Malaysian Boeing 777 goes missing

They should give up looking for it. They've given their best looking for it and at the end of the day, that's all you can ask. Shit happens and just chalk it up to experience.

South Korea has sent a boat down to look for it.

SHIT JUST GOT REAL

 

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight: CNN's MH370 expert sacked over bad clothes

 

A Canadian flight simulator business fired an instructor who figured prominently in CNN's coverage of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, saying he showed up late to his regular job and "shamed Canadians" by dressing like a teenager.

uFly company owner Claudio Teixeira said he fired Mitchell Casado on Wednesday in part for refusing to dress professionally and making Canadians "look very bad all over the world".

Casado's relaxed style of jeans and plaid shirts attracted wide attention during CNN's constant coverage of the search for the missing flight. CNN's Martin Savidge and Casado logged many hours reporting from the fake cockpit located at the company's office in near the Toronto airport, which has a simulator that is the same model of the lost plane.

 

Teixeira said Casado didn't come to work Tuesday when customers had the simulator booked. "This is not the first time. He's been warned before," he said.

Teixeira says he received many email complaints about the instructor's way of dressing during the time he appeared on CNN.

I reckon the Malaysian Govt were trying to steal a march on space travel but didn't tell the passengers they were part of an experiment. The pilot flew a bit too high and the plane ventured into outer space, they are looking in the wrong place, its on the sea of tranquillity.

I think its safe to assume the beacon has stopped transmitting.

No idea what you are trying to convey. Try words, they're tried and tested.

Before words we had images, drawings, cave paintings and even dance. I'd like to see what they had to say in the medium of dance please.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

The Aussies reckon they've narrowed it down and are going for it over the weekend.

So far, the multi-million Immarsat has been as successful in tracing the missing flight as two manky cardboard boxes and some sticky tape.

 

Awesome.

 

O.

Yeah, they are looking at the area that a signal that they think came from the black box came from. I don't think they'll find it. If they do find it, I bet they won't find bodies.

I reckon the Chinese sent those signals out to cover their tracks.

I dunno if it's the Chinese, or the yanks, but I'm absolutely convinced that there is a lot more to this than the official line.

[Scott_M]

This search is shameful really.

Kinell, another transport emergency in Asia. Hope it get down OK. Still in the air I think.

 

MH192: Bangalore bound flight made an air turn-back KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia Airlines flight MH192 bound for Bangalore tonight had to perform an air turn-back shortly after taking off.

 

MAS, in its official Twitter account, stated: “Flight MH192 that departed from KUL at 10.09pm bound for Bangalore has made an air turn-back towards KUL. More details to follow.”

 

Although MAS did not state the reason for the turn back, Twitter accounts were alive with claims that a tyre on the nosewheel of the Boeing 737-800 had burst.

 

This, however, could not be corroborated as attempts to contact officials proved fruitless.

 

It is understood MAS and Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd were making preparations for an emergency landing at press time, while the aircraft was in a holding pattern over the Straits of Malacca.

 

A Department of Civil Aviation spokesman said the aircraft would be allowed to land only when it is nearly out of fuel.

 

He said foam will be spread on the runway to ensure no burning occurs when the plane touches the ground.

 

He said the plane will land on its belly, without the use of its landing gear.

 

“There is always a risk when something like this happens but as of now we will have to wait and see. Further information will only be known once it lands in KLIA,” he said.

 

At 1.40am, Malaysia Airlines in a statement confirms that flight MH192 that departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) at 10.09pm bound for Bangalore has made an air turn back towards Kuala Lumpur. 

 

The aircraft’s right-hand landing gear malfunctioned upon takeoff and is expected to make an emergency landing at KLIA at around 2.00am, today.
 
Flight MH192, operated on the B737-800 aircraft, was scheduled to arrive in Bangalore at 11.35pm the same day.

 

The flight was carrying a total number of 166 people on board which include 159 passengers and 07 crew members.
 
Malaysia Airlines is currently working with the Airport Fire Rescue Services (AFRS) in anticipation of the landing. 
 
The airline will provide regular updates on the situation.

Landed safely.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

They aren't very good at relaying information are they?

[Spy Bee]

Two thirds of sub search completed. Fuck knows how many people, planes and boats are involved in the search and they haven't found one piece of debris.

[Dougie Do'ins]

They aren't very good at relaying information are they?

Or finding planes.

[Scott_M]

Have they decided yet they could just be looking in the wrong place?

[Carvalho Diablo]

Have they decided yet they could just be looking in the wrong place?

 

Anyone would be forgiven that they haven't got a fucking clue where the damn thing is.

[Alan Sex]

Have they decided yet they could just be looking in the wrong place?

Perhaps that is where they need to be looking, but they are not looking for the right thing.
