Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777. Why the Boeing that disappeared over the Indian Ocean will never be found. The plane was being controlled manually at the time.
The Malaysian government does not rule out the involvement of a third party in the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200, which was operating flight MH370. This was announced during the presentation of the final report on the investigation into the disaster. It was also determined that air traffic controllers in Malaysia and Vietnam did not work well, which led to the search for debris and rescue operation started much later than they should have. The investigators failed to achieve their main goal—to establish the circumstances of the crash—since this requires the wreckage of the plane.
The plane was being controlled manually at the time.
The Malaysian government has published the final report on the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200. According to the final document, the government cannot exclude the possibility of a third party being involved in the disaster. As the head of the Malaysian commission investigating the crash, Kok Soo Chong, said, at the same time there is no evidence that the ship was controlled by anyone other than the pilots.The investigation also refutes the conspiracy theory that control of the plane was intercepted remotely to thwart the hijacking of the aircraft by terrorists.
According to the head of the commission, it was confirmed that the plane suddenly changed course shortly before the crash. “He began to turn around, and not because of some kind of equipment failure and not in autopilot mode. The plane was being controlled manually at that moment,” he said.
However, the authorities cannot answer why exactly the Malaysian Boeing went missing. According to Chon, "the reasons can only be determined if debris is found."
Air traffic controllers failed to work properly
The report's emphasis was not on the circumstances of the incident, but on what mistakes were made and what guidelines were not followed during the ship's flight. In particular, the actions of Malaysian and Vietnamese air traffic controllers have drawn serious criticism. When the ship moved from one air zone to another, air traffic controllers were unable to work properly, the document notes.In particular, they did not sound the alarm immediately as soon as the plane disappeared from radar. The investigation revealed that only two attempts were made to contact the ship from the ground, four and five hours later. The search and rescue operations, accordingly, began later than they could have.
The aircraft itself was in satisfactory mechanical condition, and the pilot and first officer “appeared to be experiencing no problems in their personal lives that would affect their ability or desire to fly the aircraft,” the report said.
As Grace Nathan, the daughter of one of the women on board, said after a closed briefing for relatives of the crash victims, the families of the victims hope that in the future the experience of this airliner will be taken into account and the prevention of similar mistakes will help avoid such tragedies. In general, the relatives were very upset by the results of the investigation: they complained that the document did not say anything new, and the relatives could not ask questions, since the final report was not read by the same people who compiled it. As a result, the closed briefing escalated into a loud altercation.
There were 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board the plane
Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200, flying MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, disappeared from radar screens on the night of March 8, 2014. It took off from the airport at 00:42 Malaysia time, after which the flight continued as normal for about 40 minutes. The last communication session with the crew occurred at 01:19, when the airliner was moving from the area of responsibility of the Malaysian controllers to the Vietnamese ones.The last thing the pilots said to their Malaysian colleagues was: “ Good night" Two minutes after this, the transponders transmitting information about the aircraft’s location and its identification data turned off, and the very next minute the Boeing disappeared from the radar screens of air traffic control services.
For about seven more hours after disappearing from radar, the plane remained in the air, radically deviating from the planned route. Only in the morning, at 08:11, the last signal was sent from the airliner to the Inmarsat satellite, which the Boeing 777 used to transmit technical information about the operation of its Rolls-Royce engines to ground services. An hour later, a communication request was received from Inmarsat, to which there was no response from the aircraft. There were 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board the plane.
26 states tried to unravel the mystery of the missing airliner, spending a total of almost $200 million on the investigation of the disaster. The search for the plane was carried out in the South China and Andaman seas, in the Strait of Malacca and in the Indian Ocean. A total of 7.7 million square meters were explored. km, for 60 thousand sq. km of which deep-sea searches were also carried out
Despite the efforts of the search team, the first fragment of the airliner was found only after more than a year after the disappearance of MH370. The wreckage, which turned out to be a wing part and a door, was found on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean in July 2015. Then, in March 2016, the wreckage of the plane was found on the shore of the strait between Madagascar and Mozambique, and a month later a fragment of a wing was found on the island of Mauritius. The latest find, in the form of another part of the wing, was off the coast of Tanzania.
And although each new fragment of the airliner found increased the hope of solving the mystery Malaysian Boeing, all this did not help to reduce the search area for the missing aircraft and determine its location. In January 2017, the authorities of Australia, China and Malaysia announced the completion of the search for the aircraft.
However, the Search Agency Coordination Center (JACC) continues to work closely with the Malaysian government to share information on the case and support the families dead passengers and crew members. Currently, the wreckage of the missing liner is being recovered by a private American company, Ocean Infinity.
Among the versions is the suicide of the pilot
The mysterious disappearance of the aircraft has attracted the attention of experts around the world. According to one of the versions put forward by experts, at the crucial moment the pilot was not controlling the airliner. As Greg Hood, a representative of the Australian Transport Safety Authority, notes, this hypothesis is proven by analysis of Boeing signals. According to people who subscribe to this theory, the plane crashed on March 8, 2014 at 08:19 when it ran out of fuel and two engines caught fire. According to experts, the plane crashed almost at a right angle onto the surface of the Indian Ocean at tremendous speed, up to 20 thousand feet (6096 m) per minute, which explains its disappearance without a trace. Another version of what happened is the human factor. Those who hold this point of view blame the crew commander, Zachary Ahmad Shah, for the tragedy.
During a search of the pilot's house, a simulator simulating an airliner cockpit was found there. After decrypting the hard drives, it turned out that the pilot, just a month before the plane crash, was training on a route that would have caused the plane to crash into the Indian Ocean. Investigators are confident that it was precisely this scheme that Ahmad Shah transferred to the real flight.
Former head of Canada's Transportation Safety Bureau, Larry Vance, expressed the opinion that the pilot was planning suicide, and killed all the passengers along with him. He believes that the ship's commander could have depressurized the cabin so that passengers and crew members would lose consciousness, while he himself had first put on an oxygen mask. “He was going to kill himself. Unfortunately, he killed all the passengers along with himself. This was intentional,” Vance said.
There are other versions that are less popular, but still have the right to exist. So, according to one such theory, the Boeing was captured by terrorists, after which it was shot down. The former head of the French airlines Proteus Airlines, Marc Dugen, believes that the plane was destroyed by the American military, who suspected the hijacking of the aircraft by terrorists. The Americans allegedly did this for reinsurance, fearing a repeat of the events of September 11, 2001. This hypothesis can be confirmed by the fact that two Iranian citizens, Puria Nur Mohammad Merdad and Delaware Seyed-Mohammadreza, were on board using false passports.

In about a week, data about this will be transferred to China (it is not known whether this will become public knowledge worldwide). As it turned out, the purpose of the sudden hijacking of the Malaysian Boeing 777-200-ER airliner was to suppress the American side’s attempt by a group of special specialists to get from Malaysia to China.” An anonymous source in the special services told an MK correspondent about this in a confidential manner. This information is published in the world media for the first time.

The day before, a source from the intelligence services told MK on condition of anonymity that, according to available data, the hijacked passengers of the airliner that suddenly disappeared on March 8, 2014, flying flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing began to die due to unbearable conditions of detention.
In the first ten days of April, MK, citing special services, reported that the nickname of the attacker who forced the Boeing pilots to hijack a Malaysia Airlines plane, on board which carried a total of 239 people, was Hich. Nothing was known about his accomplices. The pilots of flight MH370 were not guilty of the hijacking, a fairly authoritative source from the intelligence services assured the MK correspondent on condition of anonymity.

The missing Boeing 777 flew for several more hours after the crew “lost” communication with dispatchers.
Chinese China Southern Airlines flight with 227 passengers on board from 14 countries, including 5 children under 5 years of age and 12 crew members (including two pilots). The majority of passengers - 153 - were Chinese citizens (one was a permanent resident of Hong Kong). Among the passengers was the only Russian - 43-year-old businessman Nikolai Brodsky from Irkutsk. He was returning from a vacation in Bali, where he had been diving. Four people who had tickets for this flight were late for check-in and did not get on the plane. At least two passengers (Italian Luigi Maraldi and Austrian Christian Kozel), who were on the lists, were not on board: the Iranians, Puria Nur Mohammad Merdad and Delaware Seyed-Mohammadreza, purchased tickets using their passports and boarded the flight .
Flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8 at 00:41:13 local time. At 01:19:24, Kuala Lumpur Control handed over flight MH370 to controllers in Ho Chi Minh City, which was confirmed by the airliner's crew. Flight MH370 was last recorded on radar at 01:21:13, but the pilots did not contact air traffic controllers in Ho Chi Minh City. After this, contact with the plane was completely lost. At 01:38, Vietnamese air traffic controllers asked their colleagues in Kuala Lumpur where flight MH370 had gone?
After unsuccessful attempts to locate the missing plane, Kuala Lumpur air traffic controllers contacted Malaysia Airlines flight control at 02:15, where they assumed that the plane was in Cambodian airspace. However, controllers at the Cambodian ATM center noted that the crew did not contact them. Vietnamese dispatchers, in turn, emphasized that according to the flight plan, the Boeing 777 airliner was not supposed to fly through Cambodian airspace. Over the next few hours, dispatchers and airline representatives tried in vain to establish any communication with the plane and determine its location. As a result, after four hours of unsuccessful attempts, a request was sent at 05:30 to begin an official search and rescue operation.
There are seven known messages received from flight MH370 via the Aeronautical Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS) following the loss of contact with the airliner, including the last one at 08:19.
So, to this day, no one knows anything about flight MH-370. Malaysia, Australia and China agreed to continue the search for the missing plane, which will now be more focused on studying the seabed (April searches in the Indian Ocean did not bring results).
At the end of April, tired of the uncertainty and unconvincing methods of searching for the missing airliner with a letter about checking the version of the location of the missing plane, put forward for the first time (March 31) by the Russian newspaper “Moskovsky Komsomolets” (website) with reference to anonymous sources in the special services. Extra-exclusive information from "MK" was urgently made public in both languages and instantly disseminated by the world media (example and another example), blogs and social networks (on various languages peace).
Investigation Expert aviation accidents from the Center for Scientific and Technical Research and Expertise (Moscow), the most experienced Soviet-Russian aviator Evgeny Kuzminov explained to the MK correspondent that “such an aircraft could easily land on an ordinary dirt road of a less dense surface about 2000 meters long. Although, of course, for this there should be free approaches to the landing strip - that is, there should be no trees or mountains. With a hard landing on a “bad” surface, of course, the landing gear could break or even the wing could break” (the estimated weight of the hijacked Boeing 777-200ER with passengers, crew and cargo is about 200 tons). Evgeny Kuzminov recalled a similar airliner landing that took place in the USSR in 1968, as a result of which.
For foreign media
This information was not published in the world media : " A Russian newspaper has claimed that Flight MH370 was hijacked by "unknown terrorists" and flown to Afghanistan, where the crew and passengers are now being held hostage. The extraordinary comments, attributed to an Intelligence source, appeared in the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper. The source told the paper: "Flight MH370 Malaysia Airlines missing on March 8 with 239 passengers was hijacked. Pilots are not guilty; the plane was hijacked by unknown terrorists. We know that the name of the terrorist who gave instructions to pilots is "Hitch "The plane is in Afghanistan not far from Kandahar near the border with Pakistan." Moskovsky Komsomolets also claims the passengers have been divided into seven groups and are living in mud huts with almost no food. Twenty Asian passengers were said to have been smuggled into a bunker in Pakistan .

Why is Boeing missing over Indian Ocean At first they were looking in the wrong place, and when the wreckage was found, they looked for it for only a few days, and then they abandoned the search altogether? And no one is embarrassed that new plane wreckage continues to be found, but let’s talk about everything in order.
Appeared new information Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board.
The plane disappeared on the night of March 8, 2014, but despite the development of modern search engines, it has not been possible to find the 63-meter plane until today.
Even after a year and a half, the search did not yield much results, only mysterious white objects were periodically found, which, it is assumed, could be fragments of the missing plane.
The last hope for continuing the search was fueled by the found radio signal of the black box, but soon it too disappeared. Whether this was a signal from the missing plane is still unknown.
On July 29, 2015, a fragment of a wing and an airplane door were found on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.
After the Malaysian authorities confirmed that the found fragments belonged to the missing airliner, relatives of the passengers of the missing Boeing staged a real protest in Beijing. After all, the search was initially conducted in the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca. The enormous resources of the 26 states that took part in the search were, in fact, wasted, because, according to the relatives of the dead passengers, Kuala Lumpur had long known about the deviation of the plane's course, but continued to conduct searches in the areas indicated above.
Why was society misinformed?
An interesting version was put forward by the former head of the French airlines Proteus Airlines, Marc Dugen. In his opinion, the plane was deliberately shot down by the American military. This was done due to US Security Service suspicions that the airliner had been hijacked by terrorists and, In order to prevent terrorist attacks similar to those of September 11, the Americans were forced to shoot down the plane.
Ground controllers lost contact with the plane as it was over the South China Sea and entering Chinese airspace.
Malaysian authorities say the airliner turned into westward and, according to military radar data, was last seen over the Strait of Malacca, heading in the opposite direction from its original route. Based on these arguments, it can be concluded that the aircraft changed course after contact was lost.
According to Dugen, the United States even knows where to look for the wreckage of the Boeing 777-200, so they are officially searching in another place, distant from where the plane actually crashed. He suggests that the airliner crashed near military base USA, located in the Indian Ocean on the island of Diego Garcia.
In order not to be held responsible for the murder of 227 passengers and 12 crew members, the Americans are trying to lead the search for the missing Boeing to a dead end. And perhaps we would never have known the truth about this disaster if the wreckage of the plane had not been washed ashore on Reunion Island.
By the way, searches in this area have been suspended, and they lasted only 10 days.
This raises a completely logical question: If the search for the plane took months in the South China Sea, then why in this case was the search completed so quickly?
Don't you think this is strange? And maybe there really is something upstream?
The found debris was sent for examination to Australia. A number on one of the recovered aircraft pieces indicates it belongs to the missing Boeing 777 flight MH370.
Now everything comes together.
The wreckage of the plane was carried away by the current. Some of them were carried by the Mozambique Current.
It doesn’t take several years to come to this conclusion. It’s just that over time, the secret still becomes apparent and the intention to hide the facts becomes obvious.

The FBI has revealed the secret of the commander of the missing Malaysian Boeing.
The US FBI has released one version of the plane crash of a Malaysian Boeing flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014, TASS reports citing the American magazine New York.
From all this we can conclude that some people decided to prevent the development of camouflage technologies in order to maintain a monopoly on their ownership or, conversely, to steal scientists along with the technologies. In any case, it is clear that someone is slowing down the investigation and leading on the wrong trail.
06 01 18 The Malaysian government approved a new attempt to find the wreckage of flight MH 370. The Ocean Infinity campaign will do this. The costs of searching for the missing aircraft will only be paid if it is found. Ocean Infinity will search near Australian waters over an area of 25,000 km².
For comparison, the search area for this aircraft in the Indian Ocean was 710,000 km². According to the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), it was the largest aviation search in history. At the same time, satellite images were studied and ocean drifts were studied. The ATSB report said the chances of finding the plane were now much higher. Let's see what happens.
The Boeing 777-200 airliner of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, making a joint flight MH370 with the Chinese China Southern Airlines from the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing (China), (March 7, 22.40 Moscow time), did not giving no signals of problems on board, other problems or changes in course. The last message from the plane was: “Everything is fine, good night.”
At the moment of last contact - literally a minute before entering the air control zone of Vietnam - the airliner was 220 kilometers from east coast Malaysia. The weather in the area of the disappearance was good. The plane was flown by experienced pilots (the captain, 53-year-old Malaysian Zachary Ahmad Shah, had worked at MAS since 1981, with almost 18,500 hours of flight time; 27-year-old co-pilot Farik Ab Namid had 2,763 hours of flight time). The airliner underwent a full inspection just ten days before this flight.
On board the missing plane were 154 passengers from China and Taiwan, 38 Malaysians, seven Indonesians, six Australians, five Indians, four French, three US citizens, two each New Zealanders, Ukrainians and Canadians, one resident each from Russia, Italy, the Netherlands and Austria. However, the real nationality of at least two of those on board was then called into question due to evidence that they used stolen passports. According to Interpol, the two Iranians were traveling on the passports of an Austrian and an Italian. According to the international law enforcement organization, they were not related to terrorists, but were heading to Europe as illegal migrants.
Among the 227 passengers on the plane, 20 were employees of one company - Freescale Semiconductor, a former subsidiary of Motorolla, headquartered in Texas (USA), which produces semiconductor equipment, including components for defense equipment and on-board navigation systems.
The missing Boeing was carrying not only passengers, but also more than seven tons of cargo, some of which was not named. transportation documents. The plane was carrying 4,566 tons of mangosteens (the fruit of a tropical tree), as well as a shipment of lithium batteries (200 kilograms), which was part of a separate cargo that weighed 2.4 tons. A Malaysian Airlines spokesman said the cargo consisted of "radio accessories and chargers."
The transportation of the unknown cargo was carried out by the Beijing branch of the logistics company HHR Global Logistics, but another company, JHJ International Transportation Co.Ltd, had to pick up the delivered goods on its behalf.
In April 2015, the governments of Malaysia, Australia and China participating in search operation, the search doubled, as a result of which it was expanded to 120 thousand square kilometers. At that time, more than half of the priority zone at the bottom of the Indian Ocean (more than 50 thousand square kilometers) had been surveyed. However, despite the use of sophisticated sonar equipment and assistance from a number of governments, by that time there was no sign of the aircraft.
The first in 16 months as part of the investigation into the circumstances of the disappearance of the Boeing 777-200 airliner of Malaysia Airlines was a fragment of a wing (flaperon designed to control the roll angle), found on July 29, 2015 at French island Reunion in the Indian Ocean is thousands of kilometers from the area of the main exploration work being carried out near Australia. The wreckage of an unidentified plane was found by beach cleaners near the city of San Andre. It was filled with shells, indicating a long stay in the water.
After the found fragment of the plane, specialists from the Australian-led Search Coordination Center (JACC), Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, as well as the French prosecutor's office, believed that it belonged to the missing airliner.
By the end of 2015 there were search areas. Other debris was also found in the Indian Ocean.
Summer 2016. In July, media reported, citing Malaysian police documents, that the pilot of Malaysian airliner MH370, Zachary Ahmad Shah, had taken a simulator flight into the southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane allegedly disappeared in the same area. According to the documents, Malaysian police provided the FBI with hard drives on which the pilot recorded routes practiced in a homemade home flight simulator. Investigators believe the path taken by MH370's commander is largely consistent with the one the plane may have followed before it disappeared. Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai later said there was no evidence that the pilot of the missing airliner intentionally sent it into the ocean.
In August, Australian media, citing an analysis by the Australian Department of Defense, said that a Boeing 777-200 fell into the Indian Ocean at high speed, which may indicate an uncontrolled crash. According to the automatic signals that the airliner gave in the last minutes of the flight, the plane fell "very quickly - at speeds of up to 20 thousand feet per minute (6096 meters per minute)." Experts concluded that the crash occurred after the plane ran out of fuel and two engines caught fire - “first the left one, and 15 minutes later the right one.”
On January 17, 2017, representatives of Australia, Malaysia and China lost the Malaysian Boeing MH370, which lasted more than two years. According to the joint statement of the three states, despite all efforts made, the use latest technologies, modeling methods and consultations with highly qualified and best-in-class specialists, the aircraft could not be found during the search.
Conducting searches for the missing MH370 Malaysia for individuals and organizations.
At the end of February 2017, 25 pieces of MH370 debris had been confirmed. Malaysia has reached a memorandum of understanding with African countries whose shores are washed by the Indian Ocean. According to the agreement, the African side pledged to help recover any likely debris that might wash up on its shores.
