Malaysian Plane : Technology versus commonsense

I am a little surprised with the Aussie Journalist. None of them asked the difficult question to Aussie PM and Malaysian PM on the show at Perth that " How sure were they with the correctness of the Inmarsat data and Doppler calculations " Because none of the two have been put in public domain for peer review.

Now, they have announced a total of 500 Million would get spend in search of the plane. At the end, the bill may be send to Inmarsat, if the plane is found elsewhere.

There are too many other details, which are missing from the public domain viz


The Ping theory of Inmarsat, becomes questionable as the first ping is 1hr 30 mins after the flight took off. Where as it says, the pings are after each hour. All subsequent pings are exactly after each 60 mins. How come the first ping was 90 mins from the time of the rolls royce engine would have been energized. ? This clearly cast doubts that the pings belonged to another plane, which successfully landed and then the last ping was unscheduled. Showing that the engine was now being turned off.

The inspection report of maintenance before the flight was approved.

The Quality of the fuel used.

The Communication jammers, if any or bugs, which could have been planted.

The flight experience of the last 5 pilots on the same plane for the same or other destinations.

What was the last breakdown for which the plane was repaired ?

What is the standard procedure, if Vietnam ATC finds that the plane has not logged ? The Vietnam ATC asked another plane to reach out MH 370 and could only get murmurs. So, for sure ATC in Malaysia got alerted and what emergency measures were taken to redeem the situation ?

Where are the Oil slicks on the Ocean ? Why none of the satellites have been able to find one single spot of Oil slicks.

Well, now that the Black Box locator is there in the sea with its ping. Day is not far, when the debris should get located.

But this will go down as the one of the worst cases of mismanagement.

  1. Obviously it goes without question that either the technologies that are in place in the aviation industry needs to go through a thorough refurbishment or the people who are steering these technologies need to be more meticulous
