Inmarsat report now dumped as inaccurate report for the search area.
This will go down in history as one of the other blunders, which top leaders and politicians made on public expense. Also is a reflection of how poorly the logic and thinking process works in top management.
This was one subject which was covered by the whole global media and none of the journalist every put up this hard question to any of the authorities, how come a plane would simply follow a mathematical calculation, when there is a co-pilot to resist any move for the pilot to recourse to another flight path. Plus there is a crew and there are 240 pax.
I have been following all the reports related to the search and the most hilarious moment was when Tony Abbot allocated 80 Million AUD for the search of the plane in the sea around Australia. The budget to be shared by China and Malaysia. Again interestingly, none of the Aussie journalist or anyone object to such a move. Further, one week later, Tony came out with a budget slashing monies to health care and education. On one end blow off 80 million AUD on a totally unrelated, unseen, unheard, unknown lost plane and the other hand cut budgets for students and pensioners. I thought, it was only in India, we had such ambiguities, but now, I know the politicians are the same breed all over the world.
This week, I was watching Aussie TV show Four Corners , wherein there was a documentary on the Malaysian missing plane. It starts very well and exposes a new element that the ATC actually reached out to the Malaysian airline on the missing plane after Vietnam ATC alerted it. But the airline took it lightly and even gave co-ordinates of the plane in Cambodian air space. This part has never been researched further.
However, Four Corners again did not address to any of the investigating agencies, how come the plane will simply follow the inmarsat path without the resistance of the co-pilot or others. Also, the 15 mins traverse of the plane on Malaysian radar was not really well explored .
CNN also came out with a report by its famous journalist Richard on the missing Malaysian plane, who went around interviewing Malaysian and Aussie authorities, but nowhere puts up the hard questions, if they are really sure, if the Inmarsat calculations are the right way to proceed with the search. Infact most of them supported the Inmarsat calculations and criticized the Malaysian government in delaying in accepting the report and moving to another search area.
When they announced that it would take 2 years for them to search the plane, I was already thinking, with the kind of search, it would take many more years and with nothing in hand.
But this is exactly the way one sees routinely decisions are taken and millions of dollars are blown off and time is wasted.
Everything returns to square one again.
