In a recent interview with German magazine Der Spiegel, Clark questioned the updated flight path analysis report published by the ATSB on Wednesday. He reportedly disagreed with the “so-called electronic satellite ‘handshake’” used by analysts to determine the probable crash site. He also reportedly failed to agree that the Beijing-bound Boeing 777, which disappeared on March 8 with 239 people on board, had flown on autopilot mode for about five hours and later crashed into the ocean after running out of fuel.

Emirates Airlines Sir Tim Clark said to German newspaper Der Spiegel he did not believe the flight was on autopilot when it disappeared, claiming: “MH370 was, in my opinion, under control, probably until the very end”.

Sir Tim added: “Our experience tells us that in water incidents, where the aircraft has gone down, there is always something.

“We have not seen a single thing that suggests categorically that this aircraft is where they say it is, apart from this so-called electronic satellite ‘handshake,’ which I question as well,” the airline boss said.

The airline boss also scotched suggestions for improved tracking equipment, saying the Boeing 777 model possessed one of the world’s most advanced communications platforms and claimed tracking devices should no longer be under the control of pilots – as they currently are.

“Disabling it [the tracker] is no simple thing and our pilots are not trained to do so. But on flight MH370, this thing was somehow disabled, to the degree that the ground tracking capability was eliminated.”

Sir Tim added: “We need to know who was on the plane in the detail that obviously some people do know. We need to know what was in the hold of the aircraft.”

Clark also reportedly urged that everyone should "continue to press all those who were involved in the analysis of what happened for more information.” According to Daily Mail, Clark added that the airline industry should not accept the disappearance of Flight MH370 as just an “unexplained mystery.”

The senior executive of the Dubai-based airline, which has more than 100 Boeing 777 aircraft in its fleet, reportedly said that he was “totally dissatisfied” with the lack of any physical evidence to prove that plane crashed in a remote region of the southern Indian Ocean, and urged investigators to examine details of the plane's flight data once again.

Also, They are giving people 50k(USD) for their loved ones.. An Australian woman has refused.

According to a report in ibtimes.com, Malaysian Airlines offered her $64,000 [Dh235,091] as compensation, which she has rejected.

Weeks, who lives in Australia with her two children, told ‘Perth Now’ that she received legal advice not to accept the money. Reportedly, she was offered the amount on the condition that she completes a detailed questionnaire, which she surmises “will go to their insurance company so the insurance company knows what they’re up for”.

SPIEGEL ONLINE: At what point on the presumed flight path of MH 370 do your doubts begin?

Clark: There hasn't been one overwater incident in the history of civil aviation -- apart from Amelia Earhart in 1939 -- that has not been at least 5 or 10 percent trackable. But MH 370 has simply disappeared. For me, that raises a degree of suspicion. I'm totally dissatisfied with what has been coming out of all of this.

 

[markot]

The search started so late, and no one is sure where it came down.... that kind of explains everything.

The 'crash area' is so big that its a needle in a hay stack in an ocean of hay stacks.

 

[commedieu]

The search started so late, and no one is sure where it came down.... that kind of explains everything.

The search has nothing to do with its tracking systems being disabled.

There is no crash area that is backed up by any of the flights data. Calling it the second aviation unsolved mystery since earhart isn't equating to "explains everything. "

 

[markot]

Except one of the pilots might have learnt to disable the tracking outside of their jerb.

The truth about twa 800 slowly surfaced after years. Hopefully it will be the same for this. But the official story doesn't bode with any reality. The families deserve better than the meandering contradicting tales of the officials vs the Plane Manufacturers who are wanting everything to be clear and transparent so a proper job can be done, which only provides for more saftey in the air. Rather than having to retract /change a story to fit a narrative.

I saw that they gave 50k per person after they sign some document for insurance reasons. 50k(USD) really seems low.

 

[KHarvey16]

First of all, what the heck does "...at least 5 or 10 percent trackable" even mean? And I think he needs to review the list provided here.

Also:

Clark: My recommendation to aircraft manufacturers that they find a way to make it impossible to disable ACARS from the flight deck. And the transponder as well. I'm still struggling to come up with a reason why a pilot should be able to put the transponder into standby or to switch it off. MH 370 was, in my opinion, under control, probably until the very end.

Maybe he should speak to one of his pilots who can tell him exactly why they might turn off the transponder. He could also speak to the manufacturers, who could explain to him that every piece of equipment that draws power on an aircraft needs to have some kind of switch or breaker in the event of a malfunction.

This is a CEO, not a pilot or an engineer. He's also not investigating the incident.

TWA800 crashed after a short circuit in the fuel tank blew it up.

Not according to the people responsible for the data the investigation used. Who were told to not analyze their findings, a first in plane investigations. Which all agreed was an explosion outside of the plane. Also, not according to the shattered wing, which had Trace amounts of nitrates melted into the wing, prior to the fuel tank explosion. Which was excluded. The nitrates needed further testing, as admitted by the original person who made the report for the wing, that could determine what type of explosive it was. The further testing was not done. Also, not according to the amount of electricity/wiring in the gas tank area, which wasn't capable of detonating the fuel.

Also, not according to physics. As a plane that loses its 9000lb nose, can no longer fly, and would either fall apart in the air, or drop to the ground like a rock. It wouldn't fly straight up, and it wouldn't fly straight and curve to the ground without lift. As the investigators have noted.

Its very well covered, by the people who investigated it. Who have all come forward to say that the FBI had personnel changing evidence, beating on parts of planes with hammers, and denying 200+ witness testimony. Testimony which is always used during investigations into any air incidents. Everyone also noted that multiple objects from the ground hit the plane. When the NTSB ran a test, to verify that people were confused by signal flares. Every single witness could verify a missile shot vs a firework. As its what they all reported to see.

Trace amounts, meaning nowhere near what would be present in an actual explosives detonation.

[commedieu]

Ridiculous. Data is routinely collected without being analyzed by those collecting it.

Contrary to NTSB regulations, Hughes, although a group chairman, was not allowed to write an analysis of what he found. The evidence his group gathered led him to much the same conclusion as the IAMAW’s. The pattern of seat damage and passenger injuries strongly suggested not a low-speed fuel tank explosion, as the NTSB would later insist, but “a high-order explosion from a military-type explosive detonating a significant distance away from the airframe.” Says Hughes, “This was the first time in my 26 years as an NTSB accident investigator that I had been ordered not to write an analysis.”

Hughes was not the only high-level investigator whose analysis was suppressed. As he notes, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Charles Wetli and the NTSB’s Aero-Medical Forensic Consultant, Col. Dennis Shanahan, M.D., were also told not to submit analyses of their findings.

--Trace amounts, meaning nowhere near what would be present in an actual explosives detonation.

I misspoke, it wasn't trace amounts.

A piece of the aircraft's center wing tank (labeled CW-504 during reconstruction) was sent to NASA for chemical analysis by the NTSB. On it was a strange residue in a "splatter" pattern. Test results[23] concluded the presence of nitrates in this residue, alarming NASA scientist Charles W. Bassett, as nitrates may indicate the presence of explosives. Ammonium-Nitrate (the explosive used in the Oklahoma City bomb), for example, is one of the many nitrate based explosives.

To chemists, nitrates are known as ‘anions,’ and when combined with ‘cations,’ the resultant molecule is explosive. If Ammonia (a cation) was detected in the splatter pattern, a strong case could be made for Ammonium-nitrate as the origin of the nitrates. Therefore, when investigators determine the presence of an anion, the next step is to look for a cation within the same material[24].

Bassett reported the nitrate (anion) presence in CW-504 to Dr. Merrit Birky and concluded in report 97-1C0063[23]:

"An attempt to determine the origin of the anions present in both samples was not conducted at this time but is of concern and is under further investigation."

However, instead of requesting that Bassett determine the nitrate's possible explosive identity, Birky sent other aircraft parts for testing which lacked the questionable residue. No further testing of CW-504 was requested, the source of the nitrates was not determined, and Bassett's report, quoted above, was never released to the public.

-- Lol, according to who?

You can't have lift on a plane when 9000lbs falls off. A plane is balanced with fuel/passengers/cargo to maintain lift. Without a nose, and a shattered wing prior to the fuel tank exploding, it can't fly straight up. So, you could say according to lift and physics. Which is why the NTSB had to correct the CIA's video of how it happened to be more belivable, but still impossible. And the NTSB nor the CIA has ever provided the data they've used to create their recreations.

----All came forward? Everyone investigating it?

Oop forgot, Kharvey.. No, not literally everyone.

People including:

Former senior accident investigator with the NTSB Hank Hughes.

There was no missile that night, and we know that with absolute certainty.

in the days following, nearly 100 of more than 700 eyewitnesses interviewed by the FBI described seeing a streak of light move from the Earth leading to an explosion, which seemed to suggest a missile had struck the Boeing 747.

Initially, law enforcement officials also strongly believed a criminal act - either a bomb or a missile - was the likeliest explanation for the catastrophic explosion, which severed the plane's front end, including the cockpit, from the rest of the fuselage.

I have literally never heard any of this information before. What's the source of all of this?

Senior accident investigators of TWA800;

Hank was assigned to the NTSB’s go-team for the TWA 800 crash, he was responsible for drawing up the grid for the aircraft reconstruction of TWA 800 and was in charge of reconstructing the entire interior of the aircraft. The NTSB gave Hughes an Outstanding Service award for his work on the TWA 800 investigation, which is the highest award they give.

Bob Young was TWA’s chief investigator on the TWA crash.

Dr. Charles Wetli, Suffolk County Medical examiner in charge of all victim autopsies, NTSB senior medical forensic consultant Col. Dennis Shanahan, MD, and Air Line Pilots Association investigator Jim Speer who located and oversaw the testing of the first piece of debris that tested positive for explosives.

And witness/law enforcement testimony of what happened. All 200+ of them.

I guess some people can't go to their graves with this in their mind.

Really good doc on netflix, and a constant fact check running by the people involved on their site. Has all the testimony, has people explaining how the FBI threatened them into silence.. etc..etc... TWA800(netflix)

[commedieu]

Nope, didn't say those are my only sources. The information is from the investigators They are the source, if you care to look into it yourself: http://flight800doc.com/fact-checking/ you can see that they update their fact checking/dismissals/confusion generally promoted by the links you just googled, once. Which all require you to do a little extra googling, but, its there. It seems the general thing to do is misrepresent what the doc is saying, and attack that. Which is why I like the fact check site that just sticks to exactly what is being said, and what is not being said.

There is no physical evidence that links twa800 to a fuel tank explosion, as admitted to by the NTSB and the FBI. Even less so with the wing exploding first, with a nitrate laced spray pattern which did not go for further testing, as the person who initially sent it to be tested at nasa (When he had the equipment right there), admitted it needed further testing. But that was in 2010, after the fact.

Don't want to derail, but you have to take it up with the People picked to be part of the NTSB's "GO-Team" as referenced by wikipedia. Who have come forward to explain how the investigation was affected by others. But, no.. theres nothing shut about twa800, and information continues to trickle in.

 

[Tadaima]

Read the rest of my post in which I explain exactly how and why he is ignorant next time.

I read it, but you're not giving him enough credit.

He started his career as a route planner. The company he built from almost nothing now hires every type of person an airline could need, and he is clearly very passionate about moving aviation tech forward (he pushed for the 777X, for instance). His position requires him to speak to those who have a much deeper understanding of specifics – if not the engineers and pilots themselves – on a very regular basis.

He's not just a talking head – he's a passionate, well-connected, and intelligent individual who has earned his stripes and evidently brought a lot to the industry.

 

[KHarvey16]

Aircraft Wreckage Consistent with Center Fuel Tank Explosion

The film ignores significant physical evidence that the center fuel tank exploded. More specifically, the evidence indicates that the fuel tank over-pressurized, tore apart significant wing structure and ejected pieces from inside the fuel tank. Those inner fuel tank pieces were found in the “red” debris field – that is the debris field closest to JFK, where the aircraft took off, indicating that the fuel tank pieces were among the first pieces to leave the aircraft. The aircraft fuel tank and surrounding floor and ceiling debris show metal pieces bowed consistent with extreme pressure from inside the fuel tank.

An NTSB investigator wrote that. Explain.

I'm inclined to believe the CEO at this point in time. Broad sweeps of wide stretches of the ocean and not a single sign of debris. It could have crashed somewhere else entirely.

 

[commedieu]

An NTSB investigator wrote that. Explain.

NTSB investigator Henry Hughes and five members of the original Flight 800 investigations are offering theories that question the NTSB’s findings, CBS 2’s Marcia Kramer reported. “Test results were changed by the FBI lab and in some cases the NTSB changed some evidence tags,” Hughes said. “I believe it’s highly probable it was a missile. Whether it was a friendly missile by mistake or a terrorist missile, I don’t know.”

An NTSB investigator wrote that, and has sworn under oath saying as much.

I'm inclined to believe the CEO at this point in time. Broad sweeps of wide stretches of the ocean and not a single sign of debris. It could have crashed somewhere else entirely.

Well, the CEO is right due to his background and education/experience to at least discuss the subject. Mistakes could be made by investigators.. which is why he is calling it out for what it definitely seems to be. Not all things are being delivered to those investigating/trying to find the flight.

 

[KHarvey16]

An NTSB investigator wrote that, and has sworn under oath saying as much.

You stated there was no physical evidence and the NTSB admitted that. Please reconcile that with an NTSB member stating otherwise (and the 400 page report doing the same).

And I told you how he was wrong.

No you didn't, you just discounted his abundance of points with "This is a CEO, not a pilot or an engineer. He's also not investigating the incident."

You're neither a CEO, nor a pilot or engineer. So I guess we should also discount every last word of yours?

The reason he's in the news and you're not is because when he speaks, he speaks with experience and credibility.

You stated there was no physical evidence and the NTSB admitted that. Please reconcile that with an NTSB member stating otherwise (and the 400 page report doing the same).

The evidence has been tampered with as witnessed by the investigators. More importantly, the colored zones that are the root of that post. The official report of the NTSB/FBI has no physical evidence. This is a person saying "Well there could be if you look at it in one way assuming the evidence im looking at hasn't been tampered with." The analysis that these investigators have made, is that the explosion started from outside of the plane. The film also shows testimony from the NTSB/FBI saying they literally don't have the physical evidence of any wiring malfunction, or much else. To the dismay of the families at the final results hearing. Can only find the full 4 hour cspan videos online.

ah found the 9000lb nose falling:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V0h3hXvZ7Cc Theres an updated interview in the doc, but not much is on youtube. Captain H. Ray Lahr (Ret) Air crash investigator

And ultimately, the point being made is that with time. We will more than likely get better information about MH370, like with TWA800. Not trying to derail it with this whole thing.

I told you exactly how he was wrong. Planes have gone missing at sea in the past. Pilots do in fact sometimes need to turn off the transponder, which is something he could learn by talking to his pilots. He is ignorant of this fact. Equipment on the airplane also needs to have a switch or a breaker because malfunctions can make it necessary to turn them off to protect the rest of the airplane.

That latter one I know because I am an avionics design engineer.

 

[To Far Away Times]

I thought it was pretty well known that TWA flight 800 was shot down. Weren't there a bunch of witnesses?

 

[Tadaima]

I told you exactly how he was wrong. Planes have gone missing at sea in the past.

This was an aside to his point. And you don't even understand what he's talking about – you answered it with "what the heck does it even mean?" Hardly a good start.

Pilots do in fact sometimes need to turn off the transponder, which is something he could learn by talking to his pilots. He is ignorant of this fact.

Where does he imply ignorance of that fact? He simply says his company does not train his pilots to disable the tracker.

Equipment on the airplane also needs to have a switch or a breaker because malfunctions can make it necessary to turn them off to protect the rest of the airplane.

Not sure what your point here has to do with anything he brought up?

Anyway, you failed at demonstrating how he is "wrong" outside of being a CEO of a massive airline company and not a pilot nor engineer. But really, there isn't much he can be proved wrong about in that interview anyway since most of what he said is either an opinion, independent research, a question, or a concern and his mission seems to be simply to raise awareness of an issue he finds important.

Thats why I don't see it for a reason to question his credibility, and its not as if he is speaking hysterical nonsense. Its in the interest of his industry, sure. But its saftey as well. I like that he has the opinion that we can't allow this 777 to just disappear. I mean, it would be beneficial for everyone to know what happened.

I thought it was pretty well known that TWA flight 800 was shot down. Weren't there a bunch of witnesses?

A lot of them, yep. Netflix has the doc still. Investigators of TWA800 have come forward.

 

[KHarvey16]

This was an aside to his point. And you don't even understand what he's talking about – you answered it with "what the heck does it even mean?" Hardly a good start.

He doesn't offer any explanation for what he means. We have multiple examples of planes disappearing over water like MH370, so his statement is wrong in more than one way.

Where does he imply ignorance of that fact? He simply says his company does not train his pilots to disable the tracker.

Not sure what your point here has to do with anything he brought up?

I quoted the part I was talking about.

I'm still struggling to come up with a reason why a pilot should be able to put the transponder into standby or to switch it off.

Technically they are arguing that three things were shot in the air but only one had to be a proximity fuse missle...... Lol. But all three could have been proximity fuse missled also. But we really don't know since there isn't any evidence.


Unfortunately MH370 is going to end up just like TWA 800 and is going to be ripe with conspiracy theories.
