It WAS hijacked: Malaysian official says it's
CONCLUSIVE jet carrying 239 was seized by individual or group 'with
significant flying experience' as PM admits tracking was 'deliberately'
disabled
Officials confirmed missing plane was hijacked by one or several people
Could have turned off communication system and steered it off-course
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak refused to confirm the reports
Investigators working to establish motive and where plane was taken
Reports suggest home of one of the pilots is currently being searched
Investigators say the missing Malaysia Airlines jet was hijacked and steered off-course. A
Malaysian government official said people with significant flying
experience could have turned off the flight's communication devices. The representative said
that hijacking theory was now 'conclusive', and police are now believed
to be searching the home of pilot, Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah. While
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak refused to confirm that flight
MH370 was taken over, he admitted 'deliberate action' on board the plane
resulted in it changing course and losing connection with ground crews. The plane's communication system was
switched off as it headed East over the Malaysian seaboard and its last
known location was six-and-a-half hours later than first thought.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak on Saturday refused to confirm reports the plane was 'hijacked'
Conclusion: Malaysian officials say flight MH370 could have been
hijacked by one or several people with flying experience and
deliberately
diverted
Changing course: Officials said radar data suggests the plane may have
turned back and crossed over the Malaysian peninsula after setting out
Re-routed: Malaysian officials have said radar data suggests the plane
may have turned back and crossed over the Malaysian peninsula toward the
Andaman Islands after setting out on a northeastern path toward the
Chinese capital
It is not yet clear where the plane was taken, however Mr Razak said the most recent satellite data suggests the plane could
have headed to one of two possible flight corridors.
One
possibility is the northern corridor, which stretches from the border
of Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan to northern Thailand, while the other is
the southern
corridor from Indonesia to the Southern Indian Ocean.
The aircraft's fuel reserves mean it could have travelled as far as Pakistan, Sri Lanka or Australia in the other direction. However,
if it was diverted into the Indian Ocean, the task of the search teams
becomes more difficult, as there are hundreds of uninhabited islands and
the water reaches depths of around 23,000ft. US
investigators have also not ruled out the possibility that the
passengers are being held at an unknown location and suggest that faint
'pings' were being transmitted for several hours after the flight lost
contact with the ground. Malaysian authorities and others are urgently investigating the two pilots and 10 crew members, along with the 227
passengers on board. Police have already said they are
looking into the psychological background of the pilots, Ahmad
Shah, 53, and Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, their family life and connections.

Mr Razak added authorities have not
ruled out any possibilities in the international search for the plane,
which now involves 14 countries, 43 ships and 58 aircraft.
'Clearly
the search has entered a new phase. Over the last seven days, we have
followed every lead and looked into every possibility,' Mr Razak said.
'For family and friends (of the passengers), we hope this new
information brings us one step closer to finding the plane.' The
Boeing 777's communication with the ground was severed just under one
hour into the flight on March 8 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. It has now been confirmed the plane turned back and
crossed over the Malaysian peninsula after setting out on a northeastern
path toward the Chinese capital.
Experts
say signals from the plane shows it then continued flying for at least
five hours in an unknown direction. The plane's messaging system and
transponder were both deliberately cut off and with them all hopes of
further tracking the plane.
American officials had been briefing Friday that the investigation was looking at
'human intervention' - one source even said it may have
been 'an act of piracy'. The disabling of the Boeing
777's transponder and messaging system occurred around 12 minutes apart. Such a gap would be unlikely in the case of an
in-flight catastrophe and gave authorities the clearest indication to date someone on-board was behind it. The
motive of the hijack is still not clear. No demands have been made and
no groups have publicly claimed involvement in the disappearance.

Some experts have said that pilot
suicide may be the most likely explanation for the disappearance, as was
suspected in a SilkAir crash during a flight from Singapore to Jakarta
in 1997 and an EgyptAir flight in 1999.
The
already global search effort will now be expanded along the two large
corridors outlined in his speech. It is unclear how resources will be
allocated but the Prime Minister said all the countries within those
areas had been notified of the renewed focus.

Malaysia has come under fire for what
has been described as a 'pretty chaotic' search, with China saying the
overall search effort has consequently been mired in confusion after a
series of false alarms, rumors and contradictory statements. Meanwhile, the hijacking news will renew focus on the two pilots at the helm of the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet. Despite
the investigation, Malaysian officials and friends of the pilots have
told MailOnline this week that there are no reasons to suspect either
the Captain or co-pilot of having personal problems that would have
resulted in them taking control of the aircraft. The
only known blot on co-pilot Fariq's character appears to be the time
2011 when he invited two South African women into the cockpit when he
and another officer flew a jet from Thailand to Malaysia.

In the days since the flight went
missing, it has emerged that Shah was so passionate about flying he has
is own flight simulator at home. As the search continued for the missing
Boeing 777, military radar suggested the plane was deliberately flown
towards India's Andaman Islands. Two
sourcesfamiliar with the
investigation said an unidentified aircraft - which investigators
believe was flight MH370 - was plotted by military radar following a route between navigational
waypoints. This indicates that it was either being flown by the pilots or someone with knowledge of those waypoints, the sources said.

The last plot on the military radar's
tracking suggested the plane was flying towards India's Andaman Islands, a
chain of isles between the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal, they
said. Waypoints are
geographic locations, worked out by calculating longitude and latitude,
that help pilots navigate along established air corridors. India recently began searching hundreds of uninhabited islands in the Andaman Sea, using heat-seeking devices. Two
Indian air force reconnaissance planes began flying over the islands as
a precaution, after they and two naval ships scoured the seas
surrounding the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, according to spokesman Col.
Harmit Singh of India's Tri-Services Command on the territory. The
archipelago that stretches south of Myanmar contains 572 islands
covering an area of 720 by 52 kilometers. Only 37 are inhabited, with
the rest covered in dense forests.

The focus of search efforts shifted on
Thursday from the South China Sea after the US said 'new information'
indicated that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 may have gone down to the
west in the Indian Ocean.
China,
which had more than 150 citizens on board the missing plane, has
deployed four warships, four coastguard vessels, eight aircraft and
trained 10 satellites on a wide search area. Chinese media have
described the ship deployment as the largest Chinese rescue fleet ever
assembled. The Boeing 777
has one of the best safety records of any commercial aircraft in
service. Its only previous fatal crash came on July 6 last year when
Asiana Airlines Flight 214 struck a sea wall with its undercarriage on
landing in San Francisco. Three people died in the incident.
THREE TYPES OF SIGNALS GIVEN OFF BY PLANES, AND HOW THEY RELATE TO MISSING MH370
The
missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 sent signals to a satellite
for four hours after the aircraft went missing, an indication that it
was still flying for hundreds of miles or more, according to a U.S.
official briefed on the search for the jet. This raises the possibility that the plane may have flown far from the current search areas. Here is a look at three types of signals planes give off, and how they relate to the missing jetliner:
TRANSPONDERS Transponders
are electronic devices that automatically identify commercial aircraft
within air traffic control radar range and transmit information on the
plane's identity, location and altitude to ground radar stations. Beyond
radar range, they enable planes to be identified and tracked anywhere
in the world by satellite. Transponders can be turned off by pilots. The
missing jet's transponder last communicated with Malaysian civilian
radar about an hour after takeoff, when the plane was above the Gulf of
Thailand between Malaysia and southern Vietnam.
ACARS ACARS
- or Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System - is a
data link system used to transmit short messages such as weather updates
and status reports between aircraft and ground stations via radio or
satellite. According
to the U.S. official, ACARS messages sent by the missing plane continued
after its transponder went silent, although he wasn't certain for how
long.
OPERATING DATA SENT VIA SATELLITE Boeing
offers a satellite service that can receive data during a flight on how
the aircraft is functioning and relay the information to the plane's
home base. The idea is to provide information before the plane lands on
whether maintenance work or repairs are needed. Even if an airline does
not subscribe to the service, planes still periodically send automated
signals - or pings - to the satellite seeking to establish contact. Malaysia
Airlines did not subscribe to the satellite service. The U.S. official
said automated pings were received from the jetliner for four hours
after it went missing, indicating it probably flew for hundreds of miles
beyond its last confirmed sighting on radar.
