Malaysia Airlines 'loses contact with plane'

[BratPAQ]

According to CNN, radar indicates that the plane was returning to KL. Di ba usually changes from flight plan eh tinatawag muna sa tower?

With all those phones still working on the plane, why can't they triangulate the location?

The sister of Chinese man among the 239 people feared dead on flight MH370 rang his phone live on TV




The family of a passenger on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight successfully rang his mobile phone - but nobody answered.

This video shows the moment relatives of a Chinese man among the 239 people feared dead after the passenger jet mysteriously disappeared rang his phone live on state television.

The call connected, but then rang out.

Chinese media reports that a number of families have been able to ring mobile phones of their missing loved ones but no one answers.

need to determine din kung anong network ang meron coverage sa area.

kung pareho ng globe at smart ung ibang network operator na need mo ng court order bago gumalaw, prayers na lang ang magagamit ng mga family.

Parang non stop movie lang to ah? Hindi pa rin nahahanap yung plane hanggang ngayon?

I have a feeling na yun oil streaks na nakita nila eh setup lang. Kung nag-crash yun sa dagat, bakit parang wala pa silang makitang lumulutang na wreckage?

[crazy_boy]

^1. Wala pang nakikita na wreckage.

May debris nanng nakta but for confirmation pa if dun nga sa plane. nakita ata kahapon nang gabi kaya hindi nakuha at ma-identify nang husto nung aircraft na nakakita. Bandang Vietnam daw.

There is a precedent for a modern jetliner to fall from the sky while "in the cruise" and lie hidden for months, according to CNN aviation correspondent Richard Quest.

On June 1, 2009, Air France Flight 447 was en route from Rio De Janeiro to Paris when communications ended suddenly from the Airbus A330, another state-of-the-art aircraft.

It took four searches over the course of nearly two years to locate the bulk of flight 447's wreckage and the majority of the 228 bodies in a mountain range deep under the ocean. It took even longer to find the cause of the disaster.

In May 2011, the aircraft's voice recorder and flight data recorder were recovered from the ocean floor after an extensive search using miniature submersible vehicles.

It was not until July 2012 that investigators published their report, which blamed the crash on a series of errors by the pilots and a failure to react effectively to technical problems.

i don't know why vietnam is the only country giving some "updates" right now. bakit hindi ba na cross-check ng malaysia yung sinasabi ng vietnam about the slick and debris that were sighted by them?

[Monseratto]

Door?

"We received information from a Vietnamese plane saying that they found two broken objects, which seem like those of an aircraft, located about 50 miles to the south-west of Tho Chu Island," an unnamed official from the National Committee for Search and Rescue told AFP news agency.

The state-run Thanh Nien newspaper quoted Lt Gen Vo Van Tuan, deputy chief of staff of Vietnam's army, as saying searchers in a low-flying plane had spotted an object which resembled an aeroplane door.

The potential debris was in a similar area to a possible oil slick seen by Vietnamese navy planes on Saturday, but officials have cautioned that this too may be nothing to do with the disappearance of Flight MH370.

real time monitoring device is all the aviation industry need in times like this?

Why is a normally safe aircraft – the Boeing 777-200 – missing over the South China Sea, with all 239 passengers and crew on board Malaysia Airlines flight 370 presumed dead?

I'l tell you why: it was a fireball ignited by faulty lithium-ion batteries carried on board by cellphone-wielding passengers.

No, it wasn't. It was a bomb planted by terrorists – possibly the passengers who were reportedly carrying stolen passports.

Rubbish: it was structural failure triggered by internal damage sustained in an airport fender-bender involving the same aircraft two years ago.

These, of course, are not answers. It would be generous to call them theories. They are really a tiny sample in an online orgy of wild guesses that erupted on social media over the weekend, in the hours after the aircraft was reported missing off the coast of Malaysia.

As search teams continue scanning the waves for signs of debris, these online truth-seekers should be asking a different question: why couldn't the plane itself tell us exactly what happened when it went off-radar?

In one of the most galling anachronisms of modern aviation technology, the "black box" that carries most if not all of the answers seems to have vanished, too.

Depending on the location of the wreckage, it could be days, months or even years before anyone turns up the black box – which is usually orange – and there remains a remote possibility that the device and its precious recordings of audio and flight sensor data will never be found at all.

The ongoing mystery of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is the fault of a bizarre quirk in our networked society. Even cars have broadband connectivity now, but the modern jet airliner – perhaps our most technologically evolved mode of transport – still exists in the age of radio.

Air traffic controllers today must orchestrate the most congested airspace using primarily voice commands. You can send and receive text messages from most aircraft, surf the web and even stream House of Cards. The system that powers the plane is limited to pre-dial-up internet connection speeds.

There is simply no datalink onboard an aircraft with the bandwidth to continuously stream the volumes of data collected and stored during every second of a flight by the flight data recorder and the cockpit voice recorder.

The result is a dangerous silence in the immediate and sometimes extended aftermath of what appears to be the worst airline crash in more than a decade. In the absence of data, the biological temptation to seek patterns within the flimsiest of available evidence is overwhelming.

In the aftermath of the Air France flight 447 crash in 2009, speculation focused on particular technologies with the Airbus A330. It took nearly two years for an international search team to locate and raise the flight recorders lying at the bottom of 4,700 meters of water. The actual data told a different tale of a bizarre sequence of fatal errors made by a confused and disoriented flight crew attempting to fly through a major storm.

Until the wreckage of Malaysian flight 370 is found, it is impossible to know how long it will take to recover that little box inside the 777-200.

We shouldn't have to wait at all. There are technologies in existence or development today that can address this glaring gap in the aviation safety net.

To be fair, it's not quite that easy. It's relatively simple and cheap for a black box to gather and store megabytes worth of flight data every second. It is much harder and much more expensive to continuously transmit that information by satellite or radio transmission.

But even a little data is better than almost none, which the disappearance of flight 370 makes clear. It should be rather straightforward to install a processor connected to the black box that can select a subset of the most relevant data. A recent patent application filed by Boeing describes such a system, which specifies a limited data set including the precise location of the aircraft and the flight control inputs by the pilot or the automation system.

There will be costs to mandating such a system, but the benefits are clear. Multi-national search and recovery teams involving a fleet of ships and search aircraft should no longer be necessary. Critical safety data could provide clues of system or structural failures much faster, making the entire air transport system safer.

Most of all, the commercial aircraft upon which we depend for transportation and economic growth need to finally enter the Information Age. Then searches for missing planes won't have to resemble the hunt for Amelia Earhart.

Exactly. Any deviation from the flight plan needs atc permission except if you are in between two ATCs, a dead zone. think of it as two circles spaced out from each other.

Where would the terrorists land that plane without anyone noticing it? Kung nagcrash naman the phones shouldnt be ringing anymore.

from CNN this afternoon... 5 checked-in passengers decided not to continue their flight with MH370. as reported, all of their check-in baggage were retrieved back. if this was true, is this coincidental?

They're the luckiest guys in the world.

Samples from the oil slick they found has been tested and are deemed not from the airplane.
