Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 deliberately flown towards India’s Andaman Islands: military radar
MALAYSIA Airlines Flight MH370 was deliberately flown across Malaysia towards the Andaman Islands, military radar-tracking reportedly suggests.
Two sources told Reuters that an unidentified aircraft that is believed to be the Malaysia Airlineas’ Flight MH370 was following a route between navigational waypoints — indicating it was being flown by someone with aviation training — when it was last plotted on military radar off Malaysia’s northwest coast.
The military radar’s tracking system last plotted the unidentified plane heading towards India’s Andaman Islands, a chain of isles between the Andaman Sea and the Bay of Bengal.
Waypoints are geographic locations, found by calculating longitude and latitude, that help pilots navigate along established air corridors.
