changed course and turned west.

According to investigators this indicated that the switch-off could have been a deliberate act and officials told ABC News that the two communications devices were 'systematically shut down'.

That has led the US investigating team to become 'convinced there was manual intervention' which in turn means it was not an accident or massive malfunction that caused the plane to cease to be airborne...

Now we are back to the two communications systems being deliberately shut off. Maybe the one that reports the health on the engines was operating once an hour and the reason for the Westerly turn.

Reports are there is a radar dead spot between Malaysia
and Vietnam. Pilots are warned to use radio as is
no radar coverage in the area

Perfect spot to shut off transponder........

Interesting how Malaysian officials are denying there were any transmissions after 1:07.

I believe that is intentional misdirection, rather than ignorance.

uh...that means they’re LYING.

Looks like Iran might just have a launch vehicle for their nuke.

My guess is if it got anywhere near Diego Garcia, it would be on a radar their. I think we can eliminate an area around there. So, look into the Muzzie areas elsewhere and I think one will find it or on its way there.

Meanwhile, were there not some pictures of some Australian bimbos in the cabin with these two from last year. Maybe they decided to fly over there to say hello??

Could be, but what did it accomplish? An act of terror is pointless unless the world knows it was an act of terror. So far, there is nothing to indicate what, why or how.....just a missing plane. Unless the reveal act is yet to come.

I used to keep even with 757's on approach while on parallel runways, doing 120 kts on final in my cherokee. I could slip/ drop/ and skid that thing onto the ground at cruise speeds.

It's the only way to gain the trust of the tower and approach control.

Fly it like you stole it! Yep!

One would think with all of the time and money NSA has spent monitoring all aspects of our lives to keep us “safe,” someone would have a lightbulb moment BEFORE a SHTF event, be it a [speculative] hijacking of an airliner or Putin’s Ukraine Adventure.

I think the plane is being “Banked” for later usage...

If it was used in a jihadi attack they would have claimed responsibility, terrorist love to terrorize...

The fact there is silence means there is something afoot...

Malaysian officials are also not telling the truth about how much jet fuel was put in that airplane.

Enough to reach Somalia I would bet.

And I bet the fuel guy at the airport is a muslim and has since gone missing.
