“I was walking towards my back door when I caught a glimpse of the white light. It was moving towards the sea, towards Bachok area, which was unusual. Usually, aircrafts that fly over here have their usual route pattern, but this one went completely towards the other way……my family members, they advised me to lodge a report, and I hope this information can be of any help.”-Alif Fathi Abdul Hadi
The man reported to the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency that he saw a bright white light at the time MH370 went off radar.
Malaysian civil aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, said that security camera video showed the ‘fake’ passengers looked like black men, describing them as looking like a famous black football (soccer) player.
Rahman said the luggage of the five passengers that skipped the flight after checking in, was ‘clean’: “We removed their baggage. Every piece of baggage was recorded and given a unique serial number so that the correct baggage was removed from the aircraft.”
Chinese news media reporting that Taiwan issued a warning about a possible terrorist attack days before MH370 went missing. The revelation came from China Airlines: “China Airlines on March 4 received a call claiming to provide intelligence on terrorist organizations and which referred to mainland China, saying Beijing airport would see terrorist attacks.”
Taiwan’s National Security Bureau chief, Tsai De-sheng, said China Airlines got a call from a man claiming to be a French anti-terrorism agent. He spoke French but switched to Putonghua when he realized the person on the other end couldn’t understand him.
An update on the cell phone belonging to a passenger that managed to ring after MH370 went missing: It’s now reported that the Singapore phone service provider said the phone stopped ringing not necessarily because of a possible crash, but because it was out of credits. The case of the mysterious cell phone is now part of the investigation.
