Disappearance of MAS Flight MH370 - An Isolated Case?

 

The deficient quality of the top leadership of Malaysia civil service has been glaringly exposed to the whole world through the unfortunate incident of the disappearance of MAS flight MH370. After 50 years of a blotched education policy, we now have a generation who can hardly speak and convey message to the world audience. Sadly, we have come to a phase of the blind leading the blind.

 

In the latest missing flight saga, we have read of one Malaysian senior official who said something like ".......we have carried out an expensive exercise" in one of the news briefings followed quickly by a correction of "..............we have carried out an extensive exercise".

Now, the government mouth piece is using the often-quoted words of "The missing MH370 flight is an isolated incident" to defend the handling of the case by their master.

 

The phrase "This is an isolated incident" is one of the many favoured statements used by either the government politicians or their mouth piece to defend their master. The sad thing is that even after two foreigners managed to enter the plane using stolen passports without being detected, they still insisted that their personnel had followed the standard operating procedures (SOP)!

When a group of Filipino armed rebels from Tawi-Tawi in southern Philippines entered Felda Sahabat 17, Kampung Tanduo in Lahad Datu in February 2013, certain official of the Malaysian security department used the "This is an isolated incident" to defend the handling of the case by Malaysian government.

When armed men made their way to a resort in Pulau Pom Pom in Semporna and shot dead a Taiwanese tourist before kidnapping his wife in November 2013, the phrase "This is an isolated incident" was again heard.

This is undeniably a phrase that was used more than it should be used. But then, we are famous for using ambiguous terms to defend what otherwise is an obvious case of deficient and inefficient governance Read Here.

One wonders whether we need ten more MAS planes to disappear before the authorities deemed serious enough to take pre-emptive actions?

Closure of the Tragedy of Flight MH370 ?

 

The mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines MH 370 from KL to Beijing on 8 March 2014 has propelled Malaysia to an unprecedented world attention. The purported twists and turns of the plane after the shut down of the transponder at 01:19am were puzzling and have generated all sorts of conspiracy theories. Whether by divine intervention or mere imagination, I had a most unusual dream last night. Here is the dream........

 

 

The pilot Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah was known to be an avid flyer and had set up a flight simulator to hone his flying skill. It was said that if he was not flying Boeing 777, he would be flying toy plane or playing with other remote control aircraft. With some of the information gleaned in the flight simulation, he was keen to try out the capability of Boeing 777 beyond its permitted limit, i.e to check its performance at an altitude of 45,000 ft.

 

Not long after the plane took off at 00:41am, he broached the idea of testing the plane's capability to his co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid. The co-pilot initially objected but was convinced by his senior to give it a trial. After all,  the co-pilot was no match to his senior who had 18,365 flight hours experience compared to his of only 2,700 flight hours. They reckoned that the best time to do the maneuver was at the transition when air traffic control was shifted from Malaysia to Vietnam.

 

It started with switching off the ACARS system at 01:07am, Just before setting the trial in motion, the co-pilot said "All right, good night" at 01:19am to assure all those manning the air traffic control everything was in order. At 01:21, the transponder was switched off so that the "unusual movement" could not be monitored. After some re-programming, the plane changed course and climbed to 45,000 ft from 35,000 ft. Suddenly at this height, something unexpected happened, the depressurization at the passenger section caused practically instant death to everyone there due to asphyxiation. It was so sudden that none of the passengers had the time to make any call via their hand phones. Realizing the problem in hand, the pilot made an instant rapid descend hoping that the disaster could be averted. Unfortunately, it was too late.

 

By then the plane was at 23,000 ft, the pilot and co-pilot were in a state of shock. After some discussion, they decided to return to KLIA. But then immediately, they aborted this plan because they just could not bear to see the consequences of landing a plane carrying two hundred plus of dead bodies. That would be catastrophic to both the Malaysia Airlines and the Malaysia government.They knew that their own lives would be finished.

 

Confused and without a way out, they decided to fly the plane to the deep Indian Ocean. When the fuel was all used up, the pilot then guided the plane slowly down onto the ocean with minimum damage. The pilot then opened the cockpit door, water came in and filled up the compartment and the plane sank slowly to the bottom of the ocean. It was their way of concealing the truth so that this accidental mass murder would never be known...........

This afternoon, the breaking news was that credible debris at the Indian Ocean approx. 1,400 miles west of Perth have been sighted by the satellites.

It is my hope that my dream was not the actual case related to the disappearance of the plane. This theory in my dream hopefully may be a good Hollywood material and one day become a box office success!
