The 4 theories behind MH370 vanishing – including chilling ‘ghost dive’ | World | News

When is the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 Disappearing without a trace more than a decade ago, it sparked one of aviation’s most baffling mysteries. Despite numerous searches, investigators still don’t know exactly what happened to the plane or its 239 passengers and crew.

The Malaysian government announced on Wednesday (December 3) that US marine robotics firm Ocean Infinity Continue seabed search for missing plane On December 30, hopes were reignited that the plane might finally be found. The Boeing 777 disappeared from air traffic radar 39 minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur towards Beijing on March 8, 2014.

A number of theories have since developed about how and why the jet disappeared, some wilder than others.

A fire, loss of pressure, or other sudden event could have rendered the crew and passengers unconscious as the jet flew on autopilot until it ran out of fuel.

The pilot’s final radio call to Kuala Lumpur – “Good night, Malaysian Three Seven Zero” – was the last communication before the plane could cross into Vietnamese airspace and check in with controllers there.

Minutes after takeoff, the plane’s transmitter broadcasting its location shut down. Military radar showed the jet returning over the Andaman Sea, and satellite data showed the plane continued flying for hours before crashing into a remote area in the southern Indian Ocean.

This theory is supported by hourly “ping” arc signals between aircraft and satellites, according to Aerospace Global News. The absence of radio communication and the flight path being consistent with the autopilot would also support the theory.

Some experts suggested that the plane was driven off course by the pilot or someone else in the cockpit and flew into a remote part of the Indian Ocean.

They point out that there was no distress call from the plane, the difficulty of attributing navigation to a system failure, and the presence of a route ending in the Indian Ocean on the captain’s home computer.

The Independent Group alleges that Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah took the jet off course before waiting for the fuel to run out or steering the plane directly into the sea.

However, Malaysian investigators cleared the passengers and crew in 2018 but did not rule out “illegal interference”. Authorities claimed someone deliberately interrupted communications and diverted the plane.

In her book The Disappearing Act: The Impossible Case of MH370, journalist Florence de Changy argues that the plane was shot down by the United States to prevent secret technology from reaching China.

He claims that the US tried to divert the plane, but when that failed the plane was shot down. Sun.

Another crazy idea circulating on social media was that North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un ordered the hijacking of the jet because he wanted to benefit from its technology.

Another strange theory is that the Kremlin was behind the disappearance. Aviation expert Jeff Wise told Channel 5 in 2019 that Russia “got a lot of heat” over its illegal annexation of Crimea in 2014.

He claimed: “This is getting a lot of attention and I would really like people to talk about something else. And so the world’s attention is completely diverted from this disgusting business in Ukraine.”

Some experts have suggested that MH370 disappeared due to a mechanical or electrical fault that disabled equipment used for communications and navigation.

Aerospace Global News He reported that he complied with the idea that the plane returning to Malaysia was forced due to such a failure.

But the same publication notes that this idea does not explain why the plane followed a “long, steady” flight path, unless the crew later became “incapacitated” in some way.
