'Pings' may NOT have been from MH370 after all: Doubts grow over signals detected during search ...
The Daily Mail Online ^ | May 19, 2014 | Daily Mail Reporter

Audio recordings of the 'ping' signals believed to have come from the black box of Flight MH370 will now not be released as doubt grows over whether they are connected with the missing plane.

The Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC) headed by Angus Houston told the Herald Sun that the search group's original confidence the four accoustic 'ping' signals were from the plane had waned and the recordings would not be made public.

The decision is a blow to the families of some of the MH370 passengers who issued a plea earlier this month to make the recordings public.

A group of families called Voice370 released a statement saying, 'We implore the Malaysian government to share and release the raw Inmarsat satellite engine ping data for 9MMRO (every ping from Friday, March 7 12:00 until the final signal was received globally) so that it can be subject to broader analysis by relevant experts.

This is a departure from Retired Air Chief Marshall Houston's certainty last month that the ping recordings were potentially from the missing plane....

Expect the search area to now move north closer to Indonesia.

MH370 was scheduled to land in China.
The only ship that heard the pings off Australia was Chinese.
The recording of the pings will NOT be released.
Look for the MH370 in China.

Don’t think that is true.

There were reoorts of the Aussie ship getting multiple signals.

This plane was remotely hijacked. Boeing has a patent on software to take over command of inflight Boeing aircraft.

I still say they will find it within a few miles of where it was last heard from. I believe the pilot tried to hand fly it at FL450 as a personal challenge. As expected, he lost control and the plane disintegrated.

But the transponder could not be switched off remotely — it had to have been done by the hand of the pilot.

Well, didn't that happen or are you being sarcastic?

Boeing has lots of similar patents but none ever implemented. Companies do that. Remote control has been around for decades.

There are no external connections to the flight management computers. It is physically impossible to remote hijack that plane.

What are you talking about???

If the transponder was turned off by the hand of the pilot then it wasn’t done remotely as you claimed earlier.

Pings NOT from MH370, DUH!

several residents of Kuda Huvadhoo (an island in the Maldives)told Haveeru on Tuesday that they saw a “low flying jumbo jet” at around 6:15am on March 8.

They said that it was a white aircraft, with red stripes across it – which is what the Malaysia Airlines flights typically look like.

Eyewitnesses from the Kuda Huvadhoo concurred that the aeroplane was travelling North to South-East, towards the Southern tip of the Maldives – Addu. They also noted the incredibly loud noise that the flight made when it flew over the island.

“I’ve never seen a jet flying so low over our island before. We’ve seen seaplanes, but I’m sure that this was not one of those. I could even make out the doors on the plane clearly,” said an eyewitness.

“It’s not just me either, several other residents have reported seeing the exact same thing. Some people got out of their houses to see what was causing the tremendous noise too.”

A local aviation expert told Haveeru that it is “likely” for MH370 to have flown over the Maldives. The possibility of any aircraft flying over the island at the reported time is extremely low, the expert added.

The Malay Mail Online reported, “The simulation programmes are based on runways at the Male International Airport in Maldives, an airport owned by the United States (Diego Garcia), and three other runways in India and Sri Lanka....”
