Indian ocean
The average depth of the ocean is 3,890 m (12,762 ft). Its deepest point is Diamantina Deep in Diamantina Trench, at 8,047 m (26,401 ft) deep; also sometimes considered is Sunda Trench, at a depth of 7,258–7,725 m (23,812–25,344 ft).[10] North of 50° south latitude, 86% of the main basin is covered by pelagic sediments, of which more than half is globigerina ooze. The remaining 14% is layered with terrigenous sediments. Glacial outwash dominates the extreme southern latitudes.

send a ship to map Diamantina Deep. if the pilot going to kill himself, he will go for the deepest point.

The fate of 239 lives tolerates no dereliction or selfishness

BEIJING, March 15 (Xinhua) -- More than 180 hours after Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared from radar and triggered an unprecedented multinational search mission, the heart-wrenching suspense took a dramatic turn Saturday.

At a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak revealed a trove of new information that virtually made the massive rummage in South China Sea for the Boeing 777 aircraft and the 239 people on board a huge waste of valuable time and resources.

It has turned out that the jetliner did turn back from its last known position on civilian radar and that the unidentified aircraft the Malaysian military radar detected at the north of the Strait of Malacca early Saturday morning last week was indeed MH370.

In addition, the last communication between the missing plane and satellites was recorded more than six hours after its disappearance from air traffic control screens and placed it in one of two corridors both of which are to the west of the Malaysian peninsula.

It is noteworthy that the latest revelation does shed fresh light on the possible whereabouts of the missing plane and will help narrow down the scope of search and thus ratchet up the chances of finding it.

But it is undeniable that the disclosure of such vital information is painfully belated -- more than seven excruciating days after the 227 passengers and 12 crew members lost contact with their beloved relatives and friends.

And due to the absence -- or at least lack -- of timely authoritative information, massive efforts have been squandered, and numerous rumors have been spawned, repeatedly racking the nerves of the awaiting families.

Given today's technology, the delay smacks of either dereliction of duty or reluctance to share information in a full and timely manner. That would be intolerable.

As the leader of the international search and rescue mission, Malaysia bears inescapable responsibility. Other parties that possess valuable data and information, including plane maker Boeing, engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce and intelligence superpower the United States, should also have done a better job.

No excuse stands before the fate of the 239 people for any party to slack its duty, spare any efforts or withhold any helpful information for whatever reason. The stake of 239 lives is just way too high.

With time ticking away and the fate of Flight MH370 still shrouded in mystery, it is vital and imperative that the Malaysian side work more thoroughly and efficiently and other major information holders -- not least the Unites States -- be more open and forthcoming.

The 239 lives deserve no less.

Re: MALAYSIAN Airlines flight en route to China is STILL missing

Northern arc is impossible.

The northern arc described by Najib passes through or close to some of the world’s most volatile countries that are home to insurgent groups, but also over highly militarized areas with robust air defense networks, some run by the U.S. military. The arc passes close to northern Iran, through Afghanistan and northern Pakistan, and through northern India and the Himalayan mountains and Myanmar. An aircraft flying on that arc would have to pass through air defense networks in India and Pakistan, whose mutual border is heavily militarized, as well as through Afghanistan, where the United States and other NATO countries have operated air bases for more than a decade.

Air bases near that arc include Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan, where the U.S. Air Force’s 455th Air Expeditionary Wing is based, and a large Indian air base, Hindon Air Force Station.

The southern arc, from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean, travels over open water with few islands stretching all the way to Antarctica. If the aircraft took that path, it may have passed near Australia’s Cocos (Keeling) Islands. These remote islands, with a population of fewer than 1,000 people, have a small airport. To the east of that route is Western Australia.

Bomoh said plane is still in the air.

Until someone has found irrefutable proof that the plane has landed, crashed or sunk to the bottom of the sea, his claim is equally valid.

Experts cast doubt on unanswered calls from flight MH370

After the daughter of a passenger on the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 said she had received an unanswered phone call from her father, a Chinese expert has said this is not a solid evidence that it was the passenger who made the call.

Chinese media reported that the daughter dialed her father's phone a number of times after discovering the unanswered call but heard only a pre-recorded voice message saying that the phone was shut off.

Some family members of passengers aboard the flight said their cell phones were still ringing days after the Boeing 777-200 disappeared around an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing on March 8 with 239 people aboard. They have sought answers from telecom companies who have rejected them and said the information is confidential, said Hugh Dunleavy, the commercial director of Malaysia Airlines, cited in China's state newswire Xinhua.

Telecom experts said a record of an unanswered phone call could originate from the owner of the phone but could also come from entities using software or other technology to pretend to be the owner. It is also possible that telecom operators' systems malfunctioned and delivered false information, our Chinese-language sister paper Want Daily said.

Experts with Chinese software company Qihoo 360 said the passengers' families could pull cell phone records from telecom operators. If the operators' records matched those of the families, the phone call could be reliably judged to have been made by a passenger on the missing plane. If the records to not match, the call could have originated from an illegal telephone base or online telephone.

In the latest news concerning the missing flight, Malaysia's prime minister, Najib Razak, has announced that satellite evidence indicates with a high degree of certainty that the plane was hijacked by people with flying experience who deliberately switched off the aircraft's communications systems and changed course after the last confirmed contact with the flight over the South China Sea, turning it back across the Malaysian peninsula and towards India.

'My friend is not a terrorist': member of Malaysian opposition party defends captain of missing flight MH370

Captain of Malaysia Airlines jet a 'professional and dedicated pilot', says fellow member of Malaysian opposition party, ruling out terrorist link

UPDATED : Sunday, 16 March, 2014, 4:16am

Adrian Wan in Kuala Lumpur [email protected]

Pilots Zaharie Ahmad Shah (left) and Fariq Abdul Hamid were described as respectable, community-minded men.

A well-connected friend of missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah has leapt to his defence as speculation mounts over who was responsible for the disappearance of the Boeing 777.

An aide to a Malaysian member of parliament with strong links to the most controversial figure in the country's politics in recent times - Anwar Ibrahim - has told the Sunday Morning Post that Zaharie is a close friend and fellow member of Anwar's opposition People's Justice Party.

Peter Chong, 51, secretary to People's Justice Party MP Sivarasa Rasiah, who represented Anwar in his recent sodomy court case, has described 53-year-old Zaharie as a "caring man and a professional and dedicated pilot" who always puts the safety of his passengers first.

Chong, who first met Zaharie two years ago, said they struck up a close relationship and spoke regularly. The last time he spoke to Zaharie was a week before the missing flight took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

"We basically ran into each other so we did not spend much time together, but we said we would meet after he returned from Beijing," he said. "There was nothing unusual about him that time, and nothing unusual in the recent few months also," Chong told the Post.

Chong describes Zaharie as a "confidant" and "fellow activist" on his Twitter account,

"The Malaysian government may play with his political membership with the opposition party, but I think it's got nothing to do with this. I hope to let the families of the passengers know their lives were in the hands of somebody good," he said.

He also told of the captain's home flight simulator. "One of his reasons to build a flight simulator in his home was to share the joy of flying with his friends. People have asked me if that means he'll also invite other people into the cockpit. The answer I think is 'no'. The law doesn't allow it," Chong said.

"So if his friends want to try their hands at flying, they can do it at his home. In fact, according to him, it's even more challenging than flying a real plane. Because when you fly a real plane, usually the weather condition isn't bad, but in the simulator you can create all kinds of snowstorms and wind.

"He's invited me many times but I haven't got to try it myself."

Penang-born Zaharie has amassed more than 18,000 flying hours during his 33-year career.

"He's a very caring and friendly person. If he were sitting with us, he would be the one moving things on the table making sure you have your food and coffee," Chong told the Post.

"And if he flies a plane, he would make sure his passengers are safe," he said, adding that that was why Malaysia Airlines picked him to train other pilots.

"Things are pointing towards [him] probably [being] the cause of the thing, terrorism and all that. I think that's not fair because nobody knows what's happening. That's why I decided to come forward and speak," he said.

"I don't blame people for exploring every angle. But until there is proof that he is a terrorist, I will not accept it," he said.

An anonymous writer has launched an information page for people to get to know Zaharie better in a bid to avoid a character assassination against his professional record.

Several current Malaysia Airlines flight personnel who knew Zaharie and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid personally said they could not accept allegations made against their friends.

"The co-pilot was a close friend of mine. We used to go out together and he was always a good man who loved his profession," a female flight attendant said.

She said she could not reveal her name because the company had asked staff not to comment publicly on the incident.

"I saw them just a week before it happened, and they were both acting very normal. I can't accept claims that he's been having another life," she said.

Taiwan considering whether to continue search for missing plane

2014/03/15 21:10:58

Taipei, March 15 (CNA) The Ministry of National Defense said Saturday that it will learn more about the latest developments in the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 before deciding what "follow-up work" it should do in the search for the missing plane.

Spokesman Luo Shou-he said that the defense ministry, which has contributed a transport plane and Navy vessels to the search, will wait to understand what Malaysia intends to do after the country announced it would stop searching an area of the South China Sea for the Boeing 777 in favor of considering new possibilities.

The Taiwanese C-130 transport plane has been combing the area daily since March 10 to help find the plane, which disappeared two days earlier on March 8 with one Taiwanese citizen aboard. A Chengkung-class Navy frigate, a Lafayette-class vessel and two Coast Guard Administration (CGA) vessels also joined the search out of the spirit of humanitarian rescue.

Taiwan's part in the search began when the missing flight was still suspected to have crashed in the ocean, but authorities now believe its disappearance and apparent divergence from its planned route were intentional decisions.

Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said in a news conference Saturday afternoon that investigators believe someone aboard the flight deliberately shut down communications and tracking systems, changed the flight course and continued to fly for nearly seven hours after disappearance.

The plane could have headed northward from northern Thailand toward Kazakhstan or southward from Indonesia to the southern Indian Ocean, the prime minister said, greatly widening the radius from where search operations have been conducted.

Malaysia itself has called off the search in the South China Sea in light of new evidence to search other areas and investigate the flight's passengers and crew.

MH370 disappeared from radar screens in the early hours of March 8 after taking off from Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing.

Air traffic controllers lost contact with the aircraft, which was carrying 227 passengers, including Taiwanese national Chuang Hsiu-ling, and a 12-member crew.

No debris from the plane has been discovered so far, leaving investigators perplexed and with few clues as to what might have happened.

Re: Backside bandit Anwar wants to probe KLIA bomoh!

breaking news. focus is now on cockpit crew, at least one of them. u.s. intelligence believes flight detour is "preplanned" and "pre-programmed."

the secondary focus now is on southern arc of inmarsat last ping several (7) hours into flight. looks like they were heading towards antarctica, perhaps swinging north to nz from there and giving sam a buzz. :p

Re: Backside bandit Anwar wants to probe KLIA bomoh!

mental soundness of cockpit crew in question, and looks like investigation is alluding to crew being pissed with malaysia and making a political statement of some sort to embarrass the current regime. still speculation at this point. :o
