The continuing silence about the Malaysian airline MH370 Still desperately seeking MH370 29.12.2014 english.pravda.ru/world/asia/29-12-2014/129418-malaysian_airlines_mh_370-0/ NO MENTION OF DIEGO GARCIA Curiously Diego Garcia (7.31 deg S; 72.41 deg E), an atoll of the British Indian Ocean Territory, was never mentioned in public news media as a possible destination of MH370. The only notable exception was the article written by John Chuckman in the April 18, 2014 issue of the Pravda.Ru. Chuckman mentioned Diego Garcia only obliquely in connection with American satellite surveillance capabilities. Why is there such international silence? This atoll is well within the flying range of the missing MH370, shorter than the distance from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The non-stop flying time from Palau Langkawi to Diego Garcia would have been about 5 hours. In 1971, indigenous Chagossians were summarily evicted by the British Government so that the 1966 lease of the atoll, perhaps in perpetuity, could be activated by the United States Government for the construction of a military base. Public record shows that the atoll has become one of largest military bases in the World today. INFRA-LEGAL INTERROGATION AND DETENTION FACILITIES The clandestine military-related activities including infra-legal interrogation and detention facilities are shrouded in extreme secrecy by both the US and British governments under the guise of national security. It is also generally known that Diego Garcia is heavily fortified with the most advanced military armament and surveillance technologies. Any prospective intruders by sea or air would have been detected instantaneously, perhaps even at a distance of many thousands of kilometres away, by omnipresent military reconnaissance ships, aircrafts and satellites. The radar signature of MH370 would have been very distinguishable; the dimensions of a Boeing 777-200ER are 64 metres long, 6 metres diameter and 61 metres wingspan. It would thus be improbable that the flight path of MH 370 could have gone undetected for many hours after its abrupt change of flight path in the Gulf of Thailand. In essence, everything that moves on Earth today is monitored actively by several competing military powers.
