handshake between the copilot s cell phone and a cell tower over penang. and the formal communication attributed to the captain means the copilot s flying. so just let s extend it out over 30 minutes. what they had said, good night malaysia 370. they said that was the pilot. the analysis they re saying is the pilot. you re saying because it was the pilot, the copilot was flying the plane, hence wouldn t have been on his phone. exactly. and the first thing they do, when they pull back from the gate, they have a final checklist. ladies and gentlemen, turn them off. it s also true for the cockpit crew. so i believe that contact, that handshake, no talking, the handshake between the cell phone and the tower not a coincidence. very significant. what do you think, richard? especially given the fact that they leaked out this little teeny piece of information. which if it were irrelevant from the other analysis, you wouldn t think they would do.

government, how could they get something as seemingly simple as the last words out of the cockpit incorrect and why it would take so long to get the transcripts from the radio transmissions from the cockpit. there s a lot of questions why it would take that long, it s leading a lot of people, especially the families, that says the malaysian government is not being as forthcoming as they say they are. this, as well as new security measures in the malaysian airlines planes, they are said to not be allowing pilots to be alone in the cockpit, just one pilot alone in the cockpit. if one uses the restroom or leaves the cockpit, a cabin crew member has to go into the cockpit. that would suggest they are having trust issues with their pilots. malaysian officials refuse to comment on that. so far, nothing new on the investigation into the cabin crew or the cockpit crew, the pilot or copilot or anybody on the plane. we haven t heard anything about that in quite some time, also the search, day 25
