The missing Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER was airborne for a total of five hours, according to sources quoted by the Wall Street Journal. The paper quotes unnamed sources claiming U.S. investigators now suspect the aircraft stayed airborne for about four hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location. The WSJ referenced engine data which its sources claim indicates the total flight length. A total flight time of five hours could put the flights final destination at the Indian Ocean, the border of Pakistan or even the Arabian Sea, the WSJ claimed in a tweet. The missing Boeing 777-200ER sent at least two bursts of technical data back to the airline before it disappeared, according to the New Scientist magazine. The Malaysian Insider reports that the data may help investigators understand what went wrong with the aircraft, with no trace of Flight MH370 found since it disappeared early on Saturday morning. In one of the biggest aviation mysteries in memory, dozens of aircraft and vessels from an array of countries, including the US Navy, have failed to find a shred of evidence pointing to the planes fate.
