it is due to transmit again it is due to transmit again and never does. 1:19 a.m., someone believed to be the copilot provides the last verbal communication with air traffic controllers. his last words, all right. good night. it s a common goodbye to controllers after being handed off. at 1:21 a.m., the transponder that identifies the plane to civilian radar goes off. critical information like the plane s flight number, height, speed, and heading are all cutoff. this happens at the same time the plane is supposed to check in with air traffic control in vietnam. 1:30 a.m., all civilian radars lose contact with the plane. it appears to go through erratic changes as high as 45,000 feet above the approved altitude. 2:15 a.m., malaysian military
when we don t know where it was when the last ping was lot of. it could have veered off from that path or much earlier. we don t know or yet it could have gone towards the south. bottom line is what we have is this plane, this huge plane, 200 feet from one side to the other. this plane managed to make all this movement to go in all these places allegedly if it went that way and the satellite direction is right with no radar picking it up and no people seeing it and nobody seeing it since. that s why this remains so mysterio mysterious. it would be easy if it s a mechanical failure and it went down in the ocean. it is tragic, but we understand it. what s strange is to say it doesn t seem to have gone down in that spot. all that comes afterwards, an unbelievably vast search area that seems to be getting bigger and bigger the more we look. it s the no the 20 million
radar locations and you can determine where are the radar blind spots. the type of thing that americans did i believe it is within their capabilities to pick a route not easily detectible by radar. that s interesting what you are saying. if it was terrorism, why wouldn t somebody come forward and say yes, we did this. we pulled this off. that s a good question. the answer is probably because it doesn t suit their purpose at this point. they are not trying to intimidate. other people floated the idea that perhaps the aircraft was taken for another purpose. terrorism is a scenario and because we haven t heard from any of the passengers when they land, much of the world is covered by cell phone towers. you would hope they would be able to get a cell phone
now why is that important? it just so happens to contradict a government assertion made only yesterday. and it s important, because if the pilots had said that a normal good night actually happened after the acars was switched off, it could suggest they had a deliberate role whatever happened to that aircraft. in either case, the u.s. official says the jet climbed to 45,000 feet after ground controllers lost contact. and then it dropped to 23,000 feet before climbing yet again. and as i mentioned, vast. just look at this. satellite pings that went on for almost six hours after the plane flew out of range of malaysian military radar. it shows it followed one of two enormous arcs to the north as far as kazakhstan or to the south to the southern indian ocean. t the satellite station over the middle of the ocean can only
potentially would have to fly over major nations which obviously have detecting capabilities of the plane and do you think they want to admit the sophistication they have? government is not telling us everything they know. it s definitely happening in the case of the malaysians who at this point the best option for them is they are running an active campaign because the alternative is they are so incompetent that people would be scared to fly out for sometime. as for the radar picture, some of the countries being float as possibilities for the airspace, this plane might have entered are beyond the pale. they would have gotten picked up. this was a big bus in the sky and a lot harder to get under the radar. really while the search extended to the vast area stretching all the way up into the stands and down into the southwest of the
