Revealed: the final 54 minutes of communication from MH370

What we have here is MH370 radio communications with ATC that were broadcast over radio waves. Still worth a quick look.

The actual cockpit communication aboard MH370 would be quite interesting indeed. Those are to be found on the CVR (possibly) if and when they're recovered, and if and when they recorded properly and if and when the investigators can get useable recordings from the recovered CVR equipment. Some day.

I know absolutely nothing about the systems on a 777, but, for those who do, is there any way that there could have been a gradual loss of cabin pressure rather than a catastrophic event? Anyone who's ever experienced oxygen deprivation knows that the effects are insidious, and one of the symptoms can be poor, even bizarre, decision making.

Quote from CNN

Britain's The Telegraph obtained what it reported to be the transcript of exchanges between copilot Fariq Abdul Hamid and air traffic controllers from before the flight took off until the final transmission.
"MH370, please contact Ho Chi Minh City 120.9, good night," is the last message from Kuala Lumpur air traffic control to the flight, according to a translated page of the document posted online by The Telegraph.
"All right, good night," was the response at 1:19 a.m. local time. That was the last communication before the plane's transponder stopped working.
CNN was unable to immediately verify the authenticity of the transcript. The Telegraph reported that the Malaysian government declined to release it.
