Emirates CEO's Persistet Questioning Of MH370

I was watching History Channel's 2 hour documentary on MH370 last nite.  It is just difficult to say what happened to the FLIGHT. There is this guy, the  Emirates CEO Sir Tim Clark who has been leading the charge asking pointed questions about MH370.

Emirates CEO Sir Tim Clark has questioned the role of the Malaysian military after MH370 disappeared on March 8 this year, carrying 239 persons , including six Australians.

Emirates CEO Sir Tim Clark believes MH370 information is being withheld
       
The chief executive of Emirates believes information on missing aircraft MH370 is being withheld by authorities.
 

This was revealed in a formerly unpublished full transcript of an interview conducted by well-known aviation journalist Andreas Spaeth, which has been made available on the Sydney Morning Herald.
 

Sir Tim Clark further questioned the role of the Malaysian military after the MALAYSIAN AIRLINES flight disappeared on March 8 this year carrying 239 persons , including six Australians, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

'I think we will know more if there is full transparency of everything that everybody knows. I do not believe that the information held by some is on the table,' he said in the interview.
 

'Who actually disabled ACARS [the plane's Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System], who knew how to do it?
 

'If you eliminate the pilot on a suicide mission, I'm sure you could have put the aircraft in the South China Sea, instead than fly it for seven hours. So if he was on a suicide mission, he would have done it then. Who then took control of the aircraft? Who then knew how to disable ACARS and turn the transponder off? That is a huge confront .'
 

When asked whether he can comprehend the mysterious disappearance of a plane in this day and age, Sir Clark responded:
 

'Therein lies this huge question mark in my mind. I know this did not have to happen, there is technology to track these aircraft and everybody will say that, Boeing or Airbus.
 

'That is where the conundrum is of mystery, that is where we must be more forthright and candid as to what went on, it is not good enough for the Malaysian military to say : "On a prime radar we identified it as 'friendly'".'
 

Sir Tim added the role of the Malaysian military has been 'bizarre'.
 

'This is a very busy part of Southeast Asia, the notion that we should not be able to identify if it is friend or foe, or we can on first radar and do nothing about it, is bizarre,' he said .
 

'What would have happened if the aircraft would have turned back to fly into the Petronas Towers in Kuala Lumpur? But we identified it as "friendly"? Friendly with intent, or friendly without intent? But what was done? These are the questions that need to be asked of the persons and the entities that were involved in all of this. Full transparency of that will help us to find out what went on.'
 

Sir Tim also asserted that 'control was taken of' MALAYSIAN AIRLINES flight MH370 before it vanished.
 

Sir Tim said it was very significant that the airline industry does not accept that the fate of MH370 is an 'unexplained mystery'.
 

'it might then make an appearance on National Geographic as one of aviation's great mysteries. We mustn't enable this to happen. We must know what caused that airplane to disappear,' Sir Tim said .
 

chief executive of Emirates said the industry must not accept MH370's a 'mystery'

arc is possible points the last communication with  satellite could have taken place
