Malaysia Airlines: Police investigation launched into ‘sabotage’ possibility after another Malaysian jet makes emergency landing

Police in Malaysia have been ordered to investigate the possibility of sabotage after yet another Malaysia Airlines jet was forced to make an emergency landing shortly after departing from Kuala Lumpur.

The captain of the Boeing 737-800, which was carrying 159 passengers and seven crew for what should have been a routine 90-minute flight to Bangalore, India, had to turn back after it emerged that one of the tyres on its main landing gear had burst during take-off.

Airport staff contacted the pilots of flight MH192 late last night after they found debris from the tyre scattered across the runway. It was also reported that the plane also had difficulties deploying the gear on its way back in.

The airline said that airport fire rescue services were deployed to the runway, but the jet was able to touch back down in Kuala Lumpur without incident around three hours after it left.

Malaysia’s acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein, who has been at the forefront of Malaysian efforts to recover the missing flight MH370, travelled to the airport and later tweeted: “They have landed safely – thank God.”

Describing the crew of MH192 as “heroes” for the way they calmly dealt with the situation, he called for an urgent inquiry to “get to the bottom of this” and said the country’s police Special Branch had already been called in.

According to the local Star newspaper, Mr Hishammuddin said the Department of Civil Aviation and Malaysia Airlines were due to provide a preliminary report by Wednesday.

The incident comes not only after the disappearance of flight MH370 on 8 March, but also after another Malaysia Airlines plane was “diverted” from its course shortly after departing Kuala Lumpur.

Flight MH066, an Airbus A330, was forced to make an unscheduled stop at Hong Kong’s international airport after losing power from its primary generator.

Asked about the possibility of sabotage due to the recent spate of incidents involving Malaysia Airlines, the minister said: “I have already directed the police to get going immediately. Our standard operating procedure, as with MH370, has not changed but any leads that we have must be verified and corroborated.

“We are thankful that none of the passengers are hurt. I was very touched earlier when I was able to meet the passengers, as most of them were very impressed with the captain and crew,” he said.

Meanwhile, the underwater search for MH370 approached the end of its first full week without uncovering any clues that could shed light on what led the plane to veer off into the southern Indian Ocean.

The US Navy unmanned submersible vehicle Bluefin 21 has embarked on eight missions to the ocean floor, covering around two-thirds of the designated search area and at times venturing beyond its recommended safe depth of 4,500m (2.8 miles).

The Australia-based search coordination centre has said the sonar scan of the sea bed in that area was expected to be completed sometime this week.

What a relief, I would imagine those passengers and crew were petrified Let's hope it's just a coincidence....

Some people would say there is no such thing as a coincidence, particularly in a mysterious disappearance of a plane.

Let's hope the Special Branch get to the bottom of it Eddie before something else happens  

Well, in each case the damage has been different, so who knows, if it was sabotage, what particular system was targeted. Something that affected the steering and communications?

I know if it were me I'd not fly from there or use that airline

That's a threesome. Those guys can't distinguish between their anus and a pothole.

What a racist little man you are.   By that reckoning, the people who built the towers wouldn't be trusted rather than the people who destroyed them:

And how is a blown tyre sabotage?

Well, just because the police are looking into it does not mean there is anything at all to it.

You gotta understand that the Malaysian authorities are under a lot of pressure these days surrounding their airline. Looking into any possible wrongdoing is a form of ass-covering, given the context. A flurry of activity makes them appear to be in control, when the opposite is more the case.

Ok, so you don't believe in coincidences when it suits your conspiracy theories, but do when it looks as if there is a spate of sabotages. Guess that is what prejudice does to you.

It actually tallies nicely with my conspiracy theory: people wanting a plane or planes for future evil use.

It seems to me to be more of a spate of sabotage to undermine Malaysian Airways.

I don't have any conspiracies in mind. All I have are questions. Most particularly, after the Malacca Strait, what happened to Flight MH370?

Sassy wrote:It seems to me to be more of a spate of sabotage to undermine Malaysian Airways.

A lot of questions.  What for; how so?  Who is doing it?  What is the objective?  What evidence--in terms of solid facts--is there to substantiate this sabotage conspiracy?

Is this the doings of the CIA?  Men in Black? Freemasons? Or, more in the nature of UFOs?

Haha...nup, not me. I'll leave it to the conspiracy theorists who believe it is sabotage.

Oh dear, not a conspiracy theory, a police investigation. You'd think you'd know the difference. The conspiracy theory was that the plane had landed on Diego Garcia.

Well you were more than happy to buy into the conspiracy that it was in Diego Garcia - in fact you were really supportive of that one.

Remember?

  :::grouch:: 

   AS ALWAYS, there's that significant minority of gullible and distrusting people who want to believe the weirdest and the whackiest excuses and any possible conspiracies that pop up...

THEY distrust the mainstream media and political parties to such extremes that that are all too willing to listen to ANY crazy and noisy strangers, the more crazy their stories the better..

AND there's always the stirrers and the jokesters just waiting to fuel their conspiracy fires ~ and all too eager to see how far they can stoke it.

AND these days "seeing it on the internet" has replaced "hearing it down the pub' !" as their main 'reliable sources'.  

Good job some of us don't believe them then lol

A conspiracy theory is wild speculation, without facts. The Malaysian police have no more facts than you do, sass. In addition, they are embarrassed and have to invent the allegation of sabotage in order to deflect: don't look over here, look over there. It's all they--and you--have got.

Me? I've got questions. But without facts, I have no theories.

Quill, please feel free to carry on being so pathetic as to think that someone pointing out that you have done a complete about face on a debate board is bullying, but I'm sure others will also feel free draw their own conclusions. You can back peddle, pussy foot around it, come up with long posts that say completely nothing, but the crux of the matter is, you were telling people all the reasons why the plane was on Diego Garcia, and not you are saying no conclusions can be drawn.

Girl, you don't have a chance...give it up.

Possessed with you? You're the one who is so sad he can't admit to a change of heart. Oh dear, doing a couple of posts on here is 'an important part of my life'. Shut up you silly old man, you do like to think you are more important than you are.

Just remember what you said when you do post after post to me.

Don't you have any love interests, sassy? Any good museums over there? Concerts? Castles? Libraries? Anything to take your mind off of me?

I now know why these people take out restraining orders against stalkers like you.

Oh bless, what sad little man you are.   Just having coffee with OH, then I have a very full day planned, it's 7 in the morning over here, so time for a quick look while I'm drinking coffee before getting to it.   See that's your trouble, overestimating your importance.

Btw? I am not sure you can be "possessed" with somebody? Isn't it "obsessed"?

Just saying folks   

And....furthermore, I thought the plane might be in DG and still haven't ruled it out so ner-ner!

I think in this case it may be both.
As for the plane - still more questions than answers.

Fair point, eds. I looked it up:

Brians wrote:If you own a yacht, you’re possessed of it. If a demon takes over your body, you’re possessed by it. If that which possesses you is more metaphorical, like an executive determined to get ahead, he or she can be possessed by or with the desire to win.

Brians, Paul, Common Errors in English Usage

So I think the latter (in bold) most fits. The reference is to an obsession or something that consumes one.

Quill, you forgot to add information that you were quite happy to share in that you were a Rock 'n' Roll pilot flying a US military aircraft around most of Europe and some North African countries and the Baltic states entertaining US troops. Those one's in the Baltic states sure are strange given they weren't any there - at least none that we know about.
And also that you are an honorary member of Greenpeace, no doubt an honour bestowed on you for your outstanding contribution in saving the planet from the environmental disaster that lies ahead if we carry on in the way that we are at the moment.
And if you really are on the board of directors of the mukti-million dollar Golden Gate Bridge business don't you think you should attend the board of directors meetings?
