Flashermac Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 The pilot of the missing Malaysian Airlines plane which disappeared in March with 239 people on board had plotted a flight path to a remote island far into the southern Indian Ocean where the search is now focused, investigators have discovered. The route, which was deleted before MH370 disappeared on March 8, was made on a home flight simulator machine used for practice by its captain, Zaharie Shah. Its discovery has intensified suspicion that he deliberately hijacked his own plane and diverted it from its approved flight path to Beijing. More than three months have now passed since the flight disappeared in what has become one of the great mysteries of modern aviation. And despite a lack of any hard evidence, suspicion of Capt Zaharie's involvement has grown as investigators have gradually eliminated other potential suspects and causes of its disappearance. Detectives and investigators, including experts from Britain's Air Incident Branch, have so far found no evidence of a technical fault or malfunction which could explain its disappearance. Inquiries into the backgrounds of the flight's passengers and crew have similarly failed to yield any evidence of, or motive for, anyone hijacking the plane or sabotaging it. But suspicion of Capt Zaharie emerged within a week of MH370's disappearance as the Chinese government intensified pressure on Malaysia to explain the mystery and find the missing plane. More than 150 of its 227 passengers were Chinese nationals. Detectives raided Capt Zaharie's home in Kuala Lumpur and took away his flight simulator as part of their investigation as tracking information from the British Inmarsat satellite company indicated the flight had not plunged into the South China Sea off Malaysia's east cost close to Vietnam as feared but had doubled back across the Malay Peninsula, turned left and headed towards the southern Indian Ocean. Its movement indicated it had been deliberately diverted but there is no evidence yet to conclude who was responsible. On Friday, shortly before new details of Capt Zaharie's deleted simulator flight path emerged, Malaysia's acting transport minister, Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein, said his search team would soon begin looking in a new area in the southern Indian Ocean corridor suggested by a new analysis. "We have to continue with the lead because the best lead we have is based on the handshake on the Inmarsat [satellite data] and still in the southern corridor", he said. Sources close to the investigation confirmed to The Telegraph on Sunday that a deleted flight path had been recovered from Capt Zaharie's simulator which had been used to practice landing an aircraft on a small runway on an unnamed island in the far southern Indian Ocean. The discovery leaves Capt Zaharie as the prime suspect in a crime which cannot yet be proven to have been committed – and Malaysian police have been careful in their public comments to stress that all leads are still being investigated and no conclusions have been reached. At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur on March 16, however, Malaysia's chief of police Khalid Abu Bakar said he believed the plane had been diverted by hijackers, saboteurs or someone with a personal vendetta or psychological problem. Friends and relatives of Capt Zaharie denied he had any motive for hijacking his own plane and described him as a warm and helpful man who was committed to social work. He had campaigned for the mainstream People's Justice Party of former deputy prime minister Anwar Ibrahim and did not support Islamic extremists, party worker Sivarasa Rasiah told The Telegraph shortly after the plane disappeared. "He comes across as a really likeable guy, a warm guy. There is absolutely no way he is doing this of his own volition," he said. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/malaysia/10917868/MH370-captain-plotted-route-to-southern-Indian-Ocean-on-home-simulator.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 http://t2.thai360.co...534-flight-370/ Perhaps he's a very rich man now with a new ID somewhere, but the passengers would have not been so lucky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dean Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 Whoever analyzed the flight computer, I hope it wasn't the same persons that analyzed Lois Lermer's computer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dean Posted June 22, 2014 Report Share Posted June 22, 2014 If the plane did crash in the Indian Ocean, how long would it take for any of the debris to wash up to some shore? Between that and extensive use of ships and planes to find the plane, I'm starting to give credence to the possibility that the plane didn't crash in water.

I only consider good ole Mekong the dogs bollox. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2014/04/no-clues-to-missing-malaysia-airlines-plane-in-captains-flight-simulator/ April 2, 2014 The home-made flight simulator belong to the plane’s pilot Capt. Zaharie Shah. It was seized by Malaysian investigators when baffled authorities began to look into the background of the plane’s crew. Officials looking for signs that the pilot may have practiced certain routes or maneuvers found that some files had been deleted from the simulator’s computer. The simulator was sent to the FBI’s lab in Quantico, Va. “They (FBI analysts) have finished with the simulator. There is nothing suspicious whatsoever about what they found,†a senior U.S. official told ABC News. “There’s nothing at all (criminal) about the pilot. Right now there is zero evidence of a criminal act by the flight crew,†the official said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A policeman in the States told me the FBI is known for relying on informers. He didn't think much of their investigative skills. Of course, the FBI probably doesn't think much of the police either.

Coss Posted June 23, 2014 Report Share Posted June 23, 2014 I would imagine, that most of the Law Enforcement agencies in the U.S. are using Hollywood movies as training aids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
