Malaysian Government Official On Flight MH370: “Plane Was Hijacked”
Freedom Outpost
Finally, an official states the obvious. The person or persons who took the controls whether one of the pilots suddenly got religion or someone on the passenger list took over — in any event whoever it was had very sophisticated knowledge of this aircraft.
The deliberate actions taken after the manuals were disabled, someone put in manual commands for a sharp left turn, five hours after that occurred it appears someone left the cockpit, went below and disabled that last signaling system purposely and continue to fly (without those now well understood “pings” back to Rolls Royce.” That is sophisticated knowledge. This was all to obfuscate and mask the flight’s path.
The Wall Street Journal reports, “A physical disconnection of the satellite communications system would require extremely detailed knowledge of the aircraft, its internal structure and its systems.”
Channel News Asia reports,” a senior Malaysian military official said on Saturday, citing radar data indicating a “skilled, competent” pilot was at the controls.
The NY Times reports:
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 experienced significant changes in altitude after it lost contact with ground control, and altered its course more than once as if still under the command of a pilot, American officials and others familiar with the investigation said Friday.
Radar signals recorded by the Malaysian military appeared to show that the missing airliner climbed to 45,000 feet, above the approved altitude limit for a Boeing 777-200, soon after it disappeared from civilian radar and turned sharply to the west, according to a preliminary assessment by a person familiar with the data.
The radar track, which the Malaysian government has not released but says it has provided to the United States and China, showed that the plane then descended unevenly to 23,000 feet, below normal cruising levels, as it approached the densely populated island of Penang.
There, officials believe, the plane turned from a southwest-bound course, climbed to a higher altitude and flew northwest over the Strait of Malacca toward the Indian Ocean.
