The mystery of flight from Malaysia

How does the Boeing 777 of the airline of Malaysia can disappear of radar control and technically dive into a black hole?

The night flight between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing travel normally many entrepreneurs, Chinese tourists and students. It was also so that March 8. To 00:45 hours, the plane took off with 239 people on board. Being a red-eye, probably no one realized any alarming situation, when the aircraft was diverted from its path.

Understand the sequence of events leading up to the disappearance of flight MH370 is critical in the investigation, because the operation followed a very precise plan.

Shortly after takeoff, the plane was in airspace border between Malaysia and Vietnam. A vulnerable spot, because air traffic controllers of both countries may think that a plane is under the responsibility of the neighbouring country.

To 1:19 in the morning, was recorded the last message from the cockpit, saying: "OK, good night."

Two minutes later, the transponder, which gives the location and altitude of the aircraft was disabled.

Between the 01:07 and the 01:37 hours, the ACARS system, which sends data to Earth, was also shut down.

To 02:15, the plane was detected, for the last time, for a military radar 200 miles northeast of Malaysia.

Were immediately launched the search on initial trajectory of the plane. Only the next day did Malaysia reported having detected in their radar the plane after change of course, and that no action was taken, for having been evaluated in the case of a flight not "hostile".

Redirected searches, extend now about a North-South axis, the Central Asia South of the Indian Ocean, a perimeter of more than 2 million and two hundred thousand square kilometres. The right, is that the Boeing 777 flew at least another five to seven hours after getting out of its route.

Only on Monday, after 15 days of a stressful wait for families, is that the Prime Minister of Malaysia announced that the Boeing of Malasyan Airlines crashed in the Indian Ocean, leaving no survivors.

We have confirmation, but there are many issues, starting with this: were discovered wreckage, but still could not be identified. How to know if you belong to the plane?

Gérard Feldzer â€" we're not absolutely certain of anything, apart from that the plane disappeared, we don't know exactly where. To take the train of thought, it takes time and we don't have the wire principle, which is a problem. What happened during 5:0? If he flew these 5:0. We believe in an accident or volatilizou with an explosion. But then we should have found the wreckage at the scene, what didn't happen. Then they said he had sailed to the West, which we have seen in military radars. And why did you do it? If it was piracy because they were for a desert in the world? We don't know, there is no claim, nothing adds up. Was there a huge breakdown that prevented the pilot released the alert? A fire? It's something that's already happened ... but during 5:0 is amazing!

euronews â€" what is the most likely hypothesis?

GF-Personally, privilege the force majeure incident with an attempt to matrizar the plane: a fire, an explosion, but I doubt that could have flown for so long. Today I have more chances to advance. I usually have, but like other researchers, I'm in limbo.

euronews â€" there is the possibility that the plane was on autopilot. How is it possible that the pilot, the co-pilot and passengers have lost consciousness at any given time?

GF â€" already happened. A slow depressurization in a Cypriot plane. There was a door that was not watertight and lacked oxygen. Both pilots passed out and the plane was on autopilot. The improbable happens.

euronews â€" were deployed considerable resources to try to find the black boxes which may clarify the mystery surrounding the accident ... think it is still possible to find them?

GF â€" it is very difficult to find them because it needed a very restricted circle of uncertainty. But we are looking in an area four times larger than France, so it is extremely difficult. The sonar needed to pass them right on top and the signal only emits 15 more days. We must not despair, it is important to find them, even if in the end, some cynics say that good, everyone can rest assured for anybody to know too much ".

euronews â€" a few days ago, explained to us that military strategies leading to information retention. In fact, military radars had registered flight unsettling, to say the least. How can the anti-aircraft defence of Malaysia not to have acted?

GF â€" the strategic military air defence will be called into question, I'm sure. When an airplane makes a trajectory which does not correspond to the established, is considered an intruder the military level, and tried to identify him. Once it is identified, are sent fighter pilots and aircraft. In this case, nobody did anything. There may have been an attempt of September 11 or small large September 11, ignore it. Anyway, there are gaps.
