MAS 370 we are ready
requesting flight

level three five
zero to Beijing.

MAS 370 is cleared to Beijing.

It's 12.26 AM

At Kuala Lumpa
international airport.

Saturday, March 8th.

Ground MAS 370 Good
Morning, Charlie

One. Requesting push and start.

MAS 370 Lumpur Ground,
good morning.

Push back and start approved.

For air traffic control its
another hot and humid night.

Runway 32 Right
Exit via Sierra 4.

On the tarmac, Malaysia airlines
flight 370 is nearing take off

Piloting the plane is 53 year
old Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.

More than 18000 hours
flying experience.

An unblemished flying record.

A thirthy year veteran
of the airline.

Zaharie was an invisible pilot,
now all pilots in the airline

Like to be invisible, meaning
bosses dont know about them,

Meaning they just go, do their
work well, pass all their exams.

Inside the cockpit seated
to Captain Zaharie's

right, is 27 year old
Fariq Abdul Hamid

Radioing air traffic control,
its his first stint co-piloting

a Boeing 777 aircraft, without
a check co-pilot supervising.

It sounds quite normal

It tends to be very ready

communications can
be quite relaxed.

You know, there is a protocol,
but you know it can be

quite relaxed particulaly when
things are going normally.

Around 2 hours
earlier, while the

plane was being
prepared for flight

227 passengers from 14
nations, including Australia,

began checking in at
Kuala Lumpa airport.

Two thirds are
Chinese nationals,

all bound for Beijing.

At 12:41 AM; MH 370
is ready to fly.

370, 32 Right Cleared
for take-off.

Flying conditions
are almost perfect.

Minimal wind and cloud forcast
for the 6 hour flight.

The 4500km flight path would

normally take MH
370 over Vietnam.

Crossing the coast of
mailand China, just

west of Hong Kong, and
then into Beijing.

An easy trip for the Boeing
777 plane, which had

passed its maintenance check
just 12 days earlier.

The 777, how would you
describe its safety record?

Its safety rcord has
been exemplary for,

a modern jet airliner.

The 777, you know, you cant
get lost even if you tried.

It is that good.

Its a very very good aeroplane.

Malaysian Three
Seven Zero, climb

flight level three five zero.

At 1:19 Am, MH 370 is
cruising at 35000 feet,

a Boeing 777's optimal altitude.

As it approaches Vietnam's
airspace, exiting Malaysia's .

Controllers direct the
pilots to make the routine

switch to air traffic control
in Ho Chi Minh City.

Malaysian Three Seven
Zero, contact Ho Chi

Minh One Two Zero decimal Nine.
Good night.

Seconds later a male voice
inside the cocckpit responds.

Good night, Malaysian
Three Seven Zero.

This is the last time anyone
will hear from MH 370,

a final goodbye from the
doomed midnight flight.

Within minutes without notifying
anyone on the ground,

MH 370 veers radically off its
regular flight path to Beijing.

The only reason for deviating
from an intended track.

Is either for weather, or
for some, you know, air

traffic control requirement,
because of some problem.

Neither of those?

Neither of those are a factor.

5 Hours later at 6:30
AM MH 370 is due to

land at Beijing
International Airport.

But it is nowhere to be found.

I mean its without
precedent, how can,

a modern jet airliner just..
pfft dissapear.

At 7:24AM Malaysia Airlines
release a statement on Facebook.

Malaysia Airlines confirms
that flight MH 370 has lost

contact with Subang Air Traffic
Control at 2:40AM today.

The world is unaware that MH
370 is actually still flying.

Oh yes, yes, yes, it was
just running out of fuel.

I was just having 6
tonnes of fuel in tanks.

Yes it was flying.

As we turned on our televisions
that plane was still in the air?

Chilling... when I got
the message on my phone,

the aeroplane was still
airborne, its chilling.

Unaware of the fate of their
loved ones, distressed

relatives begin to arrive
at Kuala Lumpur Airport

Fuck you.

[ambient noise]

A nation starts praying for
the planes safe return.

As-salamu alaykum

Over the following days,
government officials struggle

under pressure with little
information to release.

We do not know exactly what
happened to the aircraft.

Nearly 300 different news
agencies descend on Kuala Lumpur

All desperate for answers.

Then after a few days of flip
flop, and refusal to release

critical information, people
are becoming more cynical.

The governments press
conferences are

quickly overrun, by a
furious media pack

Soon the doors are
closed on the media,

fueling claims of
conspiracy and coverup.

Where is my son?

Why are you not giving
me any answers?

You say its a conspiracy.

Conspiracy merely to
protect the people who

have not done the job
they are supposed to do.

And who hasn't done their job?

I guess the people who are,
who are on duty that night.

The airforce,
Malaysian Airlines,

The Kuala Lumpur
Airport Authority

I mean its a good number
of agencies involved.

So how did MH 370 and everyone
on board vanish without a

trace, when so many eyes
were watching it that night.

What sort of mystery is this?

Its huge, its huge,
it just doesn't

These sort of events
just dont happen.

The mystery of flight 370,
begins just after 1:19AM

Good Night Malaysia
Three Seven Zero

Around 90 seconds after
the final good night.

This 90 seconds is very
key, this 90 seconds

actually defines, the whole
of MH 370's going missing

That 90 seconds.

At 1:21Am MH 370's transponder,
is turned off or fails.

Located on the centre
console of the flight

deck the transponder is
the planes main mode

of indentifiction by
air traffic control,

using civilian secondary
radar on the ground.

It's actually a positive
response to the ground

and it contains information
like, the aircraft

height, speed, flight
number and its destination.

Four corners has
spoken to more than a

dozen 777 pilots, all
of them agree unless

there is the malfunction
the transponder

should never be turned
of during flight.

There is no reason I can think
of, operational reason,

that the aircraft would have
that transponder turned off.

There is no reason to do so.

Could that be done accidently?

No.

I do not know who switched
off the transponder,

but certainly that

diabolical act started with the

switching off of
that transponder

Around the same
time Four Corners

understands someone
in the cockpit

began to interfere with the
in-flight entertainment system.

And a second key data messaging
system also stops transmitting.

The Aircraft
Communications Addressing

and Reporting System, ACARS

It would give information about
the various pressures, and

temperatures within the engine,
oil levels, speeds of rotation.

ACARS records and transmits the
health of the plane during

flight, and its designed to
never be turned off in the air.

If its something that
somebody wished to do.

As a positive step

Then you would have to research
how it was going to be achieved.

So you need to know what
your doing? - Exactly

It just points out to one
thing, human intereference.

The question is did
someone in the cockpit

deliberately turn the
transponder and the ACARS off?

Or were both systems
both disabled

by a fire or
malfunction onboard?

Do you believe that
this was human

intervention, or
do you believe its

possible that the
communications systems

were knocked out by say a fire.

Yeah it could have
been, quite easily

So where would the fire
have been in order

to strike out those
communications?

The electronics bay
which is right

beneath where the pilots sit.

If there was a fire
or an explosion on

board could the plane
continue to fly?

Its beyond the bounds
of probability.

In my view

There is no mechanical
malfunction that

enables an aircraft to
fly but kills radio.

And fly, is not just fly, this
is flying for the next 7 hours.

With ACARS off what does
that actually mean,

in that now the transponder
and ACARS is off.

Your slowly shutting
off the methods of

communication between the
aircraft and the ground.

Only a few people
on board MH 370

had the skill and the knowledge

to take over the plane and shut
down its communications systems,

early on one person
in particular

stood out, the captain.

Captain Zaharie has the best

opportunity and
certainly capability,

opportunity meaning
that he has control

over time and how
events can unfold.

He is the most powerful
person on that aircraft?

- most powerful person on
the aeroplane, yes indeed.

But could Captain Zaharie
be a rogue pilot on

a suicide mission taking
238 people with him?

These are the last
known recorded images

of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah.

Seen here clearing security
with co pilot Fariq Hamid

At Kuala Lumpur
international airport

moments before flying MH 370.

So who is Captain Zaharie?

Hi everyone! This
is a Youtube video

that I have made as a
community service.

In this home video, uploaded
to facebook in January

2013, Zaharie explains how
to save on electricity.

This video is to be
used to optimise

your heat pump or
your compressor.

Highly intelligent and
technically savvy,

Captain Zaharie was also
obsessed with aviation.

Joining Malaysia alirlines
as a cadet in 1981.

According to the companies
former chief pilot,

Nick Huslan, Zaharie had
an impeccable record.

What was his reputation
then as a pilot?

He was methodical,
methodical he kept

very good notes and
he was generous.

If tabloid media reports using

unamed sources are
to be believed.

Captain Zaharie was
a man on the edge.

Weighed down by personal
problems, a failing

marriage, in no stage
to fly that night.

Captain Zaharie's family has
remained silent until now.

For the first time tonight
they speak publically

In Panang with Zaharie's
brother in law, Aswad Khan.

Agreeing to speak
to Four Corners on

behalf of his sister
Fiza, Zaharie's wife.

And how close were you two?

As a friend yeah, and as a
brother in law, definetaly.

How often did Captain
Zaharie return to Panang?

Every year.

Why have you decided
to speak with us?

Well because what I can see
is that a lot of people

are saying a lot of things
about him which is untrue.

It was reported that in the
24 hours leading up to

flight MH 370 Captain
Zaharie's wife had left him.

Taking their children
with her to another house.

According to Captain
Zaharie's brother in law

the rumours are
completely false.

Even I dont believe
it, because shes

at home, well the
normal procedure for

what they call it,

when ever
the husband flys

the wife will go to
another house where

the younger son stays
otherwise she will

be alone in that big house,

thats been practised since
they bought the house.

That was their routine?

Yeah their routine,
you can say that.

A difficult question I need to
ask you, again personal life.

All of these rumours need
to be discussed. - Okay

It was reported that Captain
Zaharie also had a girlfriend

That I do not know about.

Even if I knew I say why not?

We are allowed too, as long as
you take good care of your wife.

Even if you ask my
sister, she would she

doesn't care, you can
marry another one

Why not we can marry
four, we are muslim.

A self confessed
aviation geek, Zaharie

built a flight
simulator in his home.

Spending hours practising
emergency landings

Inviting friends
over, to have a go.

In terms of Captain
Zaharie time spent on

the simulator, was
it a secret of his?

The flight simulator is
definetely not a secret, of his.

He was proud of it, and since he
installed it about a year ago,

he has been proudly showing
it off in the Facebook.

So theres nothing
sinister about it.

Many pilots have flight
simulators at home

For Zaharie its
become the subject

of intense media speculation.

Claims that he deleted simulator
data, before flying MH 370

But Aswad Khan says his
sister Fiza, Zaharie's wife

told him that the flight
simulator broke in 2013.

That simulator was dismantled
already, the things crashed.

It doesnt work, so he had
to reformat the drive.

To be clear

Captain Zaharie's wife
has told you that he was

not on that simulator this year,
except to try and re-install.

He did not practise extreme
landings and take-offs?

This year?

I dont think so, because the
simulator is not working.

Captain Zaharie was also
politically minded,

a strong supporter and distant

relative of opposition
Anwar Ibrahim

In what many believe
is a politically

motivated trial on
Friday 7th March,

Ibrahim was sentenced to 5 years
jail for the crime of sodomy.

It was rumoured that
Zaharie was in court

in Kuala Lumpur for the
verdict, just hours

before he pilotted MH
370, leading to claims

he took the plane down
in political protest.

A distressed activist,
a political fanatic.

But his brother
in law Aswad Khan

said Zaharie was not at court.

Was Captain Zaharie at the
trial of Anwar Ibrahim?

No, I asked my sister
personally, even, even my sister

herself informed him on
what happened on that day.

So the idea that
Captain Zaharie was

so distressed, by
the ruling in this

court case that he
took a plane on a

suicide mission?
That is ridiculous?

And making that
decision within around

4 or 5 hours is
absolutely ridiculous.

A prime suspect with
no apparent motive.

To date there is no proof
Zaharie is responsible

But we can prove how MH 370 was

allowed to dissapear
that morning.

Starting on the ground, with
air traffic control at 1:20AM

1 minute, MH 370 blips regularly
on civilian radar screens

The next, transponder
disabled, its gone.

When you cant see the target or

the radar display
of the aircraft

and label, dissappear

you would start to become
quite concerned immediately.

That didnt happen, at
the exact moment the

transponder and the
ACARS stopped working,

MH 370 is flying through
a technically obscure

grey zone, a vulnerable
hand over point between

two airspace sectors,
Malaysia and Vietnam

If I was going to take the

aircraft over, and
wanted to make

the aircraft dissappear this
is exactly when I would do it.

Did MH 370 fly to outsmart
air traffic control?

Yes.

As MH 370 reaches Vietnam
airspace, its directed

to switch over to air
traffic control in

Ho Chi Minh City, standard
proceedure for any

plane following a
commerical flight path.

Any pilot worth his salt, any
pilot anywhere in the world,

when your hand it
over, you switch

frequency, in the case of a

777 you probably
have that frequency

already on the spare box.

Malaysian Three Seven Zero,
contact Ho Chi Minh One

Two Zero decimal Nine.
Good Night.

In Vietnam officers on duty
wait for MH 370 to check in,

a grace period, of
reportedly up to 5 minutes.

I tell you it's all
done in one swoop.

Malaysian 370 good
night, over to

Ho Chi Minh, click. Ho
Chi Minh, Malaysian

370 good morning.
That's all it takes.

Exactly that long.

That did not happen.

Ho Chi Minh Air Traffic
Control waits,

and waits for MH370 to respond.

How normal is it for the plane
simply to not check in?

Unheard of, unless there
was a problem on board

the aeroplane with the-
eh communications.

If they aircraft, if
there was a problem with

them not calling, the
aircraft not calling

ah Vietnam, it should
have they should a

gone straight back
to um Kuala Lumpur.

Instead, almost 20 minutes pass.

At 1:38am Ho Chi Minh finally
calls air traffic control in

Kuala Lumpur: they've failed
to make contact with MH370.

Twenty minutes?

Yeah well it's,
it's way too long.

It's way too long.
You would think

that would have happened in the

first three or four
minutes, yeah.

The delay is soon compounded
by misinformation

coming out of Malaysia
Airlines Operations Centre.

At around 2:00am, the
airline makes the first

of three stunning
communication errors.

According to this timeline
of events released by

the Malaysian Government,
an airline employee

told the nearby air
traffic control centre

that the aircraft was
in Cambodian airspace.

And again at 2:15am: MH370 was
flying in Cambodian airspace.

Twenty minutes later, at
2:35am, a third time.

With Malaysia
Airlines Operations

even giving coordinates.

Is it not concerning that at
2am, the authorities know that

370 is in an airspace and an
area that it shouldn't be?

Absolutely. Absolutely.

And it's more surprising

that the control
authorities cannot see the

aircraft, but Malaysian
Airlines are supposedly

is reporting the position
of that aircraft.

What's even more surprising:

Malaysia Airlines not
only provided misleading

coordinates, the
airline provided

them before even
trying to call MH370.

According to information we've
obtained, Malaysia Airline's

Operations Centre
made its first attempt

to call MH370 at 2:39am.
That's four minutes after

providing those misleading
coordinates at 2:35am.

Despite the gravity
of the situation, the

airline made just
one attempt to call

MH370 by satellite
phone in those crucial

hours before it was due to land.

Based on the Government's
timetable, air traffic

control in both Kuala
Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh

continued to operate
under Malaysia Airlines'

confusing data placing MH370
in Cambodian airspace

until 3.30am, when a
correction was made.

Malaysia Airlines
Operations Centre informed

Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic
Control Centre that the flight

tracker information was
based on flight projection

and not reliable for
aircraft positioning.

Unbelievably, another two
hours would pass before

Kuala Lumpur activated
Air Search and Rescue.

So they wait until 5:30?

That seems very long.

There'd be other people that

should have been informed
and those people, I would

have expected, to have
started the a search and

rescue co-ordination
centre before that time.

With maximum
confusion, delay and

inaction on the ground, in the

sky, whoever's in
control of MH370

has bought invaluable time.

At around 1:30am, invisible
in the air, the plane

dramatically changes course,
taking a wide left turn.

Would passengers
have felt anything?

Not necessarily.
It's night-time,

they're tired, probably
falling asleep.

It's not known who's
flying the plane.

As it glides across
the Malaysian

peninsular, transponder off,

now an unauthorised
unidentified object,

MH370 isn't visible on
civilian secondary radar, but

it can be seen by the
military's primary radar.

And it's spotted,
then dismissed,

by military radar
officers below.

So if there's not very
many things flying around

and they've all got
transponder codes on and, all

of a sudden, one guy show
up on your screen who

doesn't have a transponder
code, that should have

been an indication that
something, right off the

bat, was amiss, that something
needed to be, ah, you

know, something was worthy of
maybe making a phone call,

investigating, seeing
what was going on.

But it appears nothing was done.

This is the route MH370 is
believed to have taken.

Based on its likely altitude

and speed, it took
MH370 around 15

minutes to fly across
the peninsular.

During that time, it was well

within at least
two of Malaysia's

military radar zones - the
last, at Butterworth, Penang.

On that clear night, with
very little air traffic

and close to empty
skies, MH370 flew almost

directly over the top
of Malaysia's military

radar station located on
the island of Penang.

Four Corners understands
that a team

of up to five officers
could or should

have been on duty
at the nearby radar

operations centre at
Butterworth airbase.

Their job? To man the military
radar screens, looking

for unidentified aircraft
entering Malaysia's airspace.

What should the military
have done that night?

The Air Force will be
alerted and will have

to then be flown to
that area to either,

you know, normally to
guide the plane to

land or to leave the
Malaysian airspace.

They're standard operating

procedure and this
was never done.

The military completely breached

the standing operating
procedures?

The former First Admiral of
the Royal Malaysian Navy, now

member of the People's
Justice Party,

Imran Abdul Hamid, agrees.

Is it inexcusable for the
RMAF Chief to not have

tracked down this plane and
chased it in real time?

Definitely, if it is,
if they knew the

aircraft is ah passing
through our country,

definitely they must react.
They should

be responsible for
what they are doing.

MH370 could have been blipping
on military radar screens

as an unidentified object
for up to 40 minutes.

Until around 2.25am.

Yeah, I mean it's a major
scandal here, because this is of

course amounting to a major
threat to national security.

But I say it is their
responsibility; they have to

answer to the people of
Malaysia for failing to react.

So, the Chief of Defence
Forces has to answer for it,

the Chief of Air Forces
has to answer for it.

If they cannot answer it,
I think they should leave

the service for other people
to serve the country.

But clearly I think on the issue

of the radar,
there's no defence.

Both the Minister of
Defence and Minister for

transport have just
completely ignored this.

Forty-one days since
MH370 disappeared,

at a Defence Expo
in Kuala Lumpur,

we asked the Minister to confirm
reports that the Department of

Civil Aviation
rang the military,

reporting they'd
lost MH370, asking

military officers
on duty to look

for the plane early
that morning.

Minister Hishammudin,
ABC Television,

Australia. Did civil
aviation contact

the military as
has been reported

in the early hours
of the morning?

Sorry?

Did civil aviation contact the
military in the early hours

the flight disappeared, as has
been reported by Reuters?

When?

Contacted on the morning
of the 8th would

have been around
2am it's reported.

Oh, no, no I am
not going back...

Well the record hasn't been

corrected and the
question still.

Well it will be corrected.

Well can you correct
it today please?

No. Let it be corrected
by all those involved.

One week later, at the
Ministry of Defence, Minister

Hishammuddin agreed to an
interview with Four Corners.

To answer questions about what
the military did and didn't do.

For the first time,
confirming that civil

aviation did ring the
military that morning.

Did DCA contact the military?

Yes they did.

What time?

You have to ask the DCA
and it will come out, the

details, I think this, the
dates, because I do not want

to be trapped by, from my
experience in the last few

weeks, by dates, by
numbers, by names, by rank.

Even though civil aviation
had rung the military,

possibly as early as 2am-
alerting officers on duty

to look out for a lost,
unidentified commercial plane,

the military allowed MH370
to glide out to sea.

Minister Hishammuddin
told Four Corners

that MH370 was tracked
by the military

in real time, but
inexplicably, dismissed

as not hostile by the
officer on duty.

The military also
decided not to send

up one of its planes
to investigate.

But why not send the
jets up if you, you have

conceded earlier that you
knew very early in the

morning the plane was
missing, there was four

and a half hours time
in which to respond.

It was not hostile; it
was commercial; it was

from our airspace; we're
not at war with anybody.

Even if we sent them
up, are you going to

say that we're going
to shoot it down?

Well you said that, not me.

No, I'm asking you.

I could not possibly
answer that

If you're not going
to shoot it down,

what's the point
of sending it up?

To see where it's going.

Well to see where it
going, you need a

fighter for that?
If you're talking

about military
procedures, and if

I did shoot it
down, you'd be the

first to say, how
can you shoot down

a commercial airline
with twent- 14

nationals, half of
them Chinese, I'd

be in a worse position probably.

Why shoot it down though
if it's not hostile?

Well the Americans would.

If the military didn't dismiss
the plane as irrelevant,

if the officers on duty
took action, the Government

would have avoided another
costly mistake: spending a

week searching the wrong
area: the South China Sea.

The DCA with all the
assisting agencies,

have conducted a thorough rescue

and search operations
over a very

wide area in the
South China Sea.

It would take a
team of determined

satellite engineers
across the globe

for the Malaysian
Government to realise

it was looking in
the wrong place.

The breakthrough came on the
other side of the world, here

in London, where a small group
of satellite engineers began

to painstakingly analyse the
only data available from

MH370 after its communications
systems had been disabled.

They didn't have much
to go on: a sequence

of 14 numbers,
signals sent between

the plane and a satellite
hovering around

35,000 kilometres
in the sky above.

The data pointed to one
crucial thing: the

plane had continued
to fly until 8.19am.

It didn't crash into the South
China Sea as first thought.

I mean this is basic ah
physics that was used.

Ah, what we did is used
the data available

in a different way.
We combined the small

bits of information
in a different way.

That information came from a
ground station used by satellite

technology company Inmarsat
on the outskirts of Perth

The ground station
had been logging

data on MH370's
movements, a series

of pings after the
ACARS communications

system on board stopped working.

And as I matter of
procedure they immediately

picked up the logs
for that plane.

The logs showed
that, although the

ACARS had been disabled, MH370's

satellite communications
terminal,

or SATCOM, was still operating.

As it continued to
fly, every hour, the

SATCOM was trying
to communicate with

Inmarsat's satellite,
the F3, hovering

in the sky above
the Indian Ocean.

What happens is
that our satellite

comm, our SATCOM
terminal, will at

regular intervals,
we will have a

handshake exchange
with the teleport.

You could call it, the technical
term is a sort of 'keep alive',

ah just checking that the
timing is correct between

the two and that the channels,
we have a number of

channels available, they are
available for use if needed.

Over 48 hours, Inmarsat's
engineering team

crunched the data,
seven timing numbers

and seven frequency
numbers, in the hope

of narrowing down the
right search area.

How are things going?

Ah, I think we are making
good progress; you

can see the seven arcs
that we have after the

loss of radar contact,
and you can see them

extending down into the
Southern Indian Ocean.

It was a painstaking
period of detailed

analysis and checking
and validation.

We had to be sure that we
understood the data we had.

Inmarsat's data
showed that MH370

made seven handshakes
with Satellite 3,

indicating that the
plane continued

to fly into the morning.

Longer than first
thought and well

away from the South China Sea.

The last, a partial
handshake, at 8:19am.

Does that prove that MH370
was flying until 8.19am?

It proves, just it
proves that the SATCOM

terminal was working
until 0019 or 8.19

as you put it; it
was still moving ah

between 0011 and 0019.
You can deduce that.

And there was nothing further?
No data further from 8.19?

From that point onwards, no.
There was a attempt at

a handshake at 0115, I
believe, but that failed.

Seventy-two hours
after MH370 was

lost on Tuesday the
11th of March,

Inmarsat privately
handed the data

over to its distributor,
which in turn

gave it to Malaysia
- showing that

MH370 had continued
to fly either

north or south for
several hours after

it lost contact with the ground.

Despite the data, two
days later, on Thursday,

Minister Hishammuddin
publicly dismissed

the possibility that
MH370 continued to fly

after it lost contact
with the ground.

Before I take any
questions, ladies and

gentleman, I would
like to clear up a few

issues. Firstly being
on the engine data.

I would like to refer
to news reports

suggesting that the
aircraft may have continued

flying for some time
after last contact.

As Malaysia Airlines
will confirm

shortly, those reports
are inaccurate.

At best, a communication
breakdown. At worst Inmarsat's

data may have been ignored for
several days by Malaysia.

Remarkably, another two
days would pass before the

Government abandoned its
search in the South China Sea.

It took Malaysia several days
to take Inmarsat's data onboard

and shift the search area.
Was that a reasonable delay?

It's difficult to say, Carol.
It's really

difficult to say.
We have, throughout

this process, learned
that in events of

this magnitude, everybody
has an opinion.

The Minister told Four
Corners Inmarsat's data had

to be verified before the
Government could act.

And only when we had
confirmation, corroboration,

verification that the
commercial flight that was

detected by the military
radar was the MH370, then

we stopped our search
in the South China Sea.

That was after searching
on all sorts of leads

that were given: fireballs
in the sky, oil slicks,

life rafts, lifeboats,
even a Chinese

satellite images in
the South China Sea.

Absolutely, there was a lot
to deal with at that stage so

is it, is it a reasonable delay
to, to need three days.

Was it three days?

I think, ah, I think that
it's, ah, wrong to, ah,

just point out and throw out
a period of three days.

Two weeks after MH370 was
lost, on the 24th of March,

Malaysia's Prime Minister
publicly acknowledged

Inmarsat's additional data
showing MH370 is likely

to have ended in the
southern Indian ocean.

It is therefore with
deep sadness and

regret that I must inform you,

that according to this
new data, flight MH370

ended in the southern
Indian Ocean.

For the families
of those on board,

agony quickly turned to anger.

We want they give us the
truth, that's what we want.

Eight weeks on, out
in the southern Indian

Ocean, where MH370 is
believed to have ended

around 2,000 kilometres
off the coast of

Western Australia, no
wreckage has been found.

The battery on the
black box has run out.

There are no more
signals to chase.

Despite the cost, the search
goes on - led by Australia.

We haven't found anything.
The search continues in the

adjacent areas and
hopefully we'll

find something, but, I would

say that, over the next,
eight to 12 months we will

find the aircraft. Ah, we'll
find its final resting place.

We now know multiple authorities
watched MH370 disappear.

Despite the inaction
and the repeated

failures that night by those in

charge, No one in
Malaysia has taken

responsibility for
the loss of MH370.

Going missing is
a strange thing.

Crashing is pretty normal,

you know, so when you crash
it's easy - the plane crashed.

But, missing somebody
must take responsibility.

It is head of DCA or is it
Malaysia Airlines itself?
