MH370: New account of cockpit last words

Malaysian authorities have issued a new version of the last communication between air traffic control and the cockpit of the missing flight MH370.

The last words spoken were "Good night Malaysian three seven zero" - and not "all right, good night" as reported.

The transport ministry said forensic investigations would determine whether the pilot or co-pilot spoke the words.

The plane, carrying 239 people, was travelling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared on 8 March.

The plane's last contact took place at 01:19 Malaysian time.

The BBC's transport correspondent Richard Westcott says the new version of the last words is more formal and more in keeping with the way a pilot might usually speak to air traffic control than the wording previously reported.

It is not clear why it has changed or why it has taken the authorities this long to determine this, he says.

[BenLurkin]

This whole thing smells fishy.

[Yaelle]

Does anyone know anything truthful about this plane, other than it never made it to its destination?

[advertising guy]

pure BS

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

I am starting to doubt it ever existed.

(just joking)

(Maybe)

[TADSLOS]

Malaysian authorities. The Jon Lovitz of government speak.

[exit82]

Again, another item reported as true is now false.

There is no way that the US, China and assorted other governments do not know what happened to this plane.

The present scavenger hunt for debris in the ocean in various far flung locations is another distraction from what really happened.

[Dr. Ursus]

I thought they already played the audio?

It is not clear why it has changed or why it has taken the authorities this long to determine this, he says.

That seems to be the underlying problem with this mystery from day one. And it is not just the Malaysians. -Tom

Let the conspiracies start. Oh, right. Already have.

[ElkGroveDan]

I hope the passengers are getting enough to eat in Pakistan.

[fatnotlazy]

Someone wake me up when or if the plane is actually found.

Seems to me the media has been given orders to keep this story in the forefront to distract us from the disaster in the White House.

[Mears]

The never ending confusion boggles the mind.

.

[hoosiermama]

Why change the comment in the first place? What’s being covered up?

[CincyRichieRich]

It is ok for Muzlums to lie, therefore nothing is to be believed.

[Paladin2]

Sounds like “Allah Akbar” to me.

Exactly ! I never watch MSNBC , but listen to what others have said that MSNBC news is touting ; it is the official spokesmouth of the spite house.

[corlorde]

Yeah, if you ever have a curiosity of what raving lunatics liberals sound and look like, tune into MSNBC and see it in all of its shameful glory. Yes, it is that bad. They don’t even bother trying to hide it any longer. MSNBC is just the attack arm of the DNC.

[Starstruck]

Next it will be SQUIRREL!
