BEIJING: The questions raised by family
members of Chinese passengers aboard MH370 during the briefing sessions were
wide-ranging, from the technical aspects of the aircraft to the search and
rescue mission.
They
zoomed in on the details, in desperation to find clues that could solve the
mystery surrounding the aircraft.
One such
question raised yesterday related to the emergency locator transmitters (ELT)
on the aircraft.
“Are there
possibilities of any person climbing out of the aircraft when it is flying at a
height of 10,000m to disable the emergency locator transmitters (ELT)?” a
family member asked the Malaysian officials.
“If two
aircraft are flying parallel to each other, is there a possibility for a person
to climb out of one plane to the other to disable the ELT?”
Another woman
wanted to know if the ELTs have an independent power supply and requested to
see the most recent maintenance report which showed that the batteries for ELTs
have been changed.
A family
member hoped that the team would convey their wish to the search and rescue
team to place priority on land search instead of focusing on the ocean, as the
families still hung on to the hope that the aircraft may have landed somewhere.
The
briefing ended on an amicable note with Royal Malaysian Air Force’s Major
General Affendi Buang thanking the family members for their patience and
cooperation that enabled the two-way communication in a good atmosphere.
