Flight 370: Never Had A Story With ‘So Few Facts, So Much Speculation’

Jim Clancy covers the disappearance of MH370 from Kuala Lumpur

“The truth, always the truth–at all costs”
 I will strive to give you perspectives on the news that you will rarely receive from other sources. At times, there will be eye-witness reports from troubled areas, at other times, there will be documentary,interviews and other interesting works. 
I am committed to providing information by posting/archiving videos, articles, and links. I also investigate to raise awareness on numerous issues, inspire critical thinking, involvement, and hopefully to help make our world a better place for all.

According to a recently published report, the report states In 33 years with CNN, Jim Clancy has been almost everywhere and seen almost everything. That includes covering the aftermath of horrific commercial jet crashes, like Pan Am Flight 103 in Lockerbie, Scotland, and Swissair Flight 111 in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

It’s what he does. So naturally, when he got a call on March 8 that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 had vanished, Clancy went to work.

After that first week, though, the veteran international journalist said it became evident this wasn’t your typical jet crash. That’s all the more obvious four weeks in as investigators don’t have the plane’s wreckage in hand. Nor do they have a fact-based explanation as to what happened.

Below, Clancy reflects on the story and what makes it so unique and baffling — one that might take years to unravel.

Jim Clancy covering the disappearance of MH 370 from Kuala Lumpur.

QUESTION: What did you expect when you got the call and headed from Seoul to Kuala Lumpur?

CLANCY: I’ve covered various other air crashes that resulted in great loss of life. As I landed that Saturday in Kuala Lumpur, I thought — as did most journalists — that the biggest challenge to the story would be facing grieving families, having to interview and interact with them at what was almost certainly one of the worst times of their lives.

 Friends can’t ID voice on 370 recording China: Pulse signals lasted over a minute China: Ship detects pulse signal Expert: ‘Skeptical’ pulse signal located How to never lose another plane What were the final words from MH370?

But I was certain the crash itself would be quickly explained, a search would quickly bring us to conclusions.
We expected the sadness and the sorrow from the families. We knew because there were so many people on board and so many different nationalities, that it would be a major story.
We expected it to be resolved in 72 hours.

QUESTION: When did you get the sense that wouldn’t happen?

CLANCY: Very early on, at the very first news conference they hinted that the plane may have tried to reverse course, make a “turn back” as they called it.
And I asked the head of the air force: A turn back 5 km, did it make it 10 km, 20 km? And he said, I can’t tell you that, I don’t know.
And then after that, that’s when we learned that it had flown hundreds of miles on radar.

QUESTION: What’s your take on Malaysia’s response, and the reaction to it?

CLANCY: While this was not Malaysia’s first air tragedy, it was an unprecedented situation where a plane had gone missing — not because something happened that forced it down, but because it abandoned its flight course and we don’t know why.
The officials here were really hard pressed to know what do, how to react, who was in charge.
From the very beginning, everybody wanted to know the answer to one question: Where is the plane? What happened to my loved ones? And why did it go off course?
These are fundamental questions that would be asked by anyone. The problem was that Malaysian authorities didn’t have any idea what the answer was to these questions. How could they?
