Story of Flight MH370 so far.
Please read and share...
Its interesting and Informative.
1. The Boeing 777-2H6ER, registration 9M-MRO MSN 28420, first flew on 14 May 2002, and was delivered new to Malaysia Airlines on 31 May 2002.
2. The Aircraft was powered by two Rolls-Royce Trent 892 engines.
3. It had accumulated 20,243 hours and 3,023 cycles in service.
4. The Aircraft was involved in a prior accident at Shanghai Pudong airport in August 2012, where its wingtip collided with another Aircraft and broke off.
5. The plane B777-300 ER Registration # 9M-MRO was last inspected 10 days ago and was “in proper condition,” Ignatius Ong, CEO of Malaysia Airlines subsidiary Firefly airlines, said at a news conference.
6. However there is a news that just a day before the crash the Aircraft had been on A-Check on KLIA hangar
7. B777-200ER Registration # 9M-MRO of Malaysian airlines flew as flight MH370 at 12:41 am on Saturday 8th March 2014.
8. Aircraft took off at 12:41 am from Kuala Lumpur and was due to land at Beijing at 6:30 am
9. 239 people on board
10. The 53-year-old pilot of Flight MH370, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, has more than 18,000 flying hours and has been flying for the airline since 1981. The first officer, 27-year-old Fariq Hamid, has about 2,800 hours of experience and has flown for the airline since 2007
11. B777 flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing went missing in South China Sea
12. Last known location was off the country's Ca Mau peninsula 6°55′15″N 103°34′43″E (approximately 130 km/80 mi NNE of Kuala Terengganu, Malaysia). 120 nautical miles (220 km) east of Kota Bharu at the South China Sea
13. The plane had been flying at an altitude of 35,000ft (10,700m)
14. The pilots had not reported any problems with the Aircraft
15. Aircraft lost contact at 02:40 am
16. The plane “lost all contact and radar signal one minute before it entered Vietnam’s air traffic control (Ho Chi Minh Area Control Center),” Lt. Gen. Vo Van Tuan, deputy chief of staff of the Vietnamese army, said in a statement.
17. No ELT signal to locate the wreckage.
18. No Mayday signal either.
(Aircraft’s black box is equipped with “pinger” that emit ultrasonic signals that can be detected underwater. Under good conditions, the signals can be detected from several hundred miles away If the box is trapped inside the wreckage, the sound may not travel as far. If the box is at the bottom of an underwater trench, that also hinders how far the sound can travel. The signals also weaken over time.)
19. Search and rescue operation started
20. The oil slicks sighted off the southern tip of Vietnam by Vietnamese Navy were each between 10 kilometers and 15 kilometers long
21. the oil was spotted, the air search was suspended for the night and was to resume Sunday morning.
22. No floating debris except Oil slick found at the suspected area of crash.
23. No distress call from the pilot before it lost contact
24. No ELT signal.
25. Two passengers were onboard with stolen passports. The passports belonged to an Austrian National and an Italian national. Both the passports were stolen in Thailand. One was stolen 18 months ago and another one 2 years ago.
26. Questions are being raised for possible act of terrorism in this regard. But there is also a possibility that the passports have been used multiple times after theft by drug smugglers on the same route.
Points to think from a professional Aircraft engineer’s point of view:
1. A sudden loss of contact is possible only in case of a sudden catastrophe. Possibilities are Aircraft hit by a missile, onboard bombing, fuel tank explosion (check out CDCCL which had been an all time issue on Boeing Aircraft) or just anything else technical in nature that eventually put the Aircraft in pieces.
2. But the chances of an Aircraft blown up in the air are bleak because no floating debris has been found yet.
3. But if the Aircraft managed to land on the water in one single piece that means the pilot had time to make a distress call or a manual ELT signal. Why didn’t he do that?
4. If the Aircraft had an impact over the sea…there should have been an ELT signal…but there was nothing.
5. This big pressurized piece of cylinder just cannot go down from air into the depths of an ocean in one signal piece unless and until it had landed on water after the pilot had performed landing on water drill…(ample time for pilot to give a distress call)…and then rescued the passengers in emergency rafts that too have a system of an emergency beacon signal.
6. What seems perfect is the Aircraft had blown up in the air… a sudden blast…and the suspected location of crash is the wrong one…the debris is floating somewhere else and will be discovered in a day or two as it floats apart.
