News: Mystery Behind MH370 Search Released

Raw satellite data of whereabouts of missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370 has been released Tuesday, a Malaysian official said.
Malaysia’s Ministry of Transport has published a 47-page article, containing hundreds of lines of communication logs between the jetliner and the British company Inmarsat's satellite system, and detailing how the U.K. firm Inmarsat helped to pinpoint the southern corridor flight path taken by MH370.
The data and information disclosed does not provide the complete picture. However, it is "intended to provide a readable summary of the data communication logs," the notes at the start of the article point out.
The 47-page article reports that Inmarsat informed Malaysia's Ministry of Transport on March 13, 2014 that routine automatic communications between the Inmarsat satellite and MH370 could be used to determine several possible flight paths.
The United Kingdom (U.K.) Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) then presented Inmarsat’s most recent findings on March 24, 2014, indicating the southern corridor.
Malaysian acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein released a statement about the data from satellite company Inmarsat, now also released in full completeness by the U.K. satellite communications firm. Transport Minister Hishammuddin Husseins hinted the MH370 search data release to the press on Monday, as he toured a newly constructed terminal at Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
