“The Inmarsat satellite signal path overlapped near Pinger # 2 search grid - is that where MH370 is?”
- Mark Wood, retired U. S. Navy Captain
Kuala Lumpur is the capital of Malaysia with a population of some 1.6 million. Early Saturday, March 8, 2014, at 12:41 AM local time, Malaysian Airliner MH370 took off for a routine 2,700 mile flight to Beijing. But at 1:19 AM over the Gulf of Thailand, MH370 disappeared when the transponder shut off. Inmarsat-3 F1 geostationary satellite picks up data that indicates that MH370 went either north or south along the red arcs. Possible black box pings were heard in the Indian Ocean southwest of Perth, Australia, where underwater drone searches as of April 23, 2014, had not found any wreckage.
