Page 10 - Radar Data News Today

Banfield. it is monday, april 14th. we begin with breaking news right off the top. a missing malaysian airliner 370, news about the co-pilots cell phone and the possibility that it was on midair. u.s. officials with firsthand knowledge of the investigation say the malaysian officials have shared data with u.s. investigators including a cell tower near panang, 250 miles away from where the transponder stopped working detected the co-pilots cell phone searching for service. there is no evidence an...

Spotted. now to see where it came from. the cell phone report adds this other layer of mystery of what happened and another clue but does it bring us any closer to the truth? we are inside the flight simulator. martin, bha do you make of this report? >> up until now we have had two real indicators of what the flight plan might have been for this particular airplane. one was the information that came from those handshakes once every hour. the other was from radar data that the malaysian governmen...

Inmarsat satellite that determined the plane was in the indian ocean. the radar is so inconsistent, the reporting has been so, in the absence of knowing one thing for sure, then we assume something else. we didnt see it go across indonesia, therefore it must have gone around. disappeared off the radar for 120 miles, maybe it dipped down to 4,000 feet. so all of these are really theories. its not proven. its not positive information of what exactly that airplane did, how high it went, how low it ...

Data and tell the world to stop dating in the south china sea? there are so many disconnects here that i think their credibility was shot but also leads me to believe that they have internal governor mental problems which will probably cloud the investigation. for example, theres something weird about this radar and the refusal to say what it is and the only thing they will say is they lost contact with the plane for 125 miles. where there is smoke, there is fire. there is something wrong with t...

Dipped significantly in altitude to around 4 to 5,000 feet, dipped from the cruising altitude of about 35,000 feet down to about 4,000 to 5,000 feet flying from 120, 125 nautical miles at that height before coming up again to cruising altitude. why do these sources say they believe they have this information? they believe that its based on -- or they say its based on radar data, that the malaysian military radar detected at a certain point as the aircraft, as we know, it flew towards beijing, ca...

Now what theyre offering is sthi since they dont know for sure what it did, theyre assuming when it went off radar, it must have gone down below the radar. thats not how you arrive at conclusions in an investigation because of a negative, you say that the opposite must have happened. >> if it did go down to 4,000, 5,000, peter, what does it say to you? >> well, it says somebody was in control of the plane, but im with my two colleagues. the malaysians have not been forthcoming throughout this in...

They may not. theres been some new evidence here that maybe these new and emerging sounds may lead to something. but its important we dont lift anyones hopes, families of these passengers in an unfair way. were doing everything possible. we will continue to do everything possible to help the malaysian airlines and malaysian government to locate the plane. >> reporter: an agonizing 33 days after flight 370 vanished, have all countries involved been doing everything possible to find the plane? >> ...

Hundreds of miles of ocean searched. thousands of miles apart. and poorly coordinated at the start. >> it took weeks for those people to be able to be assembled and organized. >> reporter: after learning the plane lost contact with air traffic controllers at 1:19 a.m. on march 8th, search teams spent much of the first week looking in the gulf of thailand and the south china sea. four days into the search, new analysis of radar data showed the plane changed course. taking a sharp left turn. had t...

Far-fetched. >> it it was to avoid flying over the peninsula country. it was actually to avoid going over the land mass. because going over the land mass would have attracted far more attention. >> so this is is all feeding into somebody did this on purpose idea? >> and at that point, you and i will go our separate directions. because who did what where, when and why, i think we have to leave for another day. >> im with you on that. i dont believe we have enough to work on with this flight path ...

It goes down to 12,000 feet and then it goes slower and burns more fuel and ends up almost at that point that seems to be the area of highest probability. >> are we going to know from the flight data recorder exactly what the flight path was? >> yes. not only that- >> every single -- >> one thing we do know is that it went around the tip of indonesia. weve known that since march 25th. >> right. theres a record of it. >> no. we know that because thats the radar data and the first six satellite ha...
