RNZAF P3 Orion to search for flight MH370
Tuesday, 11 March, 2014 - 09:40
Prime Minister John Key says a Royal New Zealand Air Force P3 Orion will soon be joining the search for the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
"The Malaysian Government has accepted the New Zealand offer to join the international search and rescue effort, and I will be talking to Malaysia’s Prime Minister Najib tonight to reinforce that New Zealand stands firmly alongside Malaysia at this challenging time" says Mr Key.
"The aircraft departed yesterday and, after a stop-off in Darwin, will arrive in Malaysia later today. It is expected to join the multi-national search and rescue mission.
"The New Zealand aircraft will be based at the Butterworth air base in Penang along with two Australian P3 planes. They are likely to assist Malaysian authorities by searching the sea areas North of Malaysia.
"Much remains unclear about what has happened to the flight. New Zealand wants to do its part in the search and rescue effort to locate the aircraft," says Mr Key.
"While we are aware the hope for positive news is fading, our thoughts remain with the family members of those who were on the flight, particularly the families of New Zealanders Paul Weeks and Ximin Wang."

Jewish Russian was aboard missing Malaysian Airlines plane
March 10, 2014 5:01pm
(JTA) — One of the passengers aboard the Malaysian Airlines plane that vanished is a Jewish Russian national.
Nikolai Brodskii, 43, of the Siberian city of Irkutsk, appears on the missing plane’s passenger manifest. He is a husband and father of sons aged 17 and 11.
Rabbi Aharon Wagner, a Chabad rabbi for the region, contacted Brodskii’s family after learning that he was on the plane, the Times of Israel reported.
Brodskii, a scuba diving instructor, had traveled to Bali, Indonesia, for a diving vacation. He was returning to Russia on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, the Times of Israel reported, citing Vitaly Markov, first secretary of the Russian embassy in Malaysia.
The flight, with 239 passengers on board, disappeared Saturday while flying over the sea between Malaysia and Vietnam. No distress signal was issued, and it is believed the plane had changed course and turned back toward Kuala Lumpur, from where it had taken off.
It was later discovered that two passengers boarded the plane using stolen passports.
The Financial Times reported Monday that the tickets for those two passengers were bought by an Iranian middleman.

A Puzzle With No Pieces
The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is so baffling that veteran aviation investigators say they are struggling to come up with a plausible theory in the absence of any wreckage.
There are only a handful of scenarios that could explain how a usually reliable wide-body jet could seemingly vanish from a clear sky with no distress call and no obvious debris field.And for every circumstance that would seem to support one theory, another undercuts it."It's a thousand-piece puzzle and we have two pieces and we're trying to make a picture that with," said John Goglia, a former member of the National Transportation Safety Board.
"I'm totally confused, to be honest with you. Nothing makes sense."
Adds former NTSB investigator Greg Feith, "You can't rule anything out at this point."Here are the possibilities investigators are likely looking at as they try to figure out what happened to the Boeing 777 flying 239 people from Malaysia to Beijing across the South China Sea.
Mid-air mechanical malfunction
A catastrophic event that made the jet come apart at its cruising altitude of 35,000 feet would explain its sudden disappearance. But Feith said that would result in a large debris field in the water, and no one has found one yet.
On the other hand, a mechanical malfunction that brought the plane down intact presumably would have given the pilots time to make a distress call. Even if there was a total electrical power failure, backup systems would have kept the radio running.
Bomb or other explosion
Again, if there was a cataclysm over water — where authorities say the plane lost contact and where the search is concentrated — debris would likely have been spotted already."Lots of things inside an airplane float. People float to some extent," Goglia said.
What if the blast was smaller? Feith can conceive of a situation where a bomb blew open a hole big enough to cause explosive decompression but didn't damage the structural integrity of the plane. The fuselage would fill with fog and passengers and crew would pass out within five to 15 seconds.On autopilot, as the plane would be at that point of the flight, it could fly for hours before crashing on land, perhaps in a thick, remote jungle, Feith said.
Weighing against a bomb is the fact that no one has claimed any responsibility and a plane carrying mostly Malaysian and Chinese passengers would seem to be a less likely terrorist target than an American or European jet.Pentagon surveillance data also uncovered no sign of a mid-air explosion.
Hijacking
Increased security has made skyjackings largely a crime of the past. Flight 370 would have had a cockpit door, and procedure would have called for it to be locked at that point in the trip.Nevertheless, it's impossible to tell what security measures were actually in place on the flight. We already know that Malaysia didn't bother to check whether the stolen passports used by two passengers were listed in an Interpol database.
If an armed person did manage to get into the cockpit, they might prevent the crew from making a distress call. There are discreet codes for a hijacking that pilots can put into the transponder, but because radar coverage in that area was unreliable, it might go unnoticed, Feith said.
Typically, hijackers take over a plane to land it somewhere other than its intended destination or to make a demand of some sort — which doesn't fit with this case. However, as 9/11 showed, a suicidal hijacker could wrest control of an aircraft for the purpose of terrorism and intentionally or accidentally crash it into anything.
Pilot error or sabotage
The Boeing 777 should have been on autopilot, but let's say the pilots took it off and then got disoriented or made some other mistake. They still should have had time to make to an emergency call once they got into trouble.
In the 1999 crash of EgyptAir Flight 990, authorities believe co-pilot Gamil El Batouty directed the plane into the Atlantic Ocean off Nantucket, Mass., while the pilot desperately tried to regain control.Experts say that theoretically could have happened with the Malaysia Airlines flight — although there is no evidence to suggest it did.
Bringing an intact plane straight down into the water would explain the lack of a sprawling wreckage field. If there was a struggle in the cockpit, that might be a reason no distress call was made.
FBI to Check Thumbprints of Impostor Passengers
he FBI is expected to analyze thumbprints of two men who used false passports to board the Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared en route to China and see if they can find a match in their massive database, NBC News has learned.Airport security took the prints from two men who boarded Flight 370 to Beijing at the Kuala Lumpur airport on March 8 using passports stolen from an Italian and an Austrian tourist. The plane, which had 239 passengers and crew aboard, went missing after take-off and is now the subject of a multi-nation hunt.
The FBI is currently waiting to receive the prints from Malaysia officials. U.S. officials say they are not leaning toward or away from terrorism as a motive for the two men, but are attempting to piece together as complete a travel itinerary as possible. Malaysian officials have already circulated photos of the two men who boarded the plane to foreign intelligence agencies.
Intelligence sources told NBC News that it appears the two men -- described loosely as "Mediterranean looking" -- began their journey in Qatar and at some point then made their way to Thailand. They used an Iranian middleman to purchase tickets for them in Thailand for the circuitous route from Kuala Lumpur through China to Europe.
It is a route, officials note, that is favored by budget travelers, as it is a very cheap, if slow, way to Europe. From China the two passengers intended to travel through Amsterdam, at which point their paths would have diverged, with one heading to Stockholm and the other to Frankfurt.The middleman, an Iranian referred to as "Ali," paid cash for the tickets.
Shortly after Ali learned that two of his customers were the subjects of a worldwide investigation into the doomed flight, he came forward and told authorities how he purchased the tickets and detailed other assistance he provided the two men. The middleman is currently believed to be in Iran and U.S. authorities have not been in direct contact with him, sources said.
NBC News confirmed information reported in the Financial Times and other news outlets that the tickets were bought through the Grand Horizon travel agency in Pattaya, Thailand.The Financial Times also quoted the agency’s owner, Benjaporn Krutnait, as saying the Iranian had asked her to book the two men to travel to Europe on March 1, specifying only that she find them cheap tickets.
She initially booked them on two separate flights -- one on Qatar Airways and another on Etihad Airways -- but the tickets expired before she heard again from the Iranian, she said.
He contacted her again on Thursday, and again did not specify a flight. She rebooked the men on the missing Malaysia Airlines flight, which was also marketed as a China Southern Airlines flight under a codeshare agreement. This time a friend of the Iranian paid in cash, she said. Benjaporn then arranged for a larger agency, Six Stars Travel, to issue the tickets, according to Thai police.
