Budget allocation for MH370 search
$89.9 m was allocated in last night's Budget for the MH370 search and recovery operation. So far as I can see, that is the Australian Government's share of an operational cost to be shared with Malaysia and China and perhaps other nations too.
And today's resumed search didn't get off to a great start when comms was lost with Bluefin after only two hours. Let's hope the software upgrade that it received while in Perth was not the cause!

Four Corners
‘Lost: MH370' ABC1, 8:30pm, Mon, 19 May 2014, 50 minutes Four Corners charts what happened in the minutes and hours after Flight MH370 stopped communicating with authorities on the ground. The program raises many crucial questions about what went wrong with the emergency response and reveals new information about the sequence of events that night. Travelling to Malaysia, Caro Meldrum-Hanna speaks to the family of the pilot and prime suspect, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, in their first television interview. |

and that's what happens when you have 20+ years of 1 party rule when an incident of this nature occurs.

Having just watched the four corners report I refer to my earlier statement
The Malaysian defence minister looked very nervous and could not give direct answers WHAT is the point of military radar if it is not used , why did the Malaysian airforce not follow or escort the aircraft to identify it? What is the Malaysian government hiding ? Original message Posted 6 weeks ago Join Date: Apr 2009 Posts: 125 I think the Malaysian government , Malaysia airline officials know a lot more than they are letting on , probably for security reasons they are holding back certain info from the public , for all we know the aircraft could be in the desert somewhere in the mid east / or Pakistan , etc??? we still don't really know what happened to TWA 800 , even though the wreckage was found |

MH370 - Missing
Interesting the defence minister couldn't give a straight answer on anything. When asked about an intercept, he kept implying an intercept meant a 'shoot down'. Then when pressed asking why they did not send up aircraft to intercept, he made some stupid remark about America shooting down airliners.
He (and the Malay government) are clearly out of their depth. And it appears the rest of the world knows it, but Malaysia is in denial. |

like I said...20+ years of one party rule will do this to you. Now you have the former PM Mahatir saying it's a CIA coverup and that Boeing is to blame. Those buffoons have no idea...and would be out of their depth in a shallow puddle. |

Back to square 2?
Sounds like we're back to the 800km x 70km arc based on the Inmaarsat ping data.
