All the postulations on the missing MH370 seems to be taking a shocking new course now.

The latest footage of the disappeared Malaysian Airlines pilots being frisked by security for the last time before take off reveals that the last words from the flight were spoken after the plane had gone missing for half an hour. This indicated that the plane's communications systems — the Aircraft and Communications Addressing and Reporting System, or ACARS — was deliberately disabled by someone who knew the controls well. Also, the fact that they went dark separately is strong evidence that the plane's disappearance was
deliberate.

What's further suspicious is that someone in the cockpit spoke to air traffic controllers for the final time, saying: ‘All right. Good night’ instead of the usual sign-off ‘Roger and out'. Also, whoever was talking did not mention a problem with the flight, suggesting an attempt was made to mislead ground control.

 

Around 14 minutes later the transponder – which sends out an identifying signal – was switched off and shortly afterwards the aircraft turned sharply to head back across the Malaysian peninsula.

Although the last words from the aircraft barely indicated a state of terror or panic inside the aircraft, it's surprising how the communication system was disabled prior to take off, adding to suspicions that one of the pilots could be involved in the skyjack.

The CCTV shows the pilots of the Boeing 777 flight Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah and co-pilot Fariq Hamid being frisked at the Kuala Lumpar International Airport.

Shah, a father-of-three, 'is said to be a 'fanatical' supporter of the country's opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, who was imprisoned on accounts of homosexuality hours before the jet disappeared. It is also also revealed that the pilot's wife and three children moved out of the family home the day before the plane went missing.

FBI investigators are deeming the disappearance of MH370 as ‘an act of piracy’ and assuming that hundreds of passengers are being held at an unknown location.

 

The authorities are thoroughly investigating the backgrounds of all the 239 passengers on board, the pilots as well as the ground crew that serviced the plane. A flight simulator was discovered from the home of one of the pilots.

The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 took off from Kuala Lumpur at around 12.40am on March 8 for Beijing. On Saturday, Malaysia's government confirmed that the plane was deliberately diverted and may have flown into Central Asia, or south into the vast reaches of the Indian Ocean.
