CNN) -- New information from the Thai government bolsters the belief that missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took a sharp westward turn after communication was lost.
The Thai military was
receiving normal flight path and communication data from the Boeing
777-200 on its planned March 8 route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing until
1:22 a.m., when it disappeared from its radar.
Six minutes later, the
Thai military detected an unknown signal, a Royal Thai Air Force
spokesman told CNN. This unknown aircraft, possibly Flight 370, was
heading the opposite direction.
The latest findings say the plane's last known location detected by a
satellite is somewhere along two wide arcs: one stretching north over
Asia and the other south into the Indian Ocean. The plane's last
electronic connection with the satellite was about six hours after it
last showed up on Malaysian military radar.
"This is an enormous search area," Hishammuddin said. "And it is
something that Malaysia cannot possibly search on its own. I am
therefore very pleased that so many countries have come forward to offer
assistance and support to the search and rescue operation."
