The Malaysians shouldn't admit liability until all these Chinks on board have been thoroughly checked and a determination be made on whether and if so, how much money each Chink lost in the casinos in Malaysia.

Knowing Chinks very well, their singular obsession with money, gambling and their habit of committing suicide when they lose money in casinos, there is a strong likelihood that this is what happened.

A Chink or a few of these Chinks lost all their savings and incurred further debt whilst gambling in the Malaysian casinos. They then decided to do the usual when Chinks lose money in casinos, i.e. commit suicide.

There's a plus side to this mode of suicide for these Chinks, an opportunity to make large sums of money. It's killing two birds with one stone; do the usual suicide because they lost money whilst gambling and on the plus side, win large sums of money through these suicides. With the wealth of experience these Chinks have in stealing cutlery, causing disturbance and fighting when traveling in planes, these Chinks stole whatever they could from the galley and started a commotion to distract the crew. In the midst of the commotion, these Chinks made their way to the cockpit, held knives to the pilots' neck, forced them to fly in an opposite route before finally crashing the plane.

These Chinks finally find nirvana in death. They have got the money they have yearned for throughout their money-obsessed lives.

So it's not the terrorist angle that investigators should just be looking at. When it comes to investigations involving money-faced and money-obsessed Chinks, think money. The puzzle before you will then start unraveling.

Re: MALAYSIAN Airlines flight en route to China is STILL missing.

depends.. it may means no refueling in beijing and it is merely an hour stop of cleaning up, loading up and off you go. all inflight food probably has been loaded in KL as well for return flight.
hahaha....i am not sure it makes economic sense to carry extra fuel instead of refuelling at destination.....
anyway, he claimed that MH370 should carry only about 45% fuel instead of nearly full capacity.....

Their filed flight plan from China was to flying into Perth International so there was no mistake. The IL-76s at MLW will have no problems landing at Pearce, main runway 2,439km long (18L/36R).

There is another RAAF training base at Gingin but the runway is even shorter.

Interested in what the Chinese are up to.

<<< Taken from an Australian forum >>>

The aircrafts deployed by the PLA-AF are light years behind the capabilities of the Poseidon's of the US Navy and the Australian and New Zealand Air Forces Orion's.
The aircraft deployed (Ilyushin IL-76 strategic transports) are not really maritime patrol aircraft (MPA), instead converted transports.
If China was serious they would have deployed their home grown MPA, the Shaanxi Y-8FQ, their failure to do so suggests they are less interested in actually finding the aircraft with the best instruments at their disposal and more interested in posturing......


Another forummer responded that the IL-76 could be fitted with equipment to spy on Australia, knowing that the KC-2000 AEW&C is a variant of IL-76.

Families of passengers hire US law firm to sue Boeing, MAS over MH370 tragedy

More families have approached a Chicago-based law firm to help them file a lawsuit against the 777 aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co and Malaysia Airlines as they believe the plane had crashed due to mechanical failure.

The families – from China, Malaysia and Indonesia – are the latest to approach Ribbeck Law Chartered, who are aviation law experts, after the firm had filed a Petition for Discovery in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, on Tuesday on behalf of Dr Januari Siregar who lost his 25-year-old son in the MH370 crash.

Dr Januari, who is also a lawyer, had approached Ribbeck as he had worked with them during the Garuda Indonesia plane crash five years ago.

The petition is meant to secure design and manufacturing defects that may have led to the disaster which claimed the lives of the 239 passengers and crew onboard.

The 239 people on the plane included 153 Chinese nationals and 12 crew members who were all Malaysian.

Ribbeck's head of Global Aviation Litigation Monica Kelly said the filing is a pre-litigation move to identify the parties responsible for the crash.

Boeing was named as the first defendant while Malaysia Airlines, the flight operator, was named as the second defendant.

"We believe that both defendants named are responsible for the disaster of flight MH370," Kelly said.

She revealed that the parties had 30 days to reply to the petition, after which the firm would file a multi-million-dollar lawsuit on behalf of the families against those who are deemed responsible.

"We expect to represent more than 50% of the families of passengers who were on board that flight," she added.

"The families have accepted that the plane has crashed and they are ready to find out the real reason why this happened and this action is going to provide that information for them.

"We will prove that it was a mechanical failure of the aircraft design that caused the plane to crash.

MH370, which was a Boeing 777-200ER aircraft, had vanished from the radar on March 8 shortly after taking off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport enroute to Beijing.

Seventeen days into the search, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak announced that based on new evidence, flight MH370 had ended in the southern Indian Ocean, west of Perth, Australia, with no survivors.

However, no debris has been found yet although several satellite sightings of objects in the area have been reported. – March 26, 2014.

China’s special envoy to Malaysia, Zhang Yesui, called on Wednesday for “unremitting efforts” over the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, state news agency Xinhua said.

Zhang, who is also China’s vice foreign minister, met Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak earlier in the day, according to Xinhua.

On Tuesday, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent Zhang to consult with the Malaysian government over the missing plane, Xinhua said.

China’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday it hoped Britain could provide satellite data by British firm Inmarsat on the missing Malaysian Airlines plane. When asked whether China wants Britain to give China the satellite information, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hong Lei said he hoped the "relevant country" could provide it.

Citing groundbreaking satellite-data analysis by Inmarsat, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said on Monday that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished more than two weeks ago while flying to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, had crashed in the southern Indian Ocean.

Malaysian tourism hit by sharp drop in Chinese visitors in wake of MH370 incident

Chinese tourists are shunning Malaysia, with some even calling for a boycott, in the aftermath of the disappearance of flight MH370

Mainland travel agencies have reported a sharp drop in the number of Chinese visitors to Malaysia.

Some mainlanders, led by celebrities, were also calling for a tourism boycott to the popular holiday destination following the disappearance of Flight 370 on March 8.

“In the two weeks after the incident, we have seen the number of clients from northern China going to Malaysia declining 50 per cent compared with the same period last year, including group and independent travellers,” said Dun Jidong, a senior marketing manager at Ctrip.com, China’s largest travel booking website.

Three top travel agencies, China International Travel Service, China Youth Travel Service and BTG International Travel and Tours, have reported similar declines.

“The impact has spread to most destinations in Southeast Asia,” said a travel agent with the China International who declined to be named. “Many of our travel packages include Malaysia and Thailand and people are reluctant to go there not only because of the missing plane, but also Thailand’s political turmoil.”

But at a resort in Kota Kinabalu, the seaside capital of Sabah state in northeast Malaysia, business was unaffected, at least for now, an employee said.

“Most of our clients have booked their rooms one or two months in advance,” said Aaron Chang, a project manager at KK-Suites Residence. “We might see the real impact in one or two months.”

According to Tourism Malaysia, 1.79 million Chinese visited the country last year, a nearly 15 per cent annual increase.

China is the third largest source of visitors for Malaysia, in which tourism is the sixth contributor of its gross domestic product.

Luo Juan, a senior analyst with market research company Forward Information, predicted Chinese arrivals would this year drop by 20-40 per cent, representing 400,000 to 800,000 tourists.

If each tourist spent an average of 10,000 yuan during the stay, the total loss could rise to 4-8 billion yuan, Luo said.

“A recovery might only be seen after about one year,” she said.

It remains to be seen what effect the boycott calls will have on the industry.

Chen Kun, a popular film star in China, urged people to avoid Malaysia in a weibo posting.

“I … will start a boycott from my inner heart on any commercials and travel relating to Malaysia. This will last … until the Malaysian government takes down their clown-like mask and tells the truth,” he said.

Chen has more than 70 million followers on weibo and his post has been republished over 70,000 times, drawing nearly 30,000 comments, many of them supportive.

Some travellers were cancelling their bookings. Wang Dezhang, a businessman in Shanghai, said his wife and daughter, together with 14 other parents and children, changed their plans to visit Malaysia in July.

“We have booked everything, but still decided to cancel the trip as everybody is concerned about the safety issue,” he said.

China Youth Travel Service has stopped collaborating with Malaysia Airlines on package tours in Kota Kinabalu and promised to a full refund to any customers who wanted to cancel.

“After the MH370 incident happened, the number of travel inquiries to Malaysia has almost dropped to zero, although it is the off-season to go to Malaysia,” said Ge Lei, a marketing director with China Youth Travel Service.

The airline has suspended Flight 318/319, which replaced MH 370/371, and service between Kuala Lumpur and Beijing would be put on hold beginning May 2. Some industry insiders say it was due to a lack of passengers.

New satellite images show 122 ‘potential objects’ spotted in hunt for Malaysia Airlines jet

Hunt for debris from Malaysia Airlines jet steps up as black box detectors arrive

A set of satellite images unveiled yesterday showed 122 "potential objects" floating in the ocean, as China's special envoy stressed to Malaysia the need for an "unremitting" search for flight MH370.

In what could be a debris field from Malaysia Airlines' doomed Boeing 777 jet, the objects were estimated to measure between one and 23 metres, and a number appeared "bright".

The images were captured by France-based Airbus Defence & Space on Monday through gaps in the clouds 2,557 kilometres from Perth - close to satellite sightings previously reported by China and Australia. The objects were contained in an area measuring 400 square kilometres.

Flight MH370 vanished from civilian radar screens less than an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing on March 8, and investigators believe someone aboard may have shut off the plane's communications systems.

"Some of the objects appeared bright, possibly indicating solid materials," said Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein.

"This is the most credible lead we've had so far. [It] seems to corroborate some form of objects and debris and if it is confirmed as MH370, at least we can move on to the next phase of deep-sea surveillance search."

The new images were revealed as relatives of those missing met a Malaysian delegation in Beijing who tried to explain how conclusions were drawn that the plane went down in the sea.

Angry family members questioned the accuracy of a report compiled by British firm Inmarsat and demanded the Malaysians retract a statement that the plane had "ended" in the southern Indian Ocean.

The latest sightings came as search teams stepped up efforts to find some trace of the plane, thought to have crashed on with the loss of all 239 people aboard after flying thousands of kilometres off course.

The 469,407 square nautical mile search area, in the "southern corridor" that the jet was believed to have travelled along, has been divided into two areas, east and west. Six countries - Australia, China, New Zealand, the United States, South Korea and Japan - and 12 planes scoured the seas yesterday after the weather improved following the previous day's grounding.

Three actual objects were identified in the sea - two items believed to be rope seen from a civilian plane and a blue object spotted by the crew of a New Zealand Air Force P-3 Orion, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority said.

Highlighting the challenges of air-search reconnaissance, none of the objects was seen on subsequent flyovers, AMSA added.

Earlier in the day China's envoy, deputy foreign minister Zhang Yesui , met Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak and a host of officials to seek a further insight into the operation, Xinhua reported.

Zhang said he hoped Malaysia would strengthen its information-sharing with China and provide Beijing with the data that led to the conclusion that the "ill-fated flight ended in the southern Indian Ocean", Xinhua said.

At Hishammuddin's daily press briefing in Kuala Lumpur, he was repeatedly asked about relations between Malaysia and China. He denied a rift had opened up between the countries and said Najib was looking forward to his China visit in May.

"Not many countries in the world could get 26 countries to work together," he said. "I think history will judge us well."
