Missing Flight Mh370 Update! Hijack Story Not True. Acquires Bluefin21

Malaysia's Acting Transport Minister has in the early hours of this morning dismissed suggestions from an opposition newspaper that the American Central Intelligence Agency was involved in the disappearance of Flight MH370 and the rumor that the Missing Flight was hideen in Afghanistan

Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein was speaking after Utusan, a mouthpiece of the Umno party, carried an article which noted: "If the CIA could arrange for the attack on the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, it is not improbable to link MH370 with the intelligence agency."

Hishammuddin told reporters: "At the end of the day, if their report is false, they will lose credibility.

"If there is (CIA involvement), I don’t think we would see such a strong presence of the US here.

Claims that the co-pilot made a phone call before contact was lost with Flight MH370 were denied today.

Malaysia's defence minister and acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said: "As far as I know, no.

"But like I said, that would be in the realm of the police, and the other international agencies.

 And when the time comes, that would be revealed," the Telegraph reported.

With no pings detected from the missing flight's black boxes for nearly a week, the search area has been massively expanded.

Today's search was in an area nearly 40% larger than the search area yesterday.

It is already the most expensive in aviation history, with no sign of the plane yet.

The team has however acquire a new and more effective search engine called the Blue fin 21

Bluefin -21 is a probe equipped with side-scan sonar. Such technology uses acoustic sounds to create a picture of the sea floor.

After emitting a sound the submarine then waits to receive a response, before calculating the distance from those results.

The bottom of the search area now being combed, while extremely deep - some 4,500m - it is not especially mountainous.

That said, despite the area being generally flat experts have warned that the search is a long and painstaking process.
