Malaysia airlines plane may have crashed 239 people on board #3

[JerseyGirl]

Has anyone other than family members mentioned the phones ringing and ringing? To me, I'd like an independent source for that. Would be nice if one of the intelligence agencies from one of the countries were to call up several of those phones and see what is going on.
I just joined the thread but I've been following the news, so sorry if that's been covered. TIA

.. technology industry analyst and "E-Commerce Times" columnist, Jeff Kagan told CNN that no conclusions can be reached concerning the ringing phones.

When a cell phone rings ... "it first connects with the network and attempts to locate the end-user's phone. If it doesn't find the phone after a few minutes, after a few rings, then typically, it disconnects and that's what's happening," he said. "So, they're hearing ringing and they're assuming it's connecting to their loved ones, but it's not. It's the network sending a signal to the phone letting them know it's looking for them."

Kagan told Wolf Blitzer that the technology meant he couldn't speculate on what ringing phones in this situation could mean.

"Just because you're getting ringing, just because the signs that we see on these cell phones, that's just the way the networks work."

The airlines said they too had called the flight crew and their phones just rang.

I would like some further clarification of these attempts to call the phones of the passengers and/or crew. When were the attempts made, what sort of phones are we talking about here? And what exactly do they mean by the phones just "rang?" I think there is a lot of misundertanding here about how phones do and dont work.

Could there be a link between the missing plane and the NYC building explosion? :waitasec:

CNN reports it doesn't appear to be linked to terrorism but I'm not discounting anything with this airplane.

He does emphasize that the blip is a possibility but they are still corroborating or cooperating?

 

[CARIIS]

WTF ??

And his conclusion ;

“I think the plane is still in the air or has crashed into the sea,” he was quoted by Free Malaysia Today as saying."

Really !!

* ETA - I see I'm a bit slow today lol

Malaysia Airlines flight 370 ... fell off civilian radar screens at 1.30am, about 35,000ft above the Gulf of Thailand between Malaysia and southern Vietnam. It sent no distress signals or any indication that it was experiencing problems.

Malaysian authorities have since said air defence radar picked up traces of what might have been the plane turning back and flying until it reached the Strait of Malacca, a busy shipping lane west of the narrow nation 250 miles from the plane’s last known co-ordinates.

Military and government officials today said American experts, and the manufacturer of the radar systems, were examining that data to confirm it showed the Boeing 777. Until then, they said the search would continue on both sides of the country, with an equal focus.

Yeh that is what is so crazy they want us to believe that the military radar "starts" for lack of a better word (!) when the ATC hands off a flght that is just silly.

The military tracking should have the plane from the begginiing and in instances like this ought to be able to go pull the tape and follow it !

If the military radar in that whole region of the world cant keep up with one plane thats messed up!!

In the sea or in the air?

He just left out "the land"

(By land, by sea, by air..)

 

[Tssiemer]

So. Lots of people are unhappy with the Malaysian investigation. How would the USA do it differently?

It wouldn't be from the flight. Commercial airlines don't have true (foam) life jackets for passengers - you use your seat cushion or that inflatable vest/collar that is not designed to last several days. I think it's someone from a boating accident, in all likelihood. IMO

"KUALA LUMPUR/PHU QUOC, Vietnam - Malaysia's military has traced what could have been the jetliner missing for almost five days to an area near India's Andaman and Nicobar islands, hundreds of miles from its last known position, the country's air force chief said on Wednesday.

After a series of at times conflicting statements, the latest revelation underlined that authorities remain uncertain even where to look for the plane, and no closer to explaining what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 or the 239 people on board.

The flight disappeared from civilian radar screens shortly before 1:30 a.m. on Saturday, less than an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur, as it flew northeast across the mouth of the Gulf of Thailand bound for Beijing. What happened next is one of the most baffling mysteries in modern aviation history."

The investigation would be headed by the NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board), not a branch of the military.

I think this article is from December.

Malaysian aircraft search area now stretching to 27,000 square nautical miles -
12,000 plus in the Straits of Malacca and 14,000 in the South China Sea.

http://www.independent.ie/world-new...-to-27000-square-nautical-miles-30086166.html

I predict the search area will be expanded to include an area so large that searchers will find debris from the Japan tsunami that is still making its way to Oregon.

See the first post of this thread. Malaysia Airlines reported it.

Yeh all the ATC stuff did not start for HOURS!

Just lease: they make it home some way.. like you.

Just my opin but unless its a hijacking I do not believe that there are going to be any survivors

 

[Marg from Oz]

Wonder if the dead body they found is someone who fell overboard off a ship and has nothing to do with the plane. But you never know, they may have got lucky and actually found one of the passengers. Who is going to identify the body? Are they going to bring those poor family members to line up to see if they can identify the body? This gets worse every minute
