MH 370 vanished mysteriously in the air on March 2014. A Malaysia Airlines plane flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew on board. Despite of 4 years, $200million (RM800 million) international search effort covering more than 120,000sqm, the wreckage of MH370 has never been found. It’s been 6 years and the case remained inconclusive.
However, there is fresh hope now as aviation experts claim they have finally located the crash site of MH370, reported by NST.
The experts believe the Boeing 777 plunged into the South Indian Ocean, near the co-ordinates of S34.2342 and E93.7875 – which is about 1,285 miles (2,070km) off the coast of Perth in Western Australia.
Engineer Victor Ianello and his team, based in the US said ‘there are even better odds’ the plane’s wreckage is within 100 nautical miles of the of those co-ordinates, according to AirLive.
Ianello, who assisted in the search, believes the plane flew 2,700 miles (4,340km) past Indonesia before crashing.
Another aviation expert Byron Bailey, a former pilot, also says investigators were looking in the wrong spot and should have been looking south of the search site.
‘I’m sure the captain was trying to ditch the aircraft in as far south, remote location as possible, and leave as little wreckage as possible that would sink.’ Mr Bailey said.
He claims the search was within 30km of where he estimates the plane wreckage is situated.
He confidently said, ‘If I’m wrong then it probably means the aircraft has been taken by aliens or is sitting in a hangar somewhere in Kazakhstan. I’d bet my house on it. As far as I’m concerned we know where it is, we’ve always known where it is.”
According to Daily Mail, one of the leading theories of the missing of MH370 was mass murder-suicide by the pilot. Other were MH370 was used by terrorists for a suicide attack on the Chinese navy, Russians steal MH370 and fly the Jet to Kazakhstan and the aircraft suffered a catastrophic systems failure and crash landed on the ocean.
We hope this ultimately leads to the discovery of the lost plane. And may the families of the victims find closure.
