The announcement earlier made by Prime
Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak on March 17, 2014 that flight MH370
ended in the southern of Indian Ocean is now almost completed in its
search and investigations with 99% meet the expectations.
Since its disappearance two years ago,
one thing that is certain is that our government’s commitment to
continue the search for evidence despite too theory were submitted.
These theories has lead to massive operations involving 26 countries
and covering a search and rescue (SAR) area of 2.24 million nautical
miles has finally received assurance that MH370 had crashed in a more
focused area in the Indian Ocean.
The SAR operations concentrated in the
Indian Ocean has yielded the first confirmed MH370 wreckage found in the
France Reunion Island within the Indian Ocean in July of last year.
And now the second evidence found landed
in Mozambique shore was confirmed by Australian authorities on 23
March. The second proof of the verification process was conducted by the
Malaysian team together with seven accreditated experts from different
countries. They confirmed that the fragments received are from Boeing
777 flight and matched MH370 colors.
Meanwhile the third discovery was found
stranded on the South Africa coast. Investigators are still waiting for
approvals from the South Africa authorities to allow these debris to be
brought to Australia for further study and thus confirming them.
In his recent statement, Transport
Minister Datuk Liow Tiong Lai believes that MH370 search which focused
in the Indian Ocean acrea that was annouced earlier by PM Najib Razak
which is based on a flight path in the vicinity of 120 square
kilometers, is accurate.
Hence Datuk Liow felt that there is a
need to send a team to continue the search within the Mozambique island
and South Africa shores too. For now the search area will be more
focused in order to complete the quest when all responsible parties
still remains hopeful that MH370 will be found since there are still an
area of 10,000 square feet unexplored.
Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur
International Airport (KLIA) at 12:41 local time on March 8, 2014, with
227 passengers, ten crew members, two pilots and cargo weighing about 14
tonnes. Journey to the International Airport Beijing should take
approximately 5 hours 34 minutes.
The Boeing 777 was last contacted
through automated transmission system at 1.07 am, flown by captain
Zaharie Ahmad Shah, has spoken to Malaysia air traffic control 12
minutes later handed over to Vietnam control. Zaharie last word was,
“Good night Malaysian three seven zero … "
What mysteriously happened next was at
1.21am, halfway over the Gulf of Thailand, the plane disappeared from
civilian radar, suggesting its transponder stopped functioning or had
been turned off but it could still be seen on military radar. Suddenly
it has diverted its flight path and headed back from where it came
before heading west when it was detected by military radar in Penang at
1:40.
Notwithstanding the theories raised
either from the social media or even from the aviation experts, no
question about the investigation team and in particular the Malaysian
government unwavering commitments are at their best to determine the
real occurance on the disappearance of flight MH370.
The fate of the plane, its passengers and crew shall not remain one of aviation’s biggest unsolved mystery anymore.
