Malaysia Airlines Pilot Tried To Scramble Jets To Intercept, Expert Says

At least one Malaysia Airlines MH370 pilot tried to scramble jets by flying over two Malaysian Ar Force bases before leaving the region, suggests an expert based on the flight path.

The “most intriguing question” for Jonah Blank, a senior political scientist at RAND Corporation, is why Malaysian Airlines MH370 Boeing 777 flew over two Malaysian Air Force radar stations, he told CBS.

“To me,” Blank said, “that suggests at least one of the pilots was trying to scramble jets to intercept.”

Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, the well-loved human rights defender pilot of MH370, “was a hero struggling with an impossible situation trying to get that plane to Langkawi,” Chris Goodfellow, with 20 years experience as a Canadian Class-1 instrumented-rated pilot for multi-engine planes, said Tuesday. Goodfellow presented a worst case scenario of the fate of the plane and passengers, one poorly received by Before It’s News readers, some of whom have extensive intel backgrounds.

Why was no help forthcoming?

“Looks like to me that the airliner and pilots wanted help,” exclaimed a commenter Tryingtomakesense, regarding the flight path over military bases. “They were trying to save the plane and change course as to not get hit. 

“Flying over two Malaysian Air Force stations makes sense that he wanted help. [N]o one gave it to him?” the commenter asked, as many others around the world have. “Or did they and they are all hiding?”

A U.S. official said Friday in Washington that investigators were examining the possibility of “human intervention” in the plane’s disappearance, adding it may have been “an act of piracy.”

The official said key evidence suggesting human intervention was that contact with the Boeing 777′s transponder stopped about 12 minutes before a messaging system on the jet quit. Such a gap would be unlikely in the case of an in-flight catastrophe.

That official, reportedly unauthorized to talk to media and speaking on condition of anonymity, said it also was possible the plane might have landed somewhere.

Might have? Evidence is mounting the plane landed at the notorious Diego Garcia military base, where islanders allagedly saw it heading, that military officials are denying.

Adding to what passengers’ loved ones say appears to be a coverup by US officials involved in the missing plane’s SAR, Malaysia government dismissed statements Maldives islanders on Tuesday, saying they saw what at least one official said was probably MH370 flying under the radar close to roof tops.

Malaysia government said Wednseday the islanders are not telling the truth, based on the Maldives military head. A police investigation there, however, is under way.

The islanders said the plane was heading south, meaning it was heading in the direction of the CIA’s infamous Diego Garcia black site used by the U.S. for what it calls terrorists.

Meanwhile, new information and lack thereof has prompted families of passengers to threaten a hunger strike as they grieve for the passengers and their anger at officials continues to mount.
