US investigators In another bizarre twist to the mystery surrounding Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, US investigators are now reportedly saying that the plane may have flown for over four hours after it disappeared off the radar, raising fresh speculation about what could have happened to the flight.
A report in the Wall Street Journal reads:
Aviation investigators and national security officials believe the plane flew for a total of five hours based on data automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from the Boeing Co. BA -0.99% 777's engines as part of a routine maintenance and monitoring program.
That raises a host of new questions and possibilities about what happened aboard the widebody jet carrying 239 people, which vanished from civilian air-traffic control radar over the weekend, about one hour into a flight to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.
The report adds that while Malaysian authorities have refused to comment on the new data, that "the huge uncertainty about where the plane was headed, and why it apparently continued flying so long without working transponders, has raised theories among investigators that the aircraft may have been commandeered for a reason that appears unclear to U.S. authorities".
