An investigation into the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines jetliner is focusing more on a suspicion the flight was deliberately diverted, as evidence suggests it was last headed out over the Andaman Islands, sources have claimed
Officials 'Convinced' Two Communications Systems On Missing Jet Were Deliberately Shut Off 14-Minutes Apart As It Emerges Aircraft DID Keep 'Pinging' For Hours After Vanishing At 35,000 ft -- Daily Mail
* Malaysian Airways flight MH370 went missing on Saturday morning carrying 239 passengers
* Its last known position was above the South China Sea an hour into flying
* U.S. official said two separate communication systems were shut down 'deliberately' shortly after take-off
* Despite this, tracking signals or 'pings' were sent to British firms satellite from the plane for up to five further hours after it vanished
* These pings show the plane's altitude, height and speed
* According to US officials when the last ping was sent the plane was still flying at 35,000ft over water
US officials believe that two communications systems aboard Malaysian Airlines flight 370 were shut down separately, 14 minutes apart - which indicates the plane did not come down because of a sudden catastrophic failure.
The data reporting system was shut down at 1.07 am and the transponder was turned off at 1.21 am just after the the pilot signed off to Malaysian air traffic controllers with 'All right, good night,' and before the Boeing 777 apparently changed course and turned west.
According to investigators this indicated that the switch-off could have been a deliberate act and officials told ABC News that the two communications devices were 'systematically shut down'.
