Airport security CCTV cameras usually don't have sound, at least none that have ever been released (in prior criminal cases).
The sound here occurred when the clip was re-recorded off a monitor later. No, the same thing is not repeated to both pilots. It's clearly random talking that is not synched up to the image at all.
Media outlets released a slightly better version of the video without the unrelated sound included: LINK.
In the better video, you can clearly see the lights above the walk-through X-Ray illuminate when BOTH the pilot AND co-pilot go through. The lights must illuminate in that manner as each passenger steps through.
The CCTV video provides no evidence either pilot was up to anything unusual.
While Malaysia Airlines is owned by Malaysia, I would imagine that it operates much like Canada Post, or the USPS - they are technically owned by their parent country, but operate as a stand-alone entity.
When it comes to catastrophic financial losses like those that might arise from this situation, the autonomy is less important, but when it comes to day-to-day operations, its an important distinction.
My counter-argument is that it's not coincidence but boring routine on an international flight from a poor country to find: fake passport-holding immigrants, ATC/pilots garbling flight numbers, pilots who like simulator games, pilots who sign off with some form of "good night", and, to top it off, a crummy police force who bungles information releases, PR, photo-copying, etc.
I still think the plane was most likely diverted somewhere on purpose.
But I think so based on the radar, satellite and transponder/ACARS evidence, not based on information from the ground, which so far is a whole lot of nothing.
BBM~ I have been thinking the Malaysian government has never encountered an event such as this. Perhaps to them "Alright, goodnight", is the same as the new translation of good night Malaysian three seven zero. ?
This is so messed up. :facepalm:

O/T. 8.0 Earthquake in Chile. Tsunami warnings for Chile, Peru and Ecador
This looks interesting. Don't know if they record all countries, but going to poke around.

I think a few countries did pick it up (Vietnam - but is that considered in the Indian Ocean?), but then it flew into the middle of the ocean which no one monitors.

This is what I suspected. I thought it was very strange how they managed to get these detailed quotes, attributed to his children, from their unnamed sources.
JMO.
I've wondered a lot about this. Does anyone know the technical/scientific explanation for why or why not it could be another plane and not MH370?
And that in itself has me going hmmmmmm, if this plane ended up in the deep southern Indian Ocean, was heading there deliberate, knowing that no one monitors this area, and the likelihood of finding the plane and black box would be extremely difficult..
Once again though, the same question.........if deliberate why????
I've been complaining about them for eons. Their made-up quotes are SO obvious ... especially when their supposed quotes contain British-only phrases.
For example, they will quote an American as using words like boot (trunk), lift (elevator), and loo (bathroom) etc.
There are many tabloids that fabricate stories but attributing direct (fake) quotes to victims goes beyond the pale IMO.
...[my edit, respectfully]...
Early on, Malaysia sent planes and assets to Kazakhstan, who agreed to base the northern part of the search. If Inmarsat's prior analysis is mis-stated, and the northern path cannot be discounted, more assets ought to be moved to search it. Large parts of the northern path (China/Kazakhstan) CAN be searched. Much could be done through partnerships and diplomatic requests rather than war. Since the search expanded in the south, as far as we know, nothing has been being done in the north at all. Nothing.
Mary Schiavo was on CNN tonight and said, paraphrased, that it is unfortunate the Australians weren't involved from the beginning.:loveyou:
"Mr Abbott said: "I'm certainly not putting a time limit on it. ... We can keep searching for quite some time to come.
"We owe it to the families, we owe it to everyone that travels by air. We owe it to the anxious governments of the countries who had people on that aircraft. We owe it to the wider world which has been transfixed by this mystery for three weeks now.
"If this mystery is solvable, we will solve it."
