coal's for transparency over the missing Malaysian jetliner have come from all over but the investigation has only grown foggier and while many are asking how did it happen and who's responsible the more urgent question is where is the plane and its passengers Adrian our snow now on the mysterious case of flight mh370 March 7 thanks to an early morning rain the steamy heat of kuala lumpur was a little less oppressive it was a hazy 31 degrees a new city for 50 year old American Phillip wood about to begin a new life with his girlfriend he'd bought a last-minute ticket to go help her pack up their place in Beijing busy man but a bit confused that day he thought the flight was the next night at home in Beijing and excited Sarab ajik caught the mistake and set her boyfriend straight so he texted her Wow crazy so busy didn't even realize tonight would have missed my flight go rush love he did as you do [Music] plans were shifting to for a group of 24 Chinese artists who'd been in Kuala Lumpur for days promoting relations between the two countries they've been stuck inside at their exhibit in this hall but the break in heat sent them all outside for a last-minute tour and for this a huge celebratory lunch Duck Soup steamed fish braised pork hi everyone ah this is a YouTube video me it was it's also believed a day of much rushing for zaharie Ahmed Shah this video is to be used MH 370's deeply experienced pilot the man who built his own flight simulator who fancied himself a home repairs expert and teacher this is a cheapest solution also a supporter of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim Shah is thought to have attended Ibrahim skort hearing that day at which the leader was sent back to jail for sodomy that can't have made him happy but ever the professional he knew he had a flight was to be joined by a young skilled but less experienced co-pilot Fariq AB Hamid they didn't work together much hadn't asked to be put together but they were a team that night there in the security check at the Kuala Lumpur Airport can't read much of anything into this it is a spectacular airport huge high-tech pretty if that's possible the artist had driven there especially early were on their way to it by 8:00 p.m. this is the last photo of the group just standing around waiting to go home time to spare the hurried Phillip would probably wasn't as organized but back in her Beijing neighborhood his girlfriend was on a schedule at 8:05 p.m. from home she updates him all prepped except my clothes kitchen bar knickknacks set out cleaned ready to pack he may have been on route to the airport when he responded I'm ready to be there to help understand tomorrow I'll rub your back thank you for working so hard you're greatly appreciated and loved then around midnight as Phillip would would have been settling into a seat she answers thank you baby that is the last communication we know of to or from any of the passengers the plane 239 souls on board but hardly full three dozen empty seats including some belonging to those who missed their flight at 12:41 a.m. six minutes late on that heavy now humid night mh370 took off for Beijing should have been so routine there 59 flights a week from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing just as many coming back a busy typical flight path but what was about to happen to Malaysian Airlines at night is what's known in the world of crisis management as a Black Swan event completely unpredictable a huge impact and a shock that's hard to recover from if you don't handle it well well all this time later among the few details that are clear is that the handling of the disappearance of mh370 has not gone well family is waiting in both Beijing and Kuala Lumpur want clarity say they've been getting only confusion from the outset Malaysian authorities were slow to respond it was the Chinese from first started talking publicly today's all China well the daughter you got free time agree you need the shows they actually announced to disappear when Malaysian authorities finally stepped to the microphones early statements were bizarre there has been speculations that the aircraft has landed a night and we are looking to very fine intensity of the new home and other side and consider this description of the passengers using stolen transporters it is confirmed now that they are not ancient-looking me do you know a baller by the name of attorney is in the tender we do know how it looks like Olli Olli Vitaly bonatelli Balotelli this is Mario Balotelli and these are the passengers in question what was he talking about suggesting they look alike another misleading moment more has been misleading than has been clear and as far as we are concerned we are equally puzzle as well agreed-upon timelines for the first hour and a half hour Finn and have taken these eleven days to cobble together with leaks and sparse confirmations here goes 1:07 a.m. the transponder sends back an automated message saying all's okay 119 a.m. the copilot signs off with all right good night leaving Malaysian airspace 1:21 a.m. the transponder stops working we now know that at 1:28 a.m. Thai radar saw an unidentified blip along an unexpected westward track but did nothing about it it took 11 days for that news to emerge around the same time of morning Vietnamese Civil Aviation see what they think was mh370 heading westward twice they contact the Malaysians it takes days to hear anything back 2:15 a.m. Malaysian military radar spots an unidentified blip here at pulau prac in the Strait of Malacca again this took days to learn so much wasted time yes families threw water bottles at Malaysian officials they've talked of suing of going on hunger strikes and every waking moment they wonder the world is running scenarios here's one if this was a plane in trouble sort of smoke in the cockpit trouble where could a pilot go all are trained to know their exit routes here's a compilation of options that night some 634 runways with roughly 1500 meters of landing strip what a triple seven would need problem is start eliminating some for distance and difficulty say mountains in the way an option shrink a theory of a Canadian pilot points right here to an airstrip on Pulau Langkawi on the west coast of Malaysia it's where he says his gut tells him good pilots would go it's also directly in line with the planes strange westward turn Chris Goodfellow accurately described it as a 3,900 metre landing strip with an approach over water at night no obstacles [Music] simple so smart but the nearby waters have been reportedly searched nothing seems the plane just kept going where to and why and how would we know ground and air raid are our key watch this first a map of the known civilian radar zones with a plane first went missing and then military radar take over these are what we believe to be the region's capabilities it's vague because there are countries that want to keep secret military assets and information secret the public may not be told what they have or saw and yes count that is a frustration for Malaysian officials I can confirm that we have received some radar data but we are not at liberty to release information from other countries I appeal to all our partners to continue volunteering any of and all information that could help us with with the investigation and the search for mh370 the Indians by the way have said they didn't see anything and add that they may have turned off the radar in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands that weekend because they didn't think they'd need them and no nation saw fit to scramble jets to intercept the plane that supposed unidentified blip at least a few saw Messi this matter of a missing plane especially in a region that is a geopolitical possible eleven days in a search zone almost as big as Canada 26 countries now part of the hunt because they have to be because the last source of information on the plane is disturbingly vague the view from space that's where the information is coming from not the space station which took these images of the area a few months ago but from a single satellite and Inmarsat satellite to geostationary one 36,000 kilometers up somehow for several hours it recorded a type of handshake from mh370 and it knows it's that plane apparently because every handshake is unique based on the angle of the signal and the distance from the earth Inmarsat believe the plane must have traveled along one of two specific lines so evident on a map so horrifyingly fast and vague back on earth you know yeah you're always tricking us lying to us the other families can you blame them for thinking that can you blame them either for deep down believing that every moment every resource is scouring the planet well it's true some nations are working exhaustively to search there are also scenes like this as you can see the all of these aircraft are sitting on the ground a tarmac in Kuala Lumpur and all those expensive sophisticated search planes just sat there for part of this week as the government of Indonesia had not yet issued permission to fly over its territory and for their part the Indians the Thais the Japanese and the Indonesian ships an aircraft were idle all yesterday the delay waiting for clear instructions from Malaysia all is hazy is a Beijing warning it's dawn when the Malaysian Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur is scheduled to land there every day even that early the airport is full was full on Saturday March the 8th families waiting for mh370 they still wait and really they don't know much more than they did that first awful morning Adrienne Arsenal CBC News Toronto
