Two years ago, on March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777 passenger airliner belonging to the airline strangely disappeared Malaysia Airlines, and traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. 239 people (12 crew members and 227 passengers) disappeared along with the plane. From time to time, rescuers claim that they find the wreckage of the missing plane. But is it them? And what is known about the Malaysian ship today?

Were you looking in the wrong place?

The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft stopped communicating in the skies over the South China Sea 40 minutes after takeoff. Moreover, the liner underwent a full check just ten days before this flight. Initially, the operation to search for the crash site took place over this sea, but later moved to the Strait of Malacca and then to the Indian Ocean, closer to the western coast of Australia. Rescuers explained such an extensive search line by the fact that, apparently, the Boeing 777, after disappearing from radar, remained in the sky for more than 7 hours, having greatly changed its route.

The first search operation took place in March - April 2014. Then 26 countries took part in it (Malaysia, USA, Singapore, Vietnam, China, etc.). And the search for the plane was carried out over an area of ​​7.7 million km², which is comparable to the size of Australia. 15 days after the search began, Malaysian authorities announced that the missing plane had crashed in the southern Indian Ocean. They came to this conclusion based on calculating the trajectory based on signals transmitted via Inmarsat satellites once an hour about the operation of Rolls-Royce engines. No other facts were found to support this statement.

In mid-April 2014, the search moved underwater, using the Bluefin-21 unmanned autonomous submarine. 340 square miles of seabed were explored, but no traces of the missing airliner were found there either.

Only almost a year after the plane disappeared, in January 2015, did the Malaysian authorities officially declare everyone on board the aircraft dead. The cause of death for each was listed as “accident.”

Report without answer

A year after the incident, on March 8, 2015, the international investigative team gave a preliminary report on the results of the technical investigation. But the report did not contain any information about what happened to the liner. The only thing they were able to analyze then was the work of control managers air traffic. As it turned out, the senior air traffic controller in Kuala Lumpur slept for 4 hours after the Boeing disappeared from radar. Controllers in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) began to find out the reason why the plane did not enter their airspace after 2 minutes, as expected, but only after 20.

And Malaysia Airlines itself was not distinguished by its speed, which should be in such cases. The emergency situation was declared only 5 hours and 13 minutes after the last news of the liner. And the search operation began with a significant delay, although in such situations every minute is important. After all, the rescuers themselves and the Malaysian authorities have repeatedly said that in a matter of seconds, the current can pick up debris and carry it away in an unknown direction.

Fake wreckage

A few days after the plane disappeared, rumors appeared that its wreckage was allegedly found in the South China Sea. However, management civil aviation Malaysia immediately denied them. What was mistaken for part of an airliner turned out to be just an algae-covered shell of a cable reel.

A little later, information appeared that the Australian Maritime Safety Authority had discovered two objects that may belong to Boeing. Immediately, China stated that it noticed large debris - approximately 22 by 30 meters. Following them, the crew of a Royal New Zealand Air Force plane allegedly discovered debris in the southern Indian Ocean that may be related to the missing Boeing 777. But none of this was confirmed.

The first real wreckage of the Boeing 777 was discovered after a year and a half of searching, in July 2015. Moreover, this was done not by rescuers, but by cleaners on Reunion Island, located in the Indian Ocean. And this is more than 4,000 kilometers west of the deep-sea search, on which, by the way, more than $50 million was spent. The fragment turned out to be part of an airplane wing, about 2.5 meters long and covered with shells on the surface.

Later, after the exploration of the island by Malaysians, in August 2015, a number of other aircraft items were discovered. Then the assumptions were confirmed: the found fragment definitely belonged to the Boeing.

The next news about the plane was from local residents of the Philippines in October 2015. Allegedly, teenagers while hunting for birds came across the wreckage of a plane with Malaysian flags and human bodies nearby. The Philippine authorities took over the inspection of the territory and immediately denied this information.

Another six months later, the world was again talking about the Malaysian airliner. In January of this year, debris was discovered in southern Thailand that could belong to the missing Boeing. Residents of Nakhon Si Thammarat province discovered a large curved metal object on the ocean shore. But neither the authorities nor experts have confirmed that this fragment is actually related to the airliner. It turned out that the serial number of the part, the numbers of the bundle of wires and bolts do not match the numbers of the Boeing 777 aircraft.

End of the search

A week ago, on March 2, 2016, new information appeared about the missing Boeing 777. A metal fragment about a meter long was found off the coast of Mozambique. Presumably this is a horizontal stabilizer - a wing-shaped part attached to the tail of the aircraft. So far, only the territory indicates that this fragment belongs to Boeing: in the same part of the Indian Ocean, a fragment of a wing was found in July last year. The find will be studied by representatives of Australia and Malaysia, as well as “international specialists.”

It turns out that, in fact, only three relatively small fragments of all the finds could actually belong to the missing plane. Moreover, neither the bodies of the victims, nor the suitcases with things, nor the black box were found during two years of searching. And this despite the fact that more than 80 thousand square kilometers were combed with a total search area of ​​120 thousand kilometers.

According to the International Search Coordination Center, underwater search operations will be phased out in June 2016. But if in two years there is no clarity about what happened to the unfortunate Boeing 777-200, then it is unlikely that it will appear in another four months of the time allotted for the search.

Either it’s true or it’s not.... Anonymous source: Escaped from captivity, passenger Malaysian Boeing went to a village in southeast Afghanistan...
The United States is most likely connected with the hijacking of the Boeing on March 8, 2014 - we may be talking about the “extra-moral” state interests of this country...

“An Asian passenger of the dramatic flight MH370, who escaped from captivity near Kandahar, reached a village in south-eastern Afghanistan called Shahraz (to be specified). 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 became known, 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 exclusively told an MK correspondent about this. According to some assumptions, the United States could thus thwart an attempt at industrial espionage by China. No matter how disgusting it may sound, politicians and security forces of states have now armed themselves with the proven methods of terrorists. 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.

According to a representative of the special services, the search for the “black box” of the airliner is most likely a pointless undertaking, although understandable.

In the first ten days of April, MK reported that the nickname of the attacker who forced the Boeing pilots to hijack a Malaysia Airlines plane with a total of 239 people on board 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.

“Rolls-Royce collects data on the performance of the Trent 800 engines, which are installed on the Boeing 777, once every 30 minutes. Five hours of flight at cruising speed (about 900 km per hour) gives a flight range of 4000-4400 km" (The Wall Street Journal via Vedomosti). This means that the Boeing 777 could also land in Afghanistan...

At the end of March 2014, MK was the only publication in the world to report for the first time that “a Malaysian airliner is on a small road southeast of Kandahar in Afghanistan (in the mountains, on the border with Pakistan), with a broken wing. This means that the plane could have made a very hard landing. All passengers on flight MH370 were alive at that time. According to available data, the people taken hostage were divided into seven groups and placed in “huts” (in very difficult conditions).”

According to intelligence, “the purpose of hijacking an entire plane was to capture 20 specialists flying from Malaysia to China.” According to the data reported by MK, it became known that “the captured specialists were transported back in March to one of the Pakistani bunkers (presumably, some kind of production is located there). Among the specialists discussed is one Japanese, although his nationality was different in the official list of passengers on the flight.”

The press attache of the Russian embassy in Kabul, Stepan Anikeev, was unable to clarify the situation: “We did not receive this information,” the Russian diplomat told NSN. “But we have a lot of interesting things going on in Afghanistan.” Maybe there is this liner here, why not. If everyone is alive, that would be great. But there is nothing to comment on yet,” Anikeev said from Kabul.

MAP - where the missing airliner may be located

The Boeing 777-200ER, flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing (route length - 4417 km), suddenly disappeared on March 8, 2014. Boeing 777-200ER of Malaysia Airlines flew jointly with 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 Hong Kong permanent resident). 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 Mehrdad and Delaware Seyed-Mohammadreza, purchased tickets using their passports and got on board .

Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble: “It is of great concern that anyone could be targeted international flight, using a stolen passport contained in Interpol databases.”

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.

On May 1, the Malaysian Ministry of Transport published a preliminary report on the circumstances surrounding the disappearance of the Boeing 777 airliner. In it, Malaysian Transport Minister Hisamuddin Hussein confirmed information that one of Malaysia's military radars had detected the plane turning around. westward on the morning of March 8... (“Aviation business portal”)
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 one-sided methods of searching for the missing airliner, relatives of the passengers of the missing Boeing turned to the Malaysian authorities with a letter to verify the version of the location of the missing plane, first put forward (March 31) by the Russian newspaper Moskovsky Komsomolets with reference to anonymous sources in the intelligence services. Extra-exclusive information from “MK” was urgently published in English and French and was instantly disseminated by the world media (example and another example), blogs and social networks (on various languages peace).

MH370: Check Kandahar, say family members

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 landing of an airliner that took place in the USSR in 1968, as a result of which all passengers remained alive and the plane survived.

The Boeing 777 is the world's largest twin-engine passenger jet. The engines installed on it are the largest and most powerful jet engines in the history of aviation. Increased flight range to 14,316 kilometers. Wingspan: 60.90 m, length: 63.70 m.
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.

SEARCH HISTORY for runaway flight MH370 (from Wiki)

Previous case of disappearance without a trace civil aircraft took place on January 30, 1979 during a Varig cargo flight Boeing 707-323C. Half an hour after taking off from Tokyo, the plane disappeared over Pacific Ocean. Despite extensive searches, no traces of the plane or signs of its crash could be found. This incident was still considered the only case of the disappearance of a jet airliner without a trace and one of the most mysterious cases in the history of world aviation...

An old, forgotten story. In this post I will try to remember how the search for the ill-fated plane took place and voice one of the versions of what happened to it.

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 because the US Security Service suspected that the airliner had been hijacked by terrorists and, in order to prevent terrorist attacks similar to the September 11 attacks, 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 officials say the airliner turned west and was last seen over the Strait of Malacca, according to military radar, 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?

UPD 03/24/16
Wreckage of missing Boeing found in Mozambique

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.

UPD 04/20/16
An examination confirmed that the wreckage found in Mozambique belonged to the missing Malaysian Boeing.

05/13/16 Malaysia refuses to search for the missing Boeing in the area where the wreckage of the missing plane was found.

23.07.16
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 Malaysian Boeing, following the route Kuala Lumpur - Beijing, in March 2014, TASS reports citing the American magazine New York.
According to the FBI, crew commander Zachary Ahmad Shah had a simulator installed at home that simulates the cockpit of an airliner and allows him to practice flying on it. A few weeks before the incident, he was practicing a route that would lead to a crash - the ship falling into the Indian Ocean. Investigators believe that the path worked out by the commander resembles the one that the plane could actually take. The wreckage of MH370 is currently being searched for at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
The FBI managed to find out this by recovering data related to the use of the simulator from the hard drives.
01.08.16
In June, a fragment of an airplane wing with its flaps down was found off the coast of Tanzania. This indicates that the pilot could have sent the plane into the ocean on purpose. This fact fits perfectly into the version about the deliberate crash of a Boeing in the Indian Ocean, for which the pilot prepared by training on a simulator at home.

On the liner were 20 highly qualified scientists working for Freescale Semiconductor. They were developing stealth technologies for aircraft and camouflage devices. It is probably necessary to clarify somewhat what “cloaking devices” are - we are not talking only about radar invisibility, but about invisibility as such, visual invisibility. The main target was information held by employees of a private company. Government intelligence agencies could also be hunting for her.

Hijacking a plane with the best specialists is a crazy idea. It is unlikely that amateurs could cope with this task. Employees of Freescale Semiconductor were kidnapped by specialists. The plan is flawless. Even if the Boeing on flight MH370 is found, it is unlikely that any of the passengers will be identified. Who knows, perhaps some of these specialists are still alive and working somewhere in secret laboratories.

On January 17, 2017, it became known that the search for MH370 had been stopped. For three years, the crash site of the airliner could not be found.

Over almost three years of operations, the vessels combed an area of ​​120 thousand square kilometers, both in the South China Sea and west of Australia in the Indian Ocean. On search operation$160 million was spent.

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.

Now let's try to develop the version about the disappearance of Freescale Semiconductor workers. Believing that everything happened because of them.

They are somehow connected with the US military complex. We were flying to a business meeting in Beijing. 12 of them were Malaysian citizens, 8 were Chinese. All 20 specialists are smart, as if they were a good choice. Apparently, it took a long time to form and select this particular team of scientists, whose brains are most valuable to Incognito, who is interested in acquiring these brains. You can imagine the “accident”, the “coincidence”, when 20 of the most powerful specialists gathered on one plane, and all 20 registered patents in the military-industrial complex. Of course, there is no accident in the disappearance, essentially kidnapping, of scientists when you realize that all the patents listed below have a connection with the operation and transfer of energies at a distance and control over technologies: computer science, pesticides, mass control, nuclear. Each topic is unique with its new developments.

Reference: Freescale Semiconductor is an Austin-based company. She works in defense force support. Freescale's commercial products cover various sectors:
-Communication on the battlefield
-On-board equipment
-Radar tapes HF-L and S
-Rocket
-Electronic warfare
-Identification, Friend or Foe (IFF)

A convention in this area of ​​research was to be held on March 20, 2014. And this is also an accident?

2 days before the Boeing 777 took off, 1 patent was registered, which had 5 owners. The 4 Chinese who were on board and the American company, which is now the only owner thanks to the disappearance of the plane. This patent is about technology that allows you to disappear from the radar of an aircraft and take control of it from a distance.

The death of a Boeing with such a “filling” is excluded. There was too valuable cargo on board. Let's look at the route and assess the situation, WHAT is located along the plane's route.

The Diego Garcia military base is located along the plane's route. Secret base with a military prison where torture is practiced. The island is completely closed from people. Many years ago they were forcibly evicted local residents, who then sued and won in the UK in 2006, hoping to return home. But the decision is not implemented. Americans spit on British court decisions.

The prison on Diego Garcia is the same as in Guantanamo. Far from civilization, nowhere to run. It is likely that all 239 passengers and the plane landed on this island. Moreover, as evidence you can cite the simulator on which the pilot trained of this aircraft. His training included landing the plane on a 1000 m runway, and the simulator flights included the Diego Garcia military base.

A low-flying plane was seen on two small islands relatively close to Diego Garcia. In particular, residents of the island of Kuva Huvad Hu say that they have never seen such a thing. big plane flying over their heads. People rushed out of their houses to see what was making such a noise. It looks like the missing Boeing 777 was landing. It was the same day from March 7 to 8.

As we know, some passengers' phones were ringing in the next few days after the plane disappeared. An image was sent from one iPhone, the geologization of which pointed to the Diego Garcia base. This photo is at the top of the article. 19 families have signed a petition to request the investment of an aircraft at the Diego Garcia military base.

I hope that people around the world understand that 239 passengers from such a base will never return home. Civilians who accidentally found themselves on the same plane with 20 scientists, according to military laws, must be eliminated as witnesses.

P.S. An interesting remark appears in the foreign press that “Russia was tracking the movement of this Boeing.” What does this mean? Hard to say. There were suggestions that Yanukovych was exporting gold reserves on this plane, especially since Chinese businessmen Yanukovych and Crimean Prime Minister Anatoly Mogilev actively interacted. This fact, of course, could be the reason for tracking him from Russia.

At the beginning of the year, new searches began. The Malaysian government signed an agreement with an American company, which provided a vessel capable of deep-sea research. The agreement was drawn up in a rather interesting way: no result - no payment. If the vessel does not find anything within 90 days, the Malaysians will not pay a cent. If something is found, searchers will receive a reward of $70 million. Moreover, the search for this aircraft has already cost 160 million. They became the most expensive in the history of civil aviation.

- And the most mysterious...

Oh yeah. After all, the search vessel also disappeared...

- What a twist!

Calmly! It was found three days later: someone turned off the tracking systems on it (like on the plane they were looking for). Why is not clear.

- What exactly are they looking for?

First of all, “black boxes”. The hope, however, is only in the technical parameters recorder. There seems to be nothing on the speech one - every two hours the recording goes over the old one. During the seven-hour flight, the audio was erased three times.

Walked along the border

- The alarm wasn’t raised right away?

It was raised only 5 hours later when the plane did not arrive on schedule in Beijing. Very interesting place disappearance of radar marks. These are the boundaries of the flight information regions of Malaysia and Vietnam.

- That is, the boundary of the sectors of responsibility of dispatchers. Did everyone think that the plane was in a foreign zone?

Not certainly in that way. At the end of radio contact with the Malaysian dispatcher, the crew said goodbye. And the Malaysian dispatcher was absolutely sure that the plane had transferred control to the Vietnamese center. The Vietnamese dispatcher waited 18 minutes for the Boeing to contact him.

- But according to international rules, he should have declared a special regime within 7 minutes!

It happens that a radio station does not have enough range. This is a daily recurring situation. But even after 18 minutes the alarm was not raised. The Vietnamese dispatcher simply called the Malaysian one and asked: “Where is your plane? Why don't we see it? Malaysian air traffic controllers called their airline's air traffic control department - they should have direct communication with the pilots. The technicians replied: everything is fine, the plane is already over Cambodia. But they established this hypothetically - simply by estimating by the clock where he should be. In general, they guessed so until Beijing raised the alarm. They began to search at the point where the connection was lost... And only a few days later they collected information from military locators, establishing that the plane did not fall, but at the moment of crossing the air border it simply turned off the communication and identification equipment. But the Boeing remained in the air, so there was a corresponding mark on the radar. It was impossible to determine the flight level and speed from it, only the trajectory. And then they realized that the plane was not in either Cambodia or Vietnam. After turning off communications, he turned back towards Malaysia, crossed it, headed northwest, reached the Andaman Strait and there disappeared from the field of view of military locators. Moreover, it walked exactly along the air border of Malaysia and Thailand.

External control

- Does all this data indicate malicious intent?

I'm sure of it.

- And the attacker was on board?

But one cannot be completely sure of this.

After the terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, Boeing began to think about how to prevent the terrorists who seized the cockpit from doing tragic things. This is how an autopilot was invented, which can be controlled from the outside.

- In this case, does the plane turn into a giant drone?

Approximately. The external control system was developed, tested...

- ...and installed on this aircraft?

And here is another mystery. It was not possible to find out whether such an autopilot was on that particular Boeing. We have carefully studied the voluminous report of the investigators. There are more than one hundred pages. And not a word about autopilot. Although many journalists asked this question. But the company never responded.

But if this Boeing had a remote control, could someone hack it and take the plane where it needed to go?

This is one of the versions.

Commander oddities

Let's look at another version. Investigators had many questions about the aircraft commander, Zachariah Ahmad Shah...

There are too many facts that cannot be a mere coincidence... In general, the person who hijacked this Boeing was not like the September 11 terrorists, who only had the basics of control. This hijacker had extensive piloting experience. Naturally, suspicion immediately fell on the captain. To disable all tracking equipment, you need to know how to do it. You need to know that the Boeing can be “hidden” if you walk exactly along the border of Thailand and Malaysia...

- And they also found a professional flight simulator in the Shah’s basement!

Well, I don’t see any crime in this. There are pilots who are so in love with their profession that flying in the air is not enough for them. They are constantly improving, creating difficult situations for themselves in training in order to be ready for them in reality...

- The Boeing captain experienced some very strange flight situations...

You're right. He was able to recover some files that he had erased on the computer simulator. Several files concerned flights over Indian Ocean and landings on five different islands... They are not named in the report. But many experts agree that one of them could be the island of Diego Garcia, where an American military base with a huge airfield is located. And there are hangars in which you can easily hide a Boeing 777.

- Strange...

Not that word! Isn’t it strange that a few days before departure to last flight Captain Zachariah erases all information from his simulator? In addition, shortly before the flight, he transfers a significant amount to his beloved daughter, who lives in Australia, supposedly to buy a house.

There is another strange fact. This man was a Muslim. And a year before the plane disappeared, he broke with Islam. Few people know about this.

- Converted to another faith?

Rather, he became an atheist - for many reasons. What's important here? In other religions, as we were able to find out, this transition is not as tragic and painful as among Muslims. For a Muslim, breaking with Allah is a colossal stress. And if a person breaks with his religion, then clearly his internal state is not cloudless. This was layered with problems in the family - everything was heading towards divorce. And finally, the imminent loss of his job loomed on the horizon: he planned to quit. And, as I already said, the man was very in love with his profession - it was not for nothing that he had a flight simulator at home. Three losses at once - family, work, faith. Few will survive. And on top of that, there is disappointment on a political level. There is a photo on the Internet of the captain wearing a T-shirt with the date of elections in Malaysia and the phrase: “There is no more democracy” written on it. The pilot, by the way, had a distant relative who was one of the leaders of the local opposition. And whom the authorities greatly offended: this man was put on trial for homosexuality. And there seemed to be talk that his political competitors removed him that way. Perhaps the captain shared this resentment towards the authorities.

- Enough to suspect the pilot...

Perhaps! But that's not all! When investigators studied the captain's training on a flight simulator, in addition to the already indicated routes to the Indian Ocean, there were even stranger ones... He intended to fly over the central part of Kuala Lumpur. There is located high television tower and Malaysia's famous Petronas Twin Towers. So, this captain’s nickname during training sounded like “Twin Towers-777.”

- Was he planning a ramming attack, like in 2001 in the USA?

It’s scary to talk about this, but this version also cannot be discounted. Judging by the recovered information from the simulator, he considered two options - a flight to the Indian Ocean and a flight to the center of Kuala Lumpur.

- In the end, it looks like I chose the ocean...

Board - less needle

- Why hasn’t the plane been found yet? Or is it like looking for a needle in a haystack?

If we compare the size of the aircraft with the search area, then the comparison with a needle is incorrect. The plane in this case is much smaller than a needle. Yes, there are tracking systems, satellites, radars, but all this is aimed at areas of permanent routes. No one sets out to track the movements of an aircraft in the southern Indian Ocean, where no one flies. Useless and expensive.

- But is there still a chance that the flight recorders will be found?

There is a chance. The board, one can definitely say, broke into separate components upon contact with water, since the flaperon (part of the wing - Ed.) was found on the coast of Reunion Island and then debris was also found on the coast of Africa and nearby islands. It has been precisely established that these fragments belong specifically to the missing Boeing 777. So the plane just crashed. Most likely due to running out of fuel. By that time, most likely, none of the passengers were alive.

-Who killed them?

Perhaps the one who took control. He could have deliberately depressurized the plane at high altitude - simply by releasing the pressure in the cabin. In this case, the amount of oxygen in the air decreased so much that people began to lose consciousness en masse, and later die due to hypoxia.

- But then the hijacker should have died!

But he could have been conscious until the last moment. There is one more oddity. Before departure, the captain asked to fill the Boeing's oxygen system to capacity. These are the cylinders that feed oxygen masks in an emergency.

- Is this oxygen for both the crew and passengers?

There was nothing stopping us from giving oxygen to passengers and keeping it only for ourselves. Technically this is possible.

- So the hijacker was planning to fly somewhere for a very long time?

Maybe. But for now we can only say one thing for sure. Someone purposefully took the plane to the most bearish corner of the Indian Ocean, having very professionally planned this special operation. Who, why, why? The answers to these questions are now being sought at the bottom of the ocean...

TO THE POINT

Other versions of the loss of MH370

✔ Hijacking by third world intelligence services in order to capture 20 Chinese and Malaysian specialists on this flight who were developing microchips for military equipment.

✔ Hijacked by kamikaze terrorists to attack a US military base, where he was shot down on approach.

✔ Collision with a UFO.

✔ Abduction by aliens.

✔ Time gap (like in the Bermuda Triangle).

FROM THE KP DOSSIER

The most mysterious disappearances of planes

2003 Boeing 727. At the airport in Luanda (Angola), an airbus without passengers suddenly taxied onto the runway and, without contacting dispatchers, took off. Having successfully lifted himself off the ground, he soon disappeared from sight. There were two people on board at the time - aircraft mechanic Ben Padilla and private light aircraft pilot John Mutantu. However, none of them knew how to fly aircraft of this class. Both specialists went missing. Just like the Airbus itself.

1979 Boeing 707. The cargo plane disappeared from radar half an hour after taking off from Tokyo to Rio. On board were 153 paintings by artist Manabu Mabe, worth about two million dollars. Until now, nothing is known about the plane, the paintings or the six crew members. One version is an air robbery.

1962 Super Constellation. The military transport plane was transporting army personnel from Vietnam to the United States. Mysteriously disappeared over the Pacific Ocean near Guam. 96 passengers and 11 crew members were missing.

THERE IS A VERSION

The missing Malaysian Boeing was hijacked to an American military base?

President of the Institute for Scientific Research of the Third Millennium Ilya Belous expressed his version of the “riddle of the century”

At the end of July 2015, on the French island of Reunion in the western Indian Ocean, wreckage of a Malaysian Boeing 777 was found. The same one that flew from Malaysia to China on March 8, 2014 and disappeared without a trace. There were 239 people on board. This catastrophe is already becoming the mystery of the century, covered in the darkness of the waters. And the French expert Jean Serra even called it “the biggest mystery in the entire history of world aviation.”

A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, flying on the night of March 8, 2014 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, unexpectedly disappeared from radar without giving any signals about problems. More than 25 countries sent forces to search for the plane and the 239 people on it. The work was carried out for almost three years, stopped and resumed again, but did not lead to anything. On the contrary, over time, the number of questions becomes more and more, and the number of answers decreases.

Steal a plane and fly to the Maldives

During the entire search, rescuers managed to find only a few minor pieces of debris, which experts were able to officially establish as belonging to flight MH-370. In July 2015, 700 kilometers from Madagascar, on the shore of Reunion Island, a part marked “657BB” was discovered. Later, in August, investigators found out that the found fragment was part of the wing of a Malaysian Boeing. Almost a year later, not far from the Mozambique coast, a horizontal flight stabilizer was found, the belonging of which to the 777 was also established by specialists.

But no bodies, much less black boxes, could be found - all this probably sank into the depths of the sea. The lack of remains that could shed light on the tragedy led to the most fantastic versions of what happened. Thus, the Malaysian authorities seriously considered the possibility that the plane could have been hijacked - at first glance, a very logical explanation for the missing wreckage. Possible “destinations” were even named: Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Pakistan and the Maldives. But the authorities of these countries quickly refuted such assumptions, noting that traces of the airliner were not detected by their radars. Although this rather confirmed the assumptions: experts claim that the kidnappers could have deliberately flown at low altitude so as not to be detected.

Of course, the possibility of a terrorist attack could not be ruled out. According to some experts, only if destroyed in the air could the debris disappear without a trace. The news added fuel to the fire that two of the passengers who were supposed to be on board reported the theft of their passports. With the help of their documents, the terrorists could just get on the plane. However, there is another explanation for this: Kuala Lumpur - major center smuggling of migrants to Europe traveling on stolen passports. So, perhaps the loss of passports has nothing to do with the loss of the plane.

Say goodbye to home and crash

Be that as it may, after some time - when debris began to be found off the coast of South Africa, then in Tanzania, then in Thailand - the versions of theft and terrorist attack faded into the background. Gradually, more and more questions began to appear about the role of the Boeing pilot, Zachariah Ahmad Shah, in the tragedy that occurred.

The 53-year-old flight captain has worked for Malaysia Airlines since 1981 and has accumulated almost 18,500 flight hours during this time. The weather in the area of ​​the loss was good, so the version of a piloting error was discarded almost immediately.

After a detailed analysis of the negotiations, the suggestion that Ahmad Shah was “out of his mind” was also rejected. The pilot’s last contact with ground services did not raise any questions: to the dispatcher’s message that he was handing over control to his Vietnamese colleagues, the pilot replied in a calm voice: “Okay, good night.”

True, 12 minutes earlier the Boeing changed course, and all communication and detection systems on the plane were turned off. Apparently, at the same time the board dropped to an extremely low altitude in order to become “invisible” to radar. Then, presumably, he followed south, skillfully maneuvering between air spaces different countries, and flew to the center of the Indian Ocean west of the Australian city of Perth - the area as far as possible from possible landing sites.

The fact that all this is the work of Ahmad Shah is indirectly indicated by several facts. First, during a search of his apartment, the FBI found a flight simulator, the program of which was loaded with information on five runways in the Indian Ocean region. Secondly, the Boeing made an unnecessary detour near the Malaysian state of Penang, where the pilot was from.

Based on these facts, aircraft designer Simon Hardy later suggested that the disappearance of the plane was nothing more than the suicide of Ahmad Shah. How he managed to “neutralize” other crew members and passengers will apparently remain a mystery. Former head of Canada's Transportation Safety Bureau, Larry Vance, suggested that the pilot, having previously put on an oxygen mask, could have depressurized the cabin so that the people on the plane would lose consciousness.

"Puzzle" for 70 million

It will probably not be possible to find out whether the plane was sent straight into the water or continued to fly until it ran out of fuel. At the same time, researchers found that the Boeing was not preparing to land on water - its flaps simply were not extended. No one can even say for sure where exactly the plane crashed. The “priority zone” of the fall alone stretches 93 kilometers in length, and its area exceeds 60 thousand square kilometers.

It turns out that “the Malaysian Boeing case consists almost entirely of dark spots. What really happened and what is considered the priority version of the plane’s disappearance? Could the ship's commander have become so disillusioned with life that he decided to commit suicide in such a sophisticated way, at the same time ending the fate of 238 more people? Did they understand what was happening to them? Did the airliner crash and if so, where? And if not, was anyone still alive? Finally, will Boeing's black boxes be found?

Until the answer to at least one of these questions is found, it is unlikely that the mystery of this story will be solved. However, hopes remain: only one private company is currently engaged in exploration work. The Malaysian government promised her $70 million if the plane or its black boxes were found. So here's another question: is this enough incentive to get the job done?
