Phones
Now we seem to know what many of us already thought, maybe the
relatives' comments about phones ringing is not so far fetched i.e. passengers disabled by lack of oxygen but phones still going. Many times when I have flown to/from Europe to the Far East I have forgotten to put my phone into flight mode. When I arrive and look at my phone I see messages like - welcome to Poland, welcome to Turkmenistan etc even though all I have ever done is fly across them at 30 odd thousand feet. On the assumption that I am not the only person in the world who forgets to put their phone into flight mode surely the relevant authorities could get the mobile phone records of the passengers and see where they have been. It might not do much good over the Andaman but at least it would support the plane's track over Peninsular Malaysia and possibly southern Thailand or elsewhere. I would like to think they have already done it and are simply keeping quiet but the way this whole thing has been handled leads me to wonder. |
