Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370: Government finally releases 47 pages of 'missing' satellite data as requested by families

First topic message reminder :



The Malaysian government has finally released the satellite data it used to track the last movements of the missing flight MH370, more than two months after they were requested by families seeking greater transparency.

The report, produced jointly with the British satellite firm Inmarsat, runs to 47 pages and includes details on the hourly “handshakes” made after the aircraft disappeared from civilian radar on 8 March.

The relatives of those who were on board the Boeing 777 when it vanished said they hope opening up the data to analysis from experts around the world will help verify the search area currently defined off the coast of Australia.

But following repeated accusations that the Malaysian government has kept them in the dark throughout the investigation, one family said they still feel some data has been withheld.

Sarah Bajc, the American partner of passenger Phil Wood, said: “When we first asked for the data it was more than two months ago. I never dreamed it would be such an obstacle to overcome."

She said the report released on today had gaps where information had been removed “to improve readability”, and that there was no sign of comparable records from previous flights on MH370's route that the families had requested.

   Never mind. That's another one off our Christmas card list. Way we're going we'll be able to share a pack of 6

Well, if it is a conspiracy...we seem to have done exactly what the bad guys want...gone to sleep on the matter. This proves that if you've got enough money, and control the powers that be, you can make any hot issue go away.

This thing reads like an episode of The Borne Legacy...the unfolding plot is not out there, but in here. You can't even allege a conspiracy if you don't know what you are conspiring over.

People say you can't cover up big things. Pfffft... That's a clear violation of the first rule of chaos theory: big consequences can have small beginnings. Wings of a butterfly, and such. You not only can cover up big things, but you can sometimes do so with minimal effort.

Like here, they have only to rely on a long-standing rule of human nature: people will lose interest. Let time be your ally, I have always said. Invest in the long term. You don't accomplish great things by stellar feats...you bore them to death. Foment disinterest...it's the best way to bury something or someone.

We need to begin with what, before we tackle where. But--again with the analogy to Jason Borne--we don't even know what's going on. Nobody seems to know what Outcome is, or who or what is the National Research Assay Group.

Good post Quill.
Like most things of this nature, it'll just disappear and people will hopefully not care about it anymore.

I know. Foment disinterest...it's the worst thing you can do to someone or something. Violence...pfffft. Pain...nothing. But disinterest...it's not survivable.

And so it goes...

You're absolutely spot on!
Disinterest is a killer.
