Kuala Lumpur, March 11: According to Malaysia's military, the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner has been found on radar over the Strait of Malacca, says a Reuters report. The location is far from where it last made contact with air traffic control, off the country's east coast. The Strait of Malacca, one of the world's busiest shipping channels, runs along Malaysia's west coast. The airline said on Saturday that the flight carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew last had contact off the east coast Malaysian town of Kota Bharu. "It changed course after Kota Bharu and took a lower altitude. It made it into the Malacca Strait," the military official, who has been briefed on investigations, said. Meanwhile, a man from North-West Malaysia said he spotted a 'bright light descending into  the Gulf of Thailand on Saturday night, leading searchers to doubt if the plane crashed into the sea.  The Beijing-bound Boeing 777-200 Flight MH370 of Malaysia Airlines had 239 passengers aboard, including five Indians and one Indian-origin Canadian, and 12 crew members. It went missing on Saturday morning.

inni rojulu kanipinchakapothe adhi almost confirm ee kada man... remember ysr incident?

but if u remember 

When flight takes off Crew tells us what to do when Flight is landing in a see 

like where jackets .are located ...how to wear them ..etc..

 

I thought ..may be ..few ppl can survive who r quick and alert and can use the jackets and jump

This is the very reason lot of hope that at least few members will survive..

 

YSR case is different

Q. How could a Boeing 777 simply vanish? Aren’t they always tracked by radar or satellites?

 

A. Radar coverage is not universal, especially over water. In areas without radar, pilots are generally required to radio in their positions at fixed intervals, mostly to assure that air traffic controllers can keep aircraft out of one another’s way. Between intervals, something could go wrong.

Q. Plane crashes most often happen on landing or takeoff, but this flight vanished almost an hour after takeoff when it was cruising. What could cause a plane to crash at that point in a flight?

A. In three crashes at sea in the last few years, the aircraft’s speed-sensing systems have malfunctioned. In two of those cases, crews failed to diagnose and cope with the problem. (In the third, there was probably nothing they could have done.) A deliberate act by a pilot, terrorism or an attack in the cockpit could be other causes.

Q. Shouldn’t the signals from transponders or “black boxes” have pinpointed the aircraft by now?

A. If the black boxes are in water, “pingers,” which emit a tone, are activated. But these are audible only in a limited area. And the plane may not be in the water.

Q. Why would the authorities not have found debris after so many hours of searching?

A. They may not be looking in the right place. The plane flies at 10 miles a minute, and no one knows exactly when it crashed, or whether it departed its assigned track before doing so.

Q. How far from its last known location could the aircraft have strayed? 

A. While we know where the last radio contact was, we do not know how long after that the airplane crashed, so it is hard to say. A jetliner cruising at 35,000 feet could glide as far as 80 or 90 miles after losing engine power if the pilots still had control.

 

Q. Are there any signs that terrorism might have been involved?

 

A. No group is known to have claimed to have destroyed the plane. Beyond that, not enough is known to speculate.

 

Q. If the plane had a major malfunction, wouldn’t the pilots have called for help and sent distress signals?

 

A. Pilots have a mantra for setting priorities in an emergency: aviate, navigate, communicate. The first priority is to fly the airplane. Telling air traffic controllers on the ground what is going on comes third, since doing so is unlikely to instantly yield any help with the crisis in the cockpit, whatever it may be. If the pilots are fighting to keep the plane aloft, they may not have time to use the radio.

 

Q. Could one of the pilots have crashed the plane deliberately?

 

A. It’s been known to happen: The crashes of an EgyptAir flight from Kennedy International Airport in 1999 and a SilkAir flight in Indonesia in 1997 were attributed to intentional acts by cockpit crew members. But nothing is yet known publicly to suggest that that happened on the Malaysia Airlines flight.

Q. Have other planes disappeared in this way in recent years?

A. There is no record of big planes simply disappearing, though they may take some time to find. A few pieces of debris from Air France Flight 447 were spotted floating in the Atlantic the day after the plane crashed in June 2009, but it took five days to find most of the wreckage. Small aircraft may be missing for much longer if they go down in remote areas. Steve Fossett, the daredevil adventurer who flew around the world solo in a plane and set records in a balloon, took off in his private plane in Nevada on Sept. 3, 2007, and his remains were found in October 2008.
