Ahhhhhh!!!!! Finding a lost plane within the course of its travel is not a priority
for international air traffic controllers. My goodness what is their job then-???
Personally you are showing me how journalists are using bad journalism to
sensationalize stories rather than honestly inform their readers about events.
The job of an air traffic controller is to keep planes from
colliding into each other
in his air space.
You are wrong if you think that each single plane gets their own
private air traffic controller to handle them during their flight ...
in fact each air traffic controller handles a bunch of planes at the same time
... he has to keep track of an enormous amount of data because hundreds of
people's lives depend on him making good decisions. It is a very stressful job.
That article stated that it WAS the
Vietnamese air traffic conrollers
who said it was NOT their job to find MH370 ... & the simple reason
for that is because MH370 never entered Vietnamese air space !
Therefore the plane never became the responsibility of Vietnam.
There was NO record or info that Vietnam could provide to Malaysia
... they never saw that plane. But meanwhile, the Vietnamese air traffic controller
DID have a bunch of other people that definitely needed him at that very moment
in time to focus his attention on keeping those other planes from colliding.
So that Vietnam kept working on !
Nobody said the lives of the people on MH370 weren't important.
But if the Vietnam air traffic controller NEVER saw MH370,
just how do you think they were supposed to help the Malaysian plane ?
And we now know that in fact the plane DID turn back to Malaysia.
Since no other commercial jet plane has ever gone missing this way,
there are no air traffic control stations that have any special staff
set up to handle a missing plane case ... at least not yet.
MH370 went missing at a weak point in the aviation system when air
traffic control hands off the plane to another country ... & apparently
the world learned that we do NOT have any way to handle such a problem.
We can only hope that the aviation industry will fix these problems immediately.
