Co-pilot of missing plane tried to make call from his phone after plane vanished but 'was abruptly cut off'

The Malaysian plane has not been found 35 days after it
went missing and according to new reports, the co-pilot of
the missing flight tried to make a desperate call from his
mobile phone after the aircraft went missing but was
abruptly cut off...
UK Daily Mail reports
Investigators have learned the call was made from a
mobile phone which belonged to Fariq Abdul Hamid
(left) as the Boeing 777 flew low near the island of
Penang, on the north of Malaysia's west coast. It
was understood the aircraft, with 239 people on
board, was flying low enough for the nearest
telecommunications tower to pick up Fariq's signal.
The call ended abruptly. However, contact was
definitely established with a telecommunications
sub-station in Penang state. Experts have said it is
possible for a mobile phone to be connected to a
telecommunications tower at an altitude of 7,000 feet
- which is low for a large jet like the Boeing 777
unless it was flying at high speed to maintain height.
Yesterday it looked like the black box may had been
located deep in the Indian Ocean.
