Indonesia search team to float AirAsia fuselage-AFP | Updated: January 24, 2015-astro awani
JAKARTA:Indonesian salvage teams launched an operation to raise the fuselage of AirAsia Flight 8501 from the sea bed on Saturday as they recovered four more bodies from the wreckage of the crashed jet.The bid came a day after divers were able to enter the main section of the jet, which crashed in the Java Sea last month, for the first time.Difficult weather conditions for the past week had stopped rescuers reaching the main part of the Airbus A320-200 since it was spotted on the seabed by a military vessel earlier this month."We have begun the operation today to lift the main body and we hope we can float it today," S.B. Supriyadi, a rescue agency official, told AFP.Just after dawn Saturday, divers began descending to the sea floor to tie floatation bags to the fuselage, said Rasyid Kacong, the navy official overseeing the lifting operation from onboard the Banda Aceh warship.But the team failed to float the main body on the first attempt, as the ropes snapped off before the fuselage could be brought to the surface."We are now trying again and it is in the process," Kacong said.Four bodies believed to have come from inside the fuselage were retrieved as the team tried to lift the main section, bringing the total bodies recovered to 69, officials said.The previous day, a jumble of wires and seats floating inside the fuselage prevented the divers from entering further to find more bodies."The divers said it was dark inside, the seats where floating about and the wires were like a tangled yarn," Supriyadi said.The rescuers hope that once the fuselage is lifted, it will be easier to inspect the inside of the main body and retrieve more bodies, he added.The jet's black boxes -- the cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder -- were recovered last week, and investigators are analysing them.Flight QZ8501 went down on December 28 in stormy weather, during what was supposed to be a short trip from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore. There were 162 people on board.Indonesian Transport Minister Ignasius Jonan said this week that the plane climbed abnormally fast before stalling and plunging into the sea.Just moments before the plane disappeared off the radar, the pilot had asked to climb to avoid a major storm but was not immediately granted permission due to heavy air traffic.
MH370: Govt hopes to strike out suit by passenger's sons-Bernama | Updated: January 16, 2015
The court has set Feb 17 for the case management of a suit filed by two sons of a passenger who claimed that the Malaysian Government, MAS, the DCA and RMAF, among other defendants, had been negligent in handling the MH370 case.-astro awani
KUALA LUMPUR: The Government of Malaysia will file an application to strike out a suit filed by two sons of a passenger on MAS Flight MH370 which has had to be traced since going missing on March 8 last year.Senior Federal Counsel Kamal Azira Hassan told this to reporters after the case was mentioned in the chambers of Judge Datuk Rosnaini Saub."We have yet to file the application to strike out the suit but have informed the court on the matter," said Kamal Azira.Kamal Azira said the court had set Feb 17 for case management. The government filed its defence statement last month.The proceedings today was also attended by counsel Datuk Dr S. Arunan, representing the two brothers as plaintiffs.On Oct 31, the two brothers aged 12 and 14 years through their mother, Ng Pearl Ming, 39, filed the suit and named Malaysian Airlines System Berhad (MAS), Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) director-general, Immigration Department director-general, Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) chief and the Government of Malaysia as defendants.In their statement of claim, the brothers alleged that their father, Jee Jing Hang, 41, a passenger of MH370 aircraft, had entered into a flight contract agreement with MAS on their flight from Kuala Lumpur at 12.41 midnight and was expected to land in Beijing at 6.30am on March 8.The plaintiffs alleged that through the agreement, MAS as the first defendant should have taken all necessary steps to ensure the flight was safe but had breached the agreement when it failed to land in Beijing and there were no details on the last moments of the plane till today.Apart from that, the plaintiffs also named the DCA director-general as the second defendant as the party responsible for air traffic control to ensure the flight was safe, but failed to take adequate measures to communicate and track the flight with radar.The brothers also claimed that the Immigration Department had failed and was negligent in conducting detailed inspections on the aircraft's passengers who boarded the plane using forged identification.They also alleged RMAF had failed and was negligent in scrambling a plane to identify an unscheduled aircraft appearing in RMAF's radar system (on March 8) which could have been the MH370 aircraft.Both plantiffs, among others, are claiming compensation from all defendants on the loss of their father who was a businessman with a monthly income of RM16,865 and additional compensation for the suffering endured by them.MH370 was carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, when it disappeared from the radar screen about one hour after departing KL International Airport on the day of the incident.Efforts to find the aircraft is still going on in the Indian Ocean.
Ten months on, Australia confident of finding MH370-AFP | Updated: January 16, 2015-astro awani
SYDNEY: Missing airliner MH370 is "very likely" to be found if it lies in the vast undersea zone now being scoured, and is probably in good condition despite being submerged for 10 months, the Australian search chief told AFP.Three vessels, with a fourth on the way, are probing the depths of the Indian Ocean off western Australia where the Malaysian Airlines plane carrying 239 people, mostly Chinese, is believed to have crashed.The jet disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 last year, and apart from some mysterious satellite "pings" believed to plot its southern course, no sign of it has been found despite a massive air and sea operation.Relatives of those on board have endured a long wait for answers on what happened to their loved ones, with their torment reawakened by AirAsia Flight QZ8501 crashing into the sea off Indonesia on December 28.So far, one quarter of the priority underwater search area of 60,000 square kilometres (23,166 square miles) has been checked, while a wider zone of 208,000 square kilometres has been mapped."Our satellite calculations gave us an area we determined was high priority," Martin Dolan, the chief commissioner of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which is leading the search, told AFP."In this 60,000 square kilometres, it's very likely we will find the aircraft, but we don't know exactly where. We just have to cover that area thoroughly until we find the aircraft."The priority search began in early October and will accelerate over the next few months as weather conditions improve, with the hunt expected to wrap up in May.If the jet is not found, a decision on extending the investigation would be made by Australia and Malaysia, which have jointly shouldered the cost.
Undersea revelations
Dolan said mapping had led to the discovery of previously unknown undersea features such as mountains, volcanoes, chasms and a rough, uneven sea floor, highlighting the challenges.To take a closer look at the complex terrain, the Australian and Malaysian governments said Wednesday they were jointly funding the fourth ship, Fugro Supporter, to join the probe later this month.While the other three vessels -- Fugro Equator, Fugro Discovery and GO Phoenix -- use sophisticated sonar systems attached to tow cables up to 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) long, the Supporter will have an autonomous underwater vehicle."(It) can be programmed and cover areas much more thoroughly. It's of course a lot slower," Dolan said, adding that about five percent of the search area needed the closer scrutiny."We need to go slow so that we can be 100 percent sure that we have covered that area totally."
No oxygen, no decay
The underwater probe is taking place in treacherous surface conditions with waves as high as 12 metres (39 feet). Authorities believe the plane may be sitting on the ocean floor at depths of 4,000-metres.But the deep sea plays an important role in preserving the aircraft if that was its resting place, Dolan said."At the likely depth we think the aircraft is, around about 4,000 metres below the sea surface, there's very little going on there... that's likely to affect the components of the aircraft we are looking for," he said."The second is that down there there's very little or no oxygen, so there's not anything in the way of oxidisation or decay going on with aircraft parts."The sonar equipment we are using means that -- even if there's an amount of silt or other things -- we can still locate the aircraft parts."We are confident there's going to be enough visible parts of the aircraft for us to be able to detect it."Authorities have drawn up a recovery plan if the plane is found.The proposal, which is still being assessed, would use technology and techniques similar to those deployed to recover Air France flight AF447, Dolan said.The French flag carrier, including its "black box" flight data recorder, was hauled from the Atlantic nearly two years after it crashed en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on June 1, 2009, killing all 228 on board.Some Aus$120 million (US$98 million) has so far been jointly committed by Australia and Malaysia to fund the search."We are confident that if we are looking in the right area -- as we think we are -- we will find the aircraft," Dolan said."It's just that it's a very large area, so it's going to take a long time."
Netherlands to pursue 'thorough investigation' into downed MH17 flight-Bernama | Updated: January 22, 2015-astro awani
NEW YORK: The Netherlands is to pursue a 'thorough investigation' into the cause of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine in July, last year.This was stated Tuesday by Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders during an event held at the International Peace Institute in New York where he delivered a lecture on the 'United Nations at 70', highlighting its constructive and useful role in all spheres of world affairs but also calling for reforms.A total of 298 passengers, 196 of them Dutch, and crew were killed when the aircraft was shot down on July 17 while on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur."2014 was difficult for the world community. With the MH17 tragedy, the Kingdom of Netherlands experienced in a direct way how intertwined today’s global crises are. Foreign affairs have become terribly personal for many of my compatriots."We lost almost 200 (Dutch) citizens but also many families around the world (lost their beloved ones). We are still working hard with all those who facilitate the investigation whose aim is to hold those responsible to account," Koenders said while addressing the packed IPI auditorium.But, he added, the incident also revealed that in his country, like in many other countries, that “international crises can touch individual citizens even far away”, making internal and foreign policy become more than ever inter-related.Asked to explain the official position of the Dutch Government on the MH17 downing and whether it had been determined who or what caused the downing of the plane, Koenders told Bernama that a 'thorough investigation' was under way.Describing the question as 'very, very important', Koenders said that the answer to this question had to be done in a 'very professional way that shows that we take this investigation of this shooting down very seriously'.Koenders replied at length to this correspondent as he said that he was unable to pinpoint at this point who was responsible for the shooting down of the MH17 plane."We have an investigation team that has worked intensively in the Ukraine as also in The Hague in close cooperation with other countries in a so-called joint investigation team ... the countries are Australia, Malaysia ... and also, obviously, we had to work with the Ukraine to get the wreckage, and getting all.that access was very complex."And as we speak, there is an independent investigation that takes place in the context of this cooperation with other countries, run, primarily, by a Netherlands-based independent group which has a Dutch structure but also has cooperation with other countries," he said, adding that the group hopes to provide its findings in a report later this year.This would make it 'very clear' on the basis of a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened and provide proof that is without any reasonable doubt."That takes a little time to be very clear so that we can, hopefully, ascertain without any doubt the responsibility (of the perpetrators)...But the Dutch foreign minister, who said that it was an enormous task getting hold of the aircraft wreckage and collating all the information from around the world, also emphasised the importance of the legal process to bring those responsible for shooting down of the plane to justice."I want to underline the importance of the fact that the shooting down of the plane has been also part of discussions in the Security Council. We do this in a completely objective way, that is why it is important to mention this so that we can in a second part, in the legal process, ensure that those who are responsible for this are in front of a judge at some point of time -- better sooner than later," Koenders said.A United Nations official, insisting on anonymity, told Bernama that the MH17 issue was a big domestic issue in the Netherlands. He also said that this issue would be raised in the meeting between Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.Koenders also dwelt on the reform of the UN saying that while the UN was a 'beacon of hope', there was also need for it to adapt to the changing world. For one, the UNSC needed to address conflicts and should change, he said.But Koenders said that the veto rights should be curbed, saying that it was necessary to publicly explain whenever a veto was exercised.The Dutch foreign minister emphasised stronger use of diplomacy and dialogue in conflict situations, saying that the conflicting parties had to talk.

Authorities believe the plane may be sitting on the ocean floor at depths of 4,000-metres.But the deep sea plays an important role in preserving the aircraft if that was its resting place, Dolan said."At the likely depth we think the aircraft is, around about 4,000 metres below the sea surface, there's very little going on there... that's likely to affect the components of the aircraft we are looking for," he said."The second is that down there there's very little or no oxygen, so there's not anything in the way of oxidisation or decay going on with aircraft parts."The sonar equipment we are using means that -- even if there's an amount of silt or other things -- we can still locate the aircraft parts."We are confident there's going to be enough visible parts of the aircraft for us to be able to detect it."Authorities have drawn up a recovery plan if the plane is found.The proposal, which is still being assessed, would use technology and techniques similar to those deployed to recover Air France flight AF447, Dolan said.The French flag carrier, including its "black box" flight data recorder, was hauled from the Atlantic nearly two years after it crashed en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris on June 1, 2009, killing all 228 on board.Some Aus$120 million (US$98 million) has so far been jointly committed by Australia and Malaysia to fund the search."We are confident that if we are looking in the right area -- as we think we are -- we will find the aircraft," Dolan said."It's just that it's a very large area, so it's going to take a long time."
Netherlands to pursue 'thorough investigation' into downed MH17 flight-Bernama | Updated: January 22, 2015-astro awani
NEW YORK: The Netherlands is to pursue a 'thorough investigation' into the cause of the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in eastern Ukraine in July, last year.This was stated Tuesday by Dutch Foreign Minister Bert Koenders during an event held at the International Peace Institute in New York where he delivered a lecture on the 'United Nations at 70', highlighting its constructive and useful role in all spheres of world affairs but also calling for reforms.A total of 298 passengers, 196 of them Dutch, and crew were killed when the aircraft was shot down on July 17 while on a flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur."2014 was difficult for the world community. With the MH17 tragedy, the Kingdom of Netherlands experienced in a direct way how intertwined today’s global crises are. Foreign affairs have become terribly personal for many of my compatriots."We lost almost 200 (Dutch) citizens but also many families around the world (lost their beloved ones). We are still working hard with all those who facilitate the investigation whose aim is to hold those responsible to account," Koenders said while addressing the packed IPI auditorium.But, he added, the incident also revealed that in his country, like in many other countries, that “international crises can touch individual citizens even far away”, making internal and foreign policy become more than ever inter-related.Asked to explain the official position of the Dutch Government on the MH17 downing and whether it had been determined who or what caused the downing of the plane, Koenders told Bernama that a 'thorough investigation' was under way.Describing the question as 'very, very important', Koenders said that the answer to this question had to be done in a 'very professional way that shows that we take this investigation of this shooting down very seriously'.Koenders replied at length to this correspondent as he said that he was unable to pinpoint at this point who was responsible for the shooting down of the MH17 plane."We have an investigation team that has worked intensively in the Ukraine as also in The Hague in close cooperation with other countries in a so-called joint investigation team ... the countries are Australia, Malaysia ... and also, obviously, we had to work with the Ukraine to get the wreckage, and getting all.that access was very complex."And as we speak, there is an independent investigation that takes place in the context of this cooperation with other countries, run, primarily, by a Netherlands-based independent group which has a Dutch structure but also has cooperation with other countries," he said, adding that the group hopes to provide its findings in a report later this year.This would make it 'very clear' on the basis of a thorough investigation to determine exactly what happened and provide proof that is without any reasonable doubt."That takes a little time to be very clear so that we can, hopefully, ascertain without any doubt the responsibility (of the perpetrators)...But the Dutch foreign minister, who said that it was an enormous task getting hold of the aircraft wreckage and collating all the information from around the world, also emphasised the importance of the legal process to bring those responsible for shooting down of the plane to justice."I want to underline the importance of the fact that the shooting down of the plane has been also part of discussions in the Security Council. We do this in a completely objective way, that is why it is important to mention this so that we can in a second part, in the legal process, ensure that those who are responsible for this are in front of a judge at some point of time -- better sooner than later," Koenders said.A United Nations official, insisting on anonymity, told Bernama that the MH17 issue was a big domestic issue in the Netherlands. He also said that this issue would be raised in the meeting between Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak and Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.Koenders also dwelt on the reform of the UN saying that while the UN was a 'beacon of hope', there was also need for it to adapt to the changing world. For one, the UNSC needed to address conflicts and should change, he said.But Koenders said that the veto rights should be curbed, saying that it was necessary to publicly explain whenever a veto was exercised.The Dutch foreign minister emphasised stronger use of diplomacy and dialogue in conflict situations, saying that the conflicting parties had to talk.
