She assumed that when the US found out about the cargo MH370 was carrying, two of the US ASWACS planes tried to interrupt the flight. It was only the flaperon that was confirmed to be part of MH370. He takes control of the direction of the plane and heads it over to the left. The Malaysian government soon confirmed that the part of the wing that was found, in fact, belonged to MH370. She then collaborated with Cyndi of the Tomnod group, who had stated at the very beginning of the case that she had noticed debris in the South China Sea via the satellite images that were uploaded on the platform. The Malaysian government admitted that the debris found by Gibson was, in all likelihood, part of MH370. He further learned that the device that was turned on was not accessible to the pilot since it was present in the main equipment center. Gibson followed the instructions of the oceanographers he contacted and headed to Mozambique in the hopes of finding more debris. He then heads back to the Malaysian peninsula, and while doing so, he realizes that he needs to be in complete control of the plane, so he depressurizes the cabin. The information was passed to the Malaysian government, and they focused on searching the southern Indian Ocean for the debris of MH370. The moment the flight left Malaysian airspace and was about to be transferred to the Vietnamese air traffic controllers, something went terribly wrong. MH370, the Malaysia Airlines flight that mysteriously disappeared from the face of the earth, has caught the attention of the entire world and has evidently become the subject of multiple discussions and theories.

MH370: The Plane that Disappeared is therefore as much about how we process loss, and mysteries, as it is about reasonable suppositions. In the absence of conclusive truth, that vacuum is filled by all manner of make-believe designed to give comforting answers to outstanding questions. In the first, the finger is pointed at Captain Shah, the most obvious suspect since he had control of the plane and, as investigators eventually learned, had charted a course on his home flight-training simulator that was eerily similar to the southward trajectory presented by Inmarsat. Wise’s reputation took a hit in the press for this, as does his credibility here. No one could detect its final course, determine a nearby airport where it might have landed, or locate debris in the South China Sea that would indicate a fatal crash. The possible explanations it dispenses, however, don’t seem likely to bring this case to a close—and, in some instances, reveal the dangerous and depressing conspiratorial thinking that arises when concrete facts are in short supply.

The fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is explored in a new Netflix documentary.

Since 2015, several pieces of debris confirmed as from the aircraft have washed up on the coast of Africa and on Indian Ocean islands. I’m not going to say who said what to whom, but let me reiterate, I want to be absolutely crystal clear, it was understood at the highest levels that this was almost certainly murder-suicide by the pilot.” MH370 disappeared with 239 people on board, made up of 12 Malaysian crew members and 227 passengers from 14 different nations. On March 24, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak confirmed that investigators had concluded the aircraft crashed in the southern Indian Ocean. Speaking in a Sky News documentary, Abbott – who was PM when the aircraft disappeared – said high-ranking Malaysian officials believed veteran pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, deliberately downed the jet. An Australian-led search scoured 46,000 square miles of the southern Indian Ocean and cost 200m Australian dollars (£100m). The pilot’s family has long denied he was suicidal. But what exactly happened to MH370 and when did it disappear? The aircraft, presumed crashed, sparked a huge search that became the most expensive in aviation history. A private hunt by Texas-based company Ocean Infinity later searched more than 37,000 square miles of sea. Released on Wednesday (March 8) to coincide with the ninth anniversary, At 1.22am – around 40 minutes after takeoff – the Boeing 777 suddenly disappeared from Air Traffic Control radar.

On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and the 239 people on-board took off into the night's sky from Kuala Lumpur, never to be seen or heard from ...

If either pilot wanted to crash the plane, why turn it around? It was not known whether Malaysia Airlines had carried out the change. Some believe the mystery cargo to be the remains of a drone downed in Pakistan, or military equipment captured by the Taliban. She didn't know about the search that had been started for MH370. Debris has been found across the Indian Ocean since the crash Two Russians and a Ukrainian were found guilty in November last year of murdering all 298 people on board by shooting it down. Of the 49 people on board, just 39 were returned two months later. The most expensive search in the history of aviation was launched. Shah pressed a button above his head to turn off the cabin's pressurisation system forcing it into a rapid decompression. Investigating the cargo, de Changy writes that it had not undergone the proper security screening. She says on the Being-777's cargo was 2.5 tonnes of 'poorly documented Motorola electronics equipment,' she says. On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and the 239 people on-board took off into the night's sky from Kuala Lumpur, never to be seen or heard from again.

We reviewed the Netflix documentary series MH370: The Plane That Disappeared. The documentary series was released on March 8, 2023.

The docuseries keeps the new and helpful trend of using a visual and variable timeline to help guide the viewer through a labyrinth of timelines. While you are privy to the human element, this balances the show since you are handed over and cycled through a band of citizen detective investigators trying to solve the case. Also, you hear from the men from the airline and the Malaysian government, who dragged their feet and offered no answers. After nearly nine years, the three most popular theories are — (1) the pilot chose to commit suicide in the Southern Indian ocean, (2) the plane was hijacked, hacked, and moved into Russian airspace, and (3) the plane blew up over the South China Sea. The search cost over 200 million dollars and lasted over three years, covering over 40,000 square miles of ocean. Remarkably, experts and published writers’ attitudes towards the most prominent theory lean towards the wildest ones.

Netflix documentary MH370: The Disappeared Plane is ripe material for conspiracy theorists, with its three episodes dedicated entirely to laying out the ...

Immediately after this moment in the docu-series, we were shown footage from the official press conference which announced that the search of the South China sea would be coming to an end. Cyndi described how she compared her findings to schematics of a B77, and said that she believed she was looking at plane debris. As was explored in the documentary, debris appearing to be from a commercial airliner were found washed up along the coast of Africa and islands along the Indian Ocean. Inmarsat satellite communication data is said to have placed the plane somewhere over the southern Indian Ocean, although a precise location could never be calculated. It was said that the pieces were "almost certainly" from the missing plane (via [BBC News](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-26716572), the airline communicated to the families of the 239 people on board that it was assumed "beyond reasonable doubt" that there were no survivors.

How does a plane vanish? Netflix's new doc, "MH370: The Plane that Disappeared,” investigates the aviation mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

“After six hours of flight, the engines stop running, he pushes the nose down, and he starts to slide into a dive.” He suggests that after ending contact with air traffic controllers in Kuala Lumpur, but before establishing contact with Vietnam, Shah thinks of a reason to get his co-pilot out of the cockpit and then locks the door. Shah then disables the electronics that make the plane visible on radar. Wise presents a timeline of supposed events in “MH370” that even he doubts. investigators can't determine if a human shut down the transmissions or if it was an "act of piracy," meaning a takeover. Both acknowledge these are far-fetched, and the theories are written off by aviation expert Mike Exner. The last signal on radar from the plane was received as it transferred into Vietnamese airspace above Cau Mau province. The plane remains on course. It was set to arrive in Beijing on the morning of March 8, 2014, after departing from Kuala Lumpur. The plane carried 239 passengers and crew members. – The transponder that transmits location and altitude shuts down. – The plane's data reporting system shuts down.

The aircraft, a Boeing 777-200ER, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members, departed from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and was en route to Beijing ...

However, Voice370, a group representing the families of those onboard, has reported that Ocean Infinity plans to launch a new search as early as this summer. As per a report on IANS, they have demanded action from the authorities in Kuala Lumpur to launch a new search for the missing aircraft. After years of searching, debris was found, confirmed or believed to be from the MH370 aircraft washed up along the African coast and on islands in the Indian Ocean. It remains the deadliest and most enigmatic incident in the history of aviation involving a Boeing 777. Despite extensive search operations and tireless efforts by countless individuals, the plane has never been found. Although debris was discovered several years later, it has failed to provide any conclusive evidence about the fate of the aircraft or the passengers on board.

Carrying mainly Chinese passengers, the Boeing 777's destination was Beijing. 38 minutes after takeoff, the plane stopped communicating with Air Traffic Control ...

Sally Leivesley, a former scientific advisor to the British government, suggested that the plane may have been downed by a cyberattack. A rumour on social media suggested that the plane had been hijacked and flown to North Korea, as had happened to Korean Airlines YS-11 in 1969. Others say that the plane was deliberately brought down as it was feared it was going to be used as a weapon in a 9/11-style attack on the Diego Garcia military base. Russian media, meanwhile, floated the idea that terrorists had flown the plane to Afghanistan and were holding its passengers and crew hostage. When parts of Flight MH370 began washing up a year after the plane vanished, the idea that it had been hijacked and flown to an unknown location became highly unlikely. Hijacking was suggested as a possible cause almost immediately after the plane disappeared.

unsolved mysteries 2:25 P.M.. MH370 Is a Cold Case. But It Can Still Be Solved. By Jeff Wise.

All the same, though, the range of possibilities is not infinite. Second, we can pressure the Malaysian government to finally release all the evidence in its possession, including the full set of military radar returns showing the plane’s last known track. [eight years ago](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/02/jeff-wise-mh370-theory.html), if hijackers tampered with the SDU to create a false electronic trail for investigators, then the implication would be that the plane didn’t go south after all, but rather north to Kazakhstan. A distinctive aspect of the flight is that it got progressively weirder as it went along. To many people, the failure of the search seemed unsurprising. Yet this inexplicable eventuality gave rise to the signals that the whole seabed search rested on. To me, the great underappreciated red flag of the case is the fact that the satcom was turned back on. Yet after spending years searching the area, and far beyond, they found no trace of the fuselage on the seabed, a turn of events they labeled in their final report as “almost inconceivable.” I dove deep into the evidence for a [2019 book](https://www.amazon.com/Taking-MH370-Jeff-Wise/dp/1798750910/ref=sr_1_1), and then spent several years working with the producers of a three-part [Netflix documentary series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDg0m2Q3H8c), which debuts this week. The implication was that the plane’s captain, Zaharie Ahmen Shah, must have taken the aircraft. The urgency of solving the mystery remains, though. But significant aspects of the case remained unexplained, including the plane’s ultimate resting place, and search officials have long since given up trying to determine what happened.

Just before 12.45am on March 8, 2014, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 took flight, with pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah at the helm.

“But it is impossible to fly the aircraft from the avionics compartment.” This meant they could have created a distraction and then accessed below deck to control the plane. Inmarsat data could confirm the plane was in the air but not the exact location. “I don’t think taking the simulator data by itself proves a whole lot. It could, however, report the distance from the satellite. These pings continued for up to six hours after last contact,” Inmarsat representative Mark Dickinson said in one of the episodes. This has been supported by data found on a flight simulator at Shah’s home, which had been used to fly a similar diverted course just one month prior. Nobody was listening to me,” she said. A new Netflix docuseries, MH370: The Plane That Disappeared, looks to examine these explanations and separate fact from fiction. The Boeing 777 was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, China but, as we know, it never reached its destination. This has not stopped dozens of experts and pundits from proposing theories. And then finally, there’s something white,” she said.
