Was Malaysia 370 Shot Down By the Malaysian Air Force?

CNN Report: "Malaysian air force search aircraft were scrambled about 8 a.m. March 8, hours after the plane lost contact with air-traffic controllers and disappeared from radar but soon after Malaysia Airlines reported that its plane was missing, Malaysian sources told CNN. The aircraft took off before authorities corroborated data indicating that the plane turned back westward and found no trace, a senior Malaysian government official told CNN. In addition, the air force did not inform the Department of Civil Aviation or search and rescue operations until three days later, March 11, a source involved in the investigation told CNN." While they claim that they did not know about the turn west it seems clear that they lied about a lot as will be discussed later. On Figure 1 the axis term is MALAYSIA 370.  At the same skip are the words FIGHTER and TARGET. The name of the tall twin towers in Kuala Lumpur is Manara Petronas. The word MENARA is parallel to and in the next column to MALAYSIA 370 and the terms touch. Figure 2 shows the same terms but is expanded from 435 letters to 812 letters to show a transliteration of ISLAM at skip +1, although the S letter is spelled with a sin/shin rather than the normally preferred samech.

THE LOGIC IN FAVOR OF A SHOOT DOWN BY THE MALAYSIAN AIR FORCE. In the post 911 era, any threat against high visibility targets like the Menara Petronas Towers must be taken serious. In fact, the day after the World Trade Centers were destroyed in New York, there was a bomb threat that required evacuating the Petronas Towers.

        Certainly the Malaysian Government has continued to change its story. Originally the last words of the flight were by co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid, who said, “All right, goodnight.” But later the speaker and words were the pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shaw who said, "Goodnight Malaysian Three Seven Zero." No further transcript of the conversation has been released. Further, the co-pilot tried to make a cell phone call when the plane descended to low altitude. The signal was picked up in Penang about 250 miles from where the transponder was turned off. As is shown on Figure 3, Penang is home to Royal Malaysian Air Force's Butterworth Air Base where F-18 and F-5 interceptor fighters are located. If they received a call from the co-pilot, perhaps with a coded word about the pilot going crazy, they would likely have decided to shoot the aircraft down. After all, that is what our Air Force was ready to do on 911, but we had no planes ready to do it that were located in the right place to get it done.

       What about the black box and pings received in the Indian Ocean? They have been up to hundreds of miles apart, or as little as 17 miles apart. The transponder can only be heard about a mile away. Some of the signals heard were close to but not at the required 37.5 kHz. If the Malaysian Government decided to cover up the shoot down because they were afraid of the financial consequences and military consequencces (see Figure 5 for information about territorial disputes between China and Malaysia) they could have seeded areas far away from the area of concern with pingers designed to mislead searchers long enough to get past the expected 30-day life expectancy of the transponder. As I write this it is 42 days since the flight went missing.

STATISTICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF FIGURES 1 AND 2. As per my standard protocol, no statistical significance is assigned to the axis term, here MALAYSIA 370 at its 5th lowest ELS in unwrapped Torah (only one computer pass through Torah was needed to find these matrices). The a-priori terms found on Figure 1 were FIGHTER, TARGET, and MENARA. For FIGHTER three synonymns were checked. I always look first for special case skips (+/- 1 or the absolute skip of the axis term). FIGHTER (the term also means warrior) was found at a special case skip against odds of about 88 to 1 on Figure 1's area of 435 letters. Odds against it being found this way on the 812-letter Figure 2 were about 47 to 1. Types of fighters that might have shot down the airliner are shown on Figure 3 with the top suspects being F-18s or F-5s out of Butterworth Air Force Base at Penang in Malaysia because that base was closest to the last reported position of the airliner after it turned off its transponder. TARGET was also found at the skip of the axis term. Odds against it being at a special case skip were about 176 to 1 on Figure 1 and 94 to 1 on Figure 2. Although parallel to the axis term, MENARA was not found at a special case skip. It was found at an ELS on Figure 1 against odds of about 7 to 1, and on Figure 2 at about 2 to 1. Overall odds against Figure 1 being found by chance were about 21,854 to 1. Was it worth expanding Figure 1 from 435 letters to the 812 letters shown on Figure 2 to include a non-standard spelling of ISLAM?  No. Although the odds against finding this term at its best case scenario (skip +1) were about 42 to 1, the larger matrix caused the statistical value of other terms mentioned earlier to drop. The overall odds against Figure 2 were about  20,693. So it had less statistical value than Figure 1. 

       Earlier matrices that I found about this about this flight were based on a question about whether the destination was Somalia, and they were also based around the pilot’s name. See the pilot matrices and also the earlier matrices which discuss the issue of this plane crashing into the sea.
