Britain’s air accidents investigator has criticised Malaysia Airlines for its lack of proper oversight in preserving flight recordings during an incident at London’s Heathrow Airport in 2012.
A Boeing 747 bound for Kuala Lumpur, carrying 340 passengers, had to return to Heathrow soon after takeoff because of engine and electrical failures on Aug. 17, 2012.
The pilots flew the plane manually and returned to the airport safely.
In a report issued overnight, Britain’s Air Accidents Investigation Branch said all the audio information relating to the incident was lost because the cockpit voice recorder ran on long after the landing. The body said the airline’s “procedures for the preservation of flight recordings were not sufficiently robust.”
The Heathrow incident was not related to Flight MH370, which went missing last month.

Kerismuddin bin lembuddin could do two things for the nation:
(1) wave the keris in UK; or
(2) get a cowhead in UK and stomp on it in front of UK pressmen.
But of course he must remember to ask for urgent fund to pay something like wot? 2000 ringgit to each of may be 200 umno supporters and to pay for their airfare and stay in UK to make up a crowd to cheer him on in UK when he waves the keris or stomp on the cowhead.
OMG i feel sooooooo clever. I deserve rambutans. Hoi mana si celeka apanama oh ya cintanegara tu?

Many years ago, in order to save on costs, MAS did not load up enough fuel to cater for possible holding pattern or diversion to nearby airport. As a result, the plane landed at Heathrow without less than the reserve requirement.
