Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 search grows as pilots face increased scrutiny

Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia (CNN) -- Where do you even begin to look, when the search area covers vast swaths of land and water, stretching thousands of miles, from Kazakhstan to the Indian Ocean?

That's the question for Malaysian officials and authorities from 24 other nations as people search for a ninth day, trying to find Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and the 239 people on board.

As the search area grows bigger, authorities are also increasing their scrutiny of the pilots, searching their homes in the quest for clues. That included a flight simulator from the captain's home.

Pilot Spoke to Air Controllers After Shutoff of Data System

SEPANG, Malaysia — A signaling system was disabled on the missing Malaysia Airlines jet before a pilot spoke to air traffic control without mentioning trouble, a senior Malaysian official said on Sunday, reinforcing theories that one of the pilots may have been involved in diverting the plane and adding urgency to the investigation of their pasts and possible motivations.

Radar Suggests Jet Shifted Path More Than Once

SEPANG, Malaysia — Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 experienced significant changes in altitude after it lost contact with ground control, and altered its course more than once as if still under the command of a pilot, American officials and others familiar with the investigation said Friday.

Investigators believe Malaysia Airlines co-pilot spoke last words from missing plane

Investigators said Monday that they believe that the co-pilot of vanished Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 gave the final communication heard by air traffic controllers shortly before the plane disappeared from civilian radar screens.

Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said at a news conference Monday that initial investigations indicate that co-pilot is the one who calmly said, "All right, good night." Authorities had said Sunday that the words were heard around 1:30 a.m. local time, nearly a half hour after the data recorder was turned off and 10 minutes after the transponder was deactivated.

Malaysia Backtracks on When Airliner’s Communications Were Disabled

SEPANG, Malaysia — As the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stretched into a 10th day, the Malaysian authorities on Monday identified the plane’s first officer as the last person in the cockpit to speak to ground control. But the government added to the confusion about what happened during those key minutes by withdrawing its assertion that the radio signoff had come after a crucial communications system was disabled

The final words spoken from the cockpit of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight came from the co-pilot, not the captain, officials revealed.

It had been reported that a casually spoken 'all right, good night' came from Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, but Malaysian officials disclosed that it was actually said by 27-year-old Fariq Abdul Hamid, described by friends as mild-mannered and with a bright future ahead of him.

Just watched this on CNN. Wish she would not have given the interview as she says he is very level headed & could bargain with whoever took the plane. She feels he is alive; but is preparing for the fork to go either way. She is packed & ready to go wherever she needs to be. Her son helped her pick out an outfit for Phil as she said that if he's found alive he wouldn't want to be in his dirty clothes; nor stuck in a hospital gown.

Video interview on CNN Partner: I have to prepare for worst
Added on March 17, 2014 Sarah Bajc, partner to Flight 370 passenger Phil Wood, says she thinks her boyfriend is still alive.

Claims today that the missing Malaysian Airlines jet dropped to an altitude of 5,000ft to avoid radar lends credibility to reports by villagers that they saw bright lights and loud noises at about the time the aircraft is thought to have made a 'U-turn'.
Investigators told a Malaysian newspaper that the Boeing 777 had dropped to a lower altitude to avoid ground radar, using the surrounding terrain as a sonar barrier.

Immigration officers under probe


Stolen passports on Malaysia flight used before, Chinese firm says

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Malaysian police on Sunday were examining a flight simulator belonging to one of the pilots of the missing jetliner and investigating engineers who worked on the plane, sharpening the probe into the jet's disappearance after authorities revealed it was a deliberate act.

The government said police searched the homes of both of the plane's pilots on Saturday, but did not say whether it was the first time officers had done so since the flight went missing more than a week ago with 239 people aboard en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.

SEPANG: A Greek petrochemical tank was asked to keep an eye out for ‘floating suitcases’ at the Straits of Malacca here yesterday.
Elka Athina, a barge heading to Suez was alerted by Indonesian authorities over radio, warning them that they were ‘approaching a field of debris’.

Several Greek news portals, Tovima and Times of Change were abuzz as sources from the barge alerted them over the apparent sighting.

The portals reported several other barges passing the the busy straits were ‘rushed’ to a coordinate off Sumatran waters.

Another Greek portal published an audio interview with a first officer of the ship, claiming that it was steaming towards a ‘debrs zone’ in the northern waters of the Malacca Strait.

However, checks with online ship tracking websites revealed that the tanker had sailed passed the debris field at about 9.30pm (Malaysia Time).

It is believed that authorities had red flagged a possible area in the straits after users of the map crowdsourcing site Tomnod have indicated a possible debris field in the Straits of Malacca.

A twitter user, Richard Barrow, posted a satellite image of ‘a potential crash site’ and ‘possible floating seats’ on the surface of the ocean at coordinate 5°39'08.0"N 98°50'38.0"E.
