#PrayForMH370

Sunday 23 March 2014


It's more than a week the Malaysia Airlines aircraft MH370 has been lost. Various theories ranging from piracy, terrorist attacks and others were crowded discussed by the experts. The houses of the pilot and co-pilot had been searched. Relationship to any terrorists, background and possible motives by passengers have been investigated. But until now, we haven't hear any certainty of the state of passengers. Their family and also us are waiting their coming home or at least the solid and right information about where they are, how about their condition. May Allah gives the best help for all of us.

From some sources, this is the chronology for MH370 incident:
  • Flight Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, and co-pilot, Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27, flew the aircraft containing 227 passengers and 12 crew.
  • Of the 227 passengers: two Iranians using fake passports belonging from Austria and Italy.
  • Police and Interpol identified: Iranian men as Pouria Mehrdad Mohammad Nour, 19, and Delavar Syed Mohammad Reza, 29, each using Austrian and Italian passport, which was reported stolen in Thailand, a few years ago.
  • Khalid, an Inspector General of Police said Pouria Nour and Syed Delavar believed enroute to Germany to seek asylum, and is not associated with terror groups.
  • Passenger Manifest of MAS is as follows: Malaysia (38), China (152), Indonesia (7), Australia (seven), French (4), United (3), New Zealand (2), Ukraine (2), Canada (2), Russia (1), Italy (1), Taiwan (1), Netherlands (1), and Austria (1).
  • MH370 was scheduled to leave at 00:41 and arrive in Beijing at 06:30 on the same day.
  • At 01:07, according to Ahmad Jauhari, MAS Group Chief Executive Officer, is the transmitted aircraft's last transmission from ACARs–aircraft communications, addressing and reporting system.
  • At 1:19, he said the co-pilot sent a radio message and say, "All right, good night."
  • Two minutes later, the transponder, the device identifying jets for control for the land, turned off.
  • Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the ACARs deactivated action occured just before the aircraft reaches the east coast of Malaysia Peninsula.
  • Shortly after that, he said, near the border between air traffic control of Malaysia and Vietnam, the aircraft's transponder was turned off.
  • This flight was reported off of the radar at 01:30. 
  • Najib said that from this point onward, the primary radar of Royal Malaysian Air Force shows a aircraft, but it is not confirmed that it is done by MH370.
  • It then flew back to the west over the Malaysia Peninsula before turning to the northwest.


And yesterday, the Australian government declared the discovery of the possibility for two objects belonging to MH370 but Australia also explained there is still a possibility that those objects didn't relate to the missing aircraft. The two objects are estimated to be in the Indian Ocean seen through satellite imagery.

So many theories we can watch from Television or any newspaper medias but, a veteran pilot, Chris Goodfellow as reported by news.com.au, Wednesday (03/19/2014) has different beliefs about what happened to the plane MH370. Even some refer to this theory as the most plausible. You can read his full explanation on his Google+ account Chris Goodfellow, shortly:

According to the Canadian pilot, MAS aircraft may be a victim of a fire, not piracy. He said the movement of the aircraft suddenly banked to the left is the key evidence. 
We pilots are trained to know what the closest airport while airborne. When I saw the left turn, my instinct told him leads to an airport.
Chris explained, shortly after takeoff, smoke began to fill the cockpit of aircraft MH370. This smoke can come from fires on the front landing gear during takeoff appeared. The pilot was soon doing exactly that has been learned in training: find the nearest airport and spun toward it so that aircraft could be landed. The nearest airport at that time is on  Langkawi Island, Malaysia. The pilot programmed the destination in the flight computer. The auto-pilot program then made ​​a U-turn to westward to lead directly to Langkawi Island.

Meanwhile, the pilot and co-pilot tried to find the source of the smoke and fire, but then smoke was more fulfilling the cockpit, perhaps even the growing fire. This situation could turn off one by one aircraft systems, including transponder. The pilot and co-pilot passed out or even died. Because there was no auto-pilot that instructed to land, the aircraft continued to fly in the direction of the last programmed: over Langkawi Island and continued to the Indian Ocean. Until finally, 6 or 7 hours later, the plane was out of fuel and crashed. Source.
We'll find along this route - look for it elsewhere is futile. --Goodfellow
Whatever it is. I hope the passengers' families are always be patient and never give up to hope and pray.
