Expert: missing Malaysian Boeing was deliberately strayed or stolen – Kommersant

Missing Malaysian Boeing was deliberately strayed or stolen. This opinion was expressed in the published March 8 in an interview with the newspaper Le Parisien French expert, previously head of the National Bureau of Investigation and analysis of accidents, Jean-Paul Troadek. This specialist has attracted the Malaysian Government to study the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the aircraft Boeing-777, en route flight MH370 Kuala Lumpur – Beijing, reports Tass.

«Everything points to the fact that the plane was off his communication transmitter – transponder that transmits data about the whereabouts of the aircraft, and the system «Acars», transmitting information about the status of its technical systems. All this indicates clearly intentional diversion of aircraft from its planned course. However, the reasons for such action are still a mystery, “- said Mr. Troadek. However, he believes that attention should be paid at the time of shutdown equipment. “It just turned off when the plane was supposed to go out of the surveillance zone Malaysian flight control service Vietnamese service. At that point, often there is a pause of several minutes before the pilot reports of the voyage, which takes him under control. But know this could only person who knew all the great features of the dispatching services, “- said the expert.

« Disabling the transponder is made very easy – just switch the toggle switch on the panel. With regard to the shutdown of equipment «Acars», it is not necessary for this access in the electronics – it can be done with the pilot’s seat, with remote control. However, this operation does not train pilots and it is quite difficult, “- says Mr. Troadek. The expert considers it unlikely the hypothesis of hijacking the purpose of committing a terrorist act against the US military base on Diego Garcia. At the same time, he does not rule out the possibility of suicide attempts on the part of one or both pilots. “Such incidents have already occurred,” – said the expert. Speaking about the moment of the crash, the expert expressed confidence that “the machine, having developed all the fuel has fallen into the ocean.” “If a plane hits the water surface at a steep angle and at high speed, it brea ks up into small pieces so that they are difficult to detect in the future”, – said Mr. Troadek.
