“the last voice communication from the crew occurred at 1:19 a.m., and at 1:21 a.m. the plane’s transponder, which communicated with air-traffic control, was switched off, just as the plane was about to enter vietnamese airspace over the south china sea at 1:30 a.m.
“malaysian military and civilian radar began tracking the plane as it turned around and then flew southwest over the malay peninsula.
“after crossing the peninsula, the plane turned northwest over the strait of malacca. at 2:22 a.m. malaysian military radar lost contact with the plane over the Andaman Sea.
“an inmarsat satellite in geostationary orbit over the indian ocean received hourly signals from flight 370 and detected the plane for the final time at 8:11 a.m.”
