This crash mystery takes another turn...literally. It's now believe to have flown 1 hour more after it's transponder was switched off in the opposite direction and at lower altitude. And why did it take RMAF four days to annonce this, knowing everyone is looking at the wrong place.
Malaysian military says missing jet changed course
Associated Press
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia—The Malaysian military has radar data showing the missing Boeing 777 jetliner changed course and made it to the Malacca Strait, hundreds of kilometers from the last position recorded by civilian authorities, according to a senior military official.
The development injects more mystery into the investigation of the disappearance of Saturday’s flight, and raises questions about why the aircraft was not transmitting signals detectable by civilian radar.
Local newspaper Berita Harian quoted Malaysian air force chief Gen. Rodzali Daud as saying radar at a military base had detected the airliner at 2:40 a.m. near Pulau Perak at the northern approach to the strait, a busy waterway that separates the western coast of Malaysia and Indonesia’s Sumatra island.
“After that, the signal from the plane was lost,” he was quoted as saying.
Flying low
A high-ranking military official involved in the investigation confirmed the report and also said the plane was believed to be flying low. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the information.
Authorities had earlier said the plane, which took off from Kuala Lumpur on the western coast of Malaysia at 12:40 a.m. Saturday en route to Beijing, may have attempted to turn back, but they expressed surprise that it would do so without informing ground control.
The search for the plane was initially focused on waters between the eastern coast of Malaysia and Vietnam, the position where aviation authorities last tracked it. No trace of the plane, which was carrying 239 people, has been found by than 40 planes and ships from at least 10 nations searching the area.
Earlier Tuesday, Malaysia Airlines said in a statement that search-and-rescue teams had expanded their scope to the Malacca Strait. An earlier statement said the western coast of Malaysia was “now the focus,” but the airline subsequently said that phrase was an oversight. It didn’t elaborate. Civil aviation chief Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said the search remained “on both sides” of the country.

The missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 was last seen above the Strait of Malacca according to the Malaysian military, over an hour after it disappeared from air traffic control screens.
The MH370 flight took off from Kuala Lumpur toward the Chinese capital Beijing and disappeared while it was flying between Malaysia's east coast town of Kota Bharu and the southern part of Vietnam, at 35,000ft.
An unnamed military official told Reuters that the plane "changed course after Kota Bharu and took a lower altitude. It made into the Malacca Strait".
Another official, Malaysia air force chief Rodzali Daud, told a local newspaper that the plane was detected for the last time by military radar at 2:40am on Saturday near the small island of Pulau Perak.
It was flying at a height of about 29,500ft.
The Malacca Strait is a narrow, 805km stretch of water between Malaysia and the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
The report has been checked by investigators, according to Reuters.
If confirmed, the reports mean that the plane flew one hour and 10 minutes after it was last detected by air traffic control screens over Igari, between Malaysia and Vietnam.
Malaysia authorities have widened the massive search operation for the plane to the Malacca Strait.Last edited by Monseratto; March 12th, 2014 at 08:46 AM.

No no, hindi daw siya beki pero gusto niya ng gym fit guys. Siya rin lang pala ang may 86 na kulay blue na may bike rack. And oh, why is he not here in tsikot? The answer is we don't know. May brouhaha na drama pa yan kung bakit siya aalis ng tsikot. Pero who knows, he's just here, lurking around. Forgot to tell you that madami siyang user name dito.
BTT:
Still a mystery. Interpol does not want to include the terrorism angle. CIA says there's a terrorism angle. Others say pilot suicide. Does someone tries to cover something here?
That is just for LTO purposes. LTO rounded up 399 to 400 for registration purposes. TRB/DPWH did...
