MH370 Hits Unreal Snag

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has suffered another setback after finding out the search equipment is faulty. Not one but both main transponders used in the search are defective.

 

What are the chances?

 

The Joint Agency Coordination Centre discovered a defect in the transponder on Ocean Shield and say a defect may also exist in the transponder mounted on the US Navy Bluefin-21 submersible.

 

The Australian vessel, carrying the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, arrived back in the southern Indian Ocean search zone Tuesday after a port visit to Perth following the air and sea hunt scaled back.

 

The plan was for it to resume scouring the seabed where transmissions believed to have come from the plane’s black box flight recorders were heard last month.

 

But the Bluefin-21 was recovered about two hours into its first mission since returning to the search area so a communications problem could be investigated, according to News.com.au. “During the recovery, Bluefin-21 was damaged but was able to be repaired expeditiously with spare parts on board the ADV Ocean Shield, JACC said in a statement today.”

 

“Examination of the communications problem has established that a hardware defect exists in the transponder mounted on the Ocean Shield and that a defect may also exist in the transponder mounted on the Bluefin-21,” the statement said. “This inhibits the ability of the two devices to communicate with each other.”

 

The transponder mounted on the Ocean Shield and the transponder on the Bluefin-21 communicate with each other during a dive. When communications issues were experienced Tuesday, the Bluefin-21 was recovered.

 

JACC said communication between the two devices had been working effectively up until then.

“Any communications issues previously would have been immediately obvious because communications between the two transponders are closely monitored by an operator on board Ocean Shield,” a JACC spokesperson told News Corp.

 

This defect had no bearing on the signals detected by the Towed Pinger Locater deployed from ADV Ocean Shield last month.

 

“The Towed Pinger Locator does not rely on transponders to communicate with the operating vessel.”

 

Spare parts for both defects will be dispatched from the United Kingdom. The parts are expected to arrive in Western Australia on Sunday.

 

“Ocean Shield is currently en route to Dampier, Western Australia, to receive the transponder parts. The journey is anticipated to take a number of days,” JACC said. “At this stage, Ocean Shield is expected go alongside so engineers can make a full assessment of the transponder repairs.”

 

The Boeing 777 vanished on March 8 with 239 people on board after diverting from its Kuala Lumpur-Beijing route. Some officials say it crashed far off Australia’s west coast.

 

Air and sea searches over vast stretches of the Indian Ocean have failed to find any sign of MH370.

 

Australia, leading the hunt, has stressed that it believes it is looking in the right area based on satellite communications from the plane.

 

Officials have said an intensified undersea mission will begin once new and more sophisticated equipment to complement Bluefin-21 can be obtained to search at depths of more than 4500 metres.

 

“A Chinese survey ship is now in the search area and will assist in preparations for future operations.”

 

Meanwhile, international experts continue re-examining satellite imagery and all data collated so far to try to pinpoint a more precise location for the search that many experts say is a wild goose chase, since the US has refused to provide data. That data is sealed under the Obama administration.

      DEB..

      I posted this a few days ago on another post but dont know how many folks have seen this:

      I think this is the REAL truth.
      Found this on an alert on Steve Quayles site perhaps you might consider doing some deeper snooping into this -though have no idea where you might look.
      Check this out: (and yes it DOES mention Diego Garcia)

      MAY 9

      MH 370 THIS EXPLAINS IT ALL!
      -Air Force source high up the food chain in the 5 sided building on the Potomac.

      NOTE THIS WAS RECVD LAST WEEK BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED ON OTHER SITE AS AN ASIDE

      During the American withdrawal from Afghanistan, one of their command and control system used for controlling the drones operation, was hijacked by the Taliban when the American transport convoy was moving down from one of the hill top bases.

      The Taliban ambushed the convoy and killed 2 American Seal personnel, seized the equipment/weapons, including the command and control system which weighed about 20 tons and packed into 6 crates.

      This happened about a month ago in Feb 2014.

      The Taliban want money for the system from the Russian or the Chinese. The Russians are too busy in Ukraine.

      The Chinese are hungry for the systems technology.

      The Chinese goal is to master the technology behind the command and control system, then, all the American drones will become useless.

      So the Chinese sent 8 top defense scientists to check the system and agreed to pay millions for it.

      Sometime in early Mar 2014, the 8 scientists and the 6 crates made their way to Malaysia, thinking that it was the best covert way to avoid detection.

      The cargo was then kept in the Embassy under diplomatic protection.

      Meanwhile, American covert intelligence, with the assistance of Israeli intelligence together, determined to intercept and recapture the cargo.

      The Chinese calculated that it will be safe to transport it via civilian aircraft so as to avoid suspicion.

      After all, the direct flight from KL to Beijing takes only 4 and half hours, and the American military will not hijack or harm civilian commercial aircraft, so MH 370 is the perfect carrier.

      There were 5 American and Israeli agents onboard who are familiar with Boeing operation.

      The 2 Iranians with stolen passports worked in tandem among them.

      When MH 370 was about to leave the Malaysian air space and reporting to Vietnamese air control, an American AWAC jammed their signal, disabled the pilot control system and switched over to remote control mode.

      That was when the plane suddenly lost altitude momentarily.

      During AWAC operations activity in the 911 incident, all Boeing aircraft and Airbus aircraft are installed with remote control system to counter terrorist hijacking. Since then all Boeing commercial aircraft could be remote controlled by FAA /ATC ground control towers.

      The same remote control system used to control the pilot less spy aircraft and drones.

      The 5 American/Israeli agents soon took over the plane, switched off the transponder and other communication systems, changed course, and flew westwards.

      They dare not fly east to Philippines or Guam because the whole South China Sea air space was covered by Chinese surveillance radar and satellite.

      The Malaysian, Thai, and Indian military radars actually detected the unidentified aircraft but did not react.

      The plane flew over North Sumatra, Anabas, South India and then landed at Maldives some villagers saw the aircraft landing), refueled and continued its flight to Garcia Diego, the American Air Base in the middle of Indian Ocean.

      The cargo and the black box were removed.

      The passengers were silenced via natural means, lack of oxygen by achieving a temporary altitude to 45,000.

      The MH370 with dead passengers were air borne again via remote control and crashed into South Indian Ocean, make it to believe that the plane eventually ran out of fuel and crashed, and blame the defiant captain and copilot, but first diverting all the attention and search effort in the South China Sea, while the plane made their way to Indian Ocean.

      Then they came out with some conflicting statement and evidence to confuse the world.

      The Australians are diversion distracter.

      The amount of effort put up by China, in terms of the number of search aircraft, ships and satellites, searching first the South China Sea, then the Malacca Straits and the Indian Ocean is unprecedented.

      This showed that the China is very concerned, not so much because of the many Chinese civilian passengers, but mainly the high value cargo and its 8 top defense scientists.

      One does not like to think of officials or leaders as committing evil covert events or to do things to cover up a mess.

      They operate under the premise called The burden of leadership meaning, the end justifies the means.

      The few inside the circle know the truth, those outside the circle know a little bit, but if the majority is confused then the objective has been achieved in order to stabilize the insanity of world events.

      This has been the course of human history from the get go and if you are fortunate to shoot pool with certain spooks, you are privy to the inner circle. Hard to believe it, right?

      Thats the goal!’

        Thank you. Yes, I’d seen it and found it intriguing. Much appreciated.

      • MileHiLife

        This raised a few eyebrows last week, mine included, but has since been admitted to as a fake by the author. A website owner (can’t recall who) fabricated it as he thought it was a plausible scenario. I’d search for links but short on time — shouldn’t be too hard to dig up.
        Thanks!

    • Deborah Dupre

      What are the chances that both transponders used to find MH370 and 239 missing persons would be defective?

      • MileHiLife

        Yeah it makes ya wonder doesn’t it? Nice find, Deb.

    • Who dat

      What with the Boeing 757 not fit for service and now 777′s have faulty transponders, you have to ask what the fk is going on at Boeing, they should all be grounded. I bet some truths would pop out if someone could organise that form of attack. There is something up with the way Boeing are still allowed to fly the 757 , it’s a flying death trap, any other plane would have tarmac permanently attached to it, put this info with it and go on the attack. I don’t believe the black box doesn’t work but use this crap against them.
