On Wednesday, after four days of reticence and evasive answers, the Malaysian
military acknowledged that it had recorded, but initially
ignored, radar signals that could have prompted a mission to intercept and track the missing jetliner. The radar data vastly expanded the area where the plane might have traveled.

Radar signals from the location where the missing aircraft was last contacted by
ground controllers suggested that the plane may have turned away from its northeastward course toward Beijing, officials said.
Military radar then detected an unidentified aircraft at several points, apparently headed west across the Malaysian peninsula and out into the Indian Ocean, the head of the countrys air force told reporters. The last detected location was hundreds of miles to the west of where search and rescue efforts were initially focused.
bbm, It appears that the 2 air traffic leaders, (if you will) are both reporting what they know to have happened even thou neither did a thing about what was going on at the time. (Not on my watch mentality)jmo.
One other thing is I wonder if their radar is limited to a distance and once the plane is out of that distance (range) it is no longer visible to them. And if they can't see it it's no longer their problem.? jmo idk
green This is just insane to me.
