A new mystery has emerged in Flight MH370's disappearance with the Malaysia Airlines saying the lithium ion batteries carried in the plane weighed over 200 kg, even as the cargo manifest released recently listed the "consolidated" consignment at 2.453 tonnes.
"About two tonnes, equivalent to 2,453 kg of cargo was declared as consolidated under one master airway bill. This master AWB actually comprised five house AWB. Of these five AWB, two contained lithium ion batteries amounting to a total tonnage volume of 221 kg. The balance three house AWB, amounting to 2,232 kg, were declared as radio accessories and chargers," the Malaysia Airlines (MAS) said in a statement last night.
But this has not been disclosed before and is not stated in the cargo manifest, the Star reported.
According to Malaysian company NNR Global Logistics the batteries formed only a small part of a "consolidated" shipment weighing 2.453 tonnes.
Even though the MAS said the batteries weighed 221 kg, a company spokesman said they weighed less than 200kg. He, however, did not say what the remaining 2.253 tonnes of cargo was.

440 lbs. Is that enough to run a Tesla?
I was just reading the article at ZH. Some crazy comments after the article.
The plane was sabotaged by the pilot because the Malaysian government would not release the Pilot’s close friend who was the opposition party candidate from prison the DAY AFTER HE WAS SENTENCED for homosexuality to 20 years in prison!! The PILOT WENT TO THE SENTENCING! Gawd are we deaf??
What about the mangosteens? The aircraft was carrying 4.566 tonnes of mangosteens
I think I read somewhere where he said that it was radio communication equipment.
Amazing how that little fact just keeps being avoided.
That’s not much. I had a flight attendant the other day who looked like she weighed more than 200 kg.
Mangosteen juice can be very expensive Maybe the plane was hijacked for the mangosteens ?
The pilot called the government and gave a reasonable option. It was viciously declined. The pilot said “OK- Bye Bye” I think this is known in this country. After all they know what you said in your last phone call to the Pizza place ( in violation of our constitution) . This is a joke. The plane is down and IT IS KNOWN!!
Gosh that’s a shock/s
“The plane was sabotaged by the pilot because the Malaysian government would not release the Pilot’s close friend who was the opposition party candidate from prison the DAY AFTER HE WAS SENTENCED for homosexuality to 20 years in prison!! The PILOT WENT TO THE SENTENCING! Gawd are we deaf??”
YES. The homosexuality agenda propagandists in the news media, and they abound in the media, having chosen that professional to promote homosexuality as the greatest thing since sliced bread, quickly diverted attention away from the distinct, if not likely possibility that the pilot and his friend were way too friendly and had a homosexual liaison.
There are witnesses to the fact that the pilot was distraught about the verdict that put his friend in jail for 20 years. The leaders of Muslim Malaysia have their own reasons for squashing this first line of reasoning that puts out there for the world to see the reality that homosexual behavior exists among alleged adherents of the homosexuality-forbidding Koran.
Yes...But I like the one posted the other day, where after being hijacked, a passenger hid his cell phone in his buttocks, sent out a message saying he thought he’d been drugged, and was being held by terrorist in some hut...
All the more reason to believe the plane is sitting on an American airbase.
I agre. It was homosexuals. It was not “Just disappear” !! Our news media is a total bunch of liars!!
I doubt that the pilot made any calls to the government or gave any ultimatums — if he did he would have been immediately grounded and charged.
But I don’t doubt that he was upset by the verdict and that may have pushed him over an edge on which he was standing.
Is that the guy who claimed that he couldn't get cr*p for reception afterwards???
Airplanes carry perishables all the time!
