MH370: New evidence of cockpit tampering as investigation into missing plane continues - Telegraph
The Australian report revealed attempted log on at 2.25am, three minutes after it was detected by Malaysian military radar, as the plane was flying north of Sumatra.
David Gleave from Loughborough University said the interruption to the power supply appeared to be the result of someone in the cockpit attempting to minimise the use of the aircraft's systems... consistent with an attempt to turn the plane's communications and other systems off in an attempt to avoid radar detection.
Inmarsat has confirmed the assessment but says it does not know why the aircraft experienced a power failure.
Peter Marosszeky, U of NSW ... the power interruption must have been intended ... would not have caused an entire power failure but would have involved a "conscious" attempt to remove power from selected systems on the plane ... The aircraft has so many backup systems. Any form of power interruption is always backed up by another system. It would have to be a deliberate act to hijack or sabotage the aircraft.
