Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia- It has been a month since Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 went missing and it has since spawned various theories.
The pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid became under fire as theories of conspiracy link them as culprits on the missing plane. Still, there has been no development on the search. Various countries in Asia, US, Europe and Australia organized search teams to find the missing Booeing 777 that carried 239 passengers and crew, but to no avail.
Another update arrived; though it could not provide any significant update on the plight of the missing MH370.
The plane's co-pilot Fariq Adbul Hamid reportedly attempted to make a mid-flight call from his mobile phone before the plane became unreachable from radar screens.
A source from the New Straits Times said that investigators were able to detect Fariq's call but it ended shortly because "the aircraft was fast moving away from the telecommunications tower", the Malaysian daily quoted from the source.
In the article, "desperate call for help", the NST reported that Fariq Hamid's line "was reattached"; however, there was no certainly that the call was indeed made from the missing MH370. It was also not clear who Fariq called when he made the phone call.
"Reattached" meant the phone either made a call or turned on between the times the plane changed course and "blipped off the radar," NST quoted another source
The government news network said that MH370 flew low enough near Penang Island on Malaysia's west coast after it veered off course that made the telecommunications tower pick-up the co-pilot's phone signal.
While this may seem another update on the missing plane, it can barely provide any whereabouts on the MH370's mysterious disappearance.
Authorities claim earlier that the co-pilot reportedly said the last words, "all right...good night" from the cockpit before the plane went missing.
Last week, two more signals were detected by Australian vessel, Ocean field at the search site along the Indian Ocean as it was believed to be coming from the black box of the plane. Authorities have narrowed down the area to trace the pings detected by the sound locator.
