Malaysian authorities said Sunday that they were examining a flight simulator that they’d removed from the home of a pilot who’d captained the missing Malaysia Airlines passenger jet.
Malaysian prime minister says communications aboard Flight MH370 were deliberately disabled.
Malaysian authorities examine pilot’s flight simulator
Police search the homes of the pilots as the Malaysian prime minister says the plane’s disappearance was “deliberate.”
In Crimea’s two main cities, annexation with Russia appears as if it’s already complete.
“We appeal to the public not to jump to conclusions regarding the police investigation,” Malaysia’s acting transport minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, said on Twitter.
Investigators are exploring the backgrounds and recent behavior of the crew and passengers in hopes of establishing a motive that would explain the plane’s mysterious disappearance.
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak had said one day earlier that the plane was deliberately steered off course, its communications systems disabled. The investigation, he said, had “refocused” to look at the crew and passengers, though no motive has yet been established.
Shah, 53, has been a Malaysia Airlines pilot for more than three decades, logging 18,000 hours in the air. There was no indication Saturday that he or his co-pilot had been targeted by investigators.
The search came the same day that Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said the plane’s disappearance was “deliberate” and evidence emerged that it appeared to have flown for seven hours after its radar transponder and satellite uplink went dead, apparently turned off by someone in the cockpit.
Who were the men who flew flight 370
STORY HIGHLIGHTS
- NEW: By the time of last voice contact, something was likely already awry
- U.S. officials indicated the jet may have flown for hours after last contact with the pilots
- Pilot's duties: Aviate, navigate, communicate; communication cut off
- Was a third person with them in the cockpit? One pilot has let visitors in before
Those are the last words heard from the cockpit of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
Who said them? Was it the captain or his first mate? Or someone else in the cockpit with them?
Officials in Washington suspect it was either of the pilots -- and that one or both was involved in MH370's disappearance on March 8.
And according to the Malaysian Prime Minister's account of events, by the time those words were spoken, someone had likely already taken steps to alter the flight's path -- intentionally.
Malaysian investigators are not ruling out a hijacking by other actors. But they have searched the homes of the pilot and co-pilot.
Information from international and Malaysian officials indicate that the Boeing 777-200ER passenger jet may have flown for hours after that last voice contact with the pilots.Malaysia under fresh fire over handling of Malaysia Airlines MH370 crisis

BEIJING (AFP) - China spearheaded fresh criticism on Sunday of Malaysia's handling of a missing airliner drama, saying it "squandered" precious time and resources by releasing dramatic information on the plane's fate a full week after it vanished.
Prime Minister Najib Razak revealed a day earlier that an investigation indicates Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was deliberately diverted and flew for several hours after leaving its intended flight path, though he stopped short of saying it was hijacked.
The startling revelation after a week of confusion and competing theories, prompted questions over how long Malaysian authorities had been privy to the new data, and whether they had missed an opportunity to intercept the diverted plane.
"It is undeniable that the disclosure of such vital information is painfully belated," a scathing editorial by China's state-run Xinhua news agency said, noting the "excruciating" seven days it entailed for relatives of the missing.

600 potential runways for missing MH370 to land
The missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 could have landed in 634 runways after a suspected hijacking. Experts say the disappearance of the aircraft was "well planned and professional". Schoolmates of Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah say the pilot is a gadget geek who would "never compromise his passengers' safety".
