Official: Malaysian investigators conclude missing airliner
This
Associated Press news story is a follow up to the intense search for flight
370, a Malaysian airline plane.
Now officials are saying that evidence is almost conclusive that the
plane was hijacked by either the pilots of the plane, or hijackers on the
plane, and the plane probably did not crash but was flown to an alternate
destination. According to military
radars and New York Times radars, they got signals indicating that a plane
climbed to 45000 feet (above the approved limit for a Boeing 777-200) and made
a sharp turn to the west; then came shakily down to an altitude of 23000 feet
(well below normal cruising levels) as it approached the island of Penang,
where it climbed again and flew northwest toward the Indian Ocean. This article seems to be implying the pilots
definitely had something to do with the shutting down of communication with the
airline because the two communication systems installed were shut down
skillfully and within minutes from each other. Although they might’ve been forced into doing this, Malaysian
police are investigating both pilot’s backgrounds. Another strongly considered possibility is that the pilot’s
may have committed suicide. The
search for the lost Malaysian airline is intensifying and the search is now
expanding outward toward the Indian Ocean.
