What Really Happened to Flight MH370?

The mystery surrounding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370's disappearance is one of the top aviation mysteries. After discovering no sign of the aircraft, Malaysia, China, and Australia suspended a two-year, A$200 million undersea search in the southern Indian Ocean in January 2017. The puzzle of what caused a commercial airline carrying hundreds of passengers to vanish without a trace. Here, we'll talk about various conspiracies and ideas in an effort to determine the truth what really happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

On March 8, 2014, at 12.42 am, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, carrying 239 passengers including 12 crew members, departed Kuala Lumpur for Beijing, China.

But when it flew over the South China Sea toward Beijing at 1.21 a.m., the aircraft lost touch with the Kuala Lumpur Area Control Center.

Before that, according to Malaysian police, the last spoken words from the aircraft were "Good night Malaysian three seven zero," possibly from the captain or co-pilot.

When the fuel would have run out, the aircraft may have continued to fly for another seven hours, according to satellite pings.

The most likely crash site, according to experts, is around 1,000 miles west of Perth, Australia, but a thorough search of the area did not find any wreckage.

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER departed Kuala Lumpur at 12:42 in the morning of March 8, 2014, turned toward Beijing, and ascended to its designated cruising altitude of 35,000 feet. Malaysia Airlines' abbreviation is MH. The flight had the 370 number. The pilot of the aircraft was the first officer, Fariq Hamid. He was 27 at the time. His final training flight before earning his full certification was this one. He was trained by the pilot in charge, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, one of Malaysia Airlines' most senior captains at the age of 53.

There were ten Malaysian flight attendants in the cabin. They had 227 people, including 5 kids, to take care of. The majority of the passengers were Chinese; 38 of the remaining passengers were Malaysian, and the others were from other nations. That evening, Captain Zaharie ran the radio while First Officer Fariq piloted the aircraft. The configuration was typical. The signals from Zaharie were a little strange. He radioed that they had levelled off at 35,000 feet at 1:10 in the morning, which was unnecessary in radar-surveilled airspace where it is usual to report departing an altitude rather than arriving at one. The jet left Malaysia at 1:08 and began its journey across the South China Sea toward Vietnam. At 35,000 feet, Zaharie once more reported the plane's level.

Eleven minutes later, the controller at Kuala Lumpur Center radioed, "Malaysian three-seven-zero, contact Ho Chi Minh one-two-zero-decimal-nine. The aircraft is approaching a waypoint near the beginning of Vietnamese air traffic jurisdiction. Good night. "Good night," Zaharie said in response. Three-seven-zero Malaysian The broadcast sounded OK, but he neglected to read back the frequency as he ought to have. The world had not heard from MH370 since. Ho Chi Minh never received a verification from the pilots, and no further attempts to reach them were ever successful.

The sign for MH370's transponder vanished from Malaysian air traffic control screens five seconds after it entered Vietnamese airspace, and the entire aircraft vanished from secondary radar 37 seconds later. It was 39 minutes after takeoff at 1:21 a.m.

Meanwhile, the Vietnamese air traffic controllers witnessed MH370 enter their territory before vanish from radar. They appear to have misread a contractual agreement that stated Ho Chi Minh was to notify Kuala Lumpur right away if an aeroplane that had been handed off was more than five minutes late checking in. They made numerous unsuccessful attempts to get in touch with the plane. 18 minutes had gone since MH370 vanished from their radar screens by the time they decided to contact Kuala Lumpur.
