spots a blip on its radar. its speed and flight path erratic. they don t yet know it is mh370. if you see a primary, unidentified return flying towards your country at 500-plus knots, that should raise concerns very quickly. but it didn t seem to. by now, the triple-7 is believed to be hundreds of miles off its original course. we don t know what s normal for their military, and i think that a big part of the problem with this investigation is that the malaysians were very tight-lipped about what they had, what they knew, and when they knew it. the malaysian air force continued to track the plane for an hour until it disappeared from radar. they never tell anyone with civilian authority. governments don t want to talk about this. they don t want to talk about holes in their radar system, a

as soon as possible. anything more than two, three minutes is abnormal. 1:27 a.m., the control center tries to reach the aircraft. they tried the radio. tried to see if mh 370 would answer. the airports tried to reach mh 370 as well, with no success. with no response, an air traffic controller calls malays malaysia airlines for help. they tells air traffic control a completely different story. they say mh 370 hasn t vanished at all.
