What happened to the Malaysian Boeing. Boeing with a secret in the ocean: almost three-year search for the missing flight MH370 stopped

Ilya Ogandzhanov

The authorities of Australia, China and Malaysia announced the termination of the search for the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200. The plane was flying MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and disappeared from radar screens on the night of March 8, 2014. On board were 227 passengers and 12 crew members. 26 states tried to unravel the mystery of the crash. The total cost of investigating the crash approached $200 million. Fragments found did not help shed light on the reasons for the disappearance of the aircraft. About the main versions of the tragedy, including mystical ones, and why none of them received confirmation, in the RT material.

Chronicle of tragedy

On March 8, 2014 at 00:42 Malaysian time, the Boeing MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing. The flight took place in the normal mode. The last time the crew got in touch was at 01:19, during the transition from the zone of responsibility of the Malaysian controllers to the Vietnamese ones. The pilots wished their Malaysian colleagues “ Good night". At 01:21 there was a shutdown of transponders transmitting information about the location of the aircraft and its identification data. At 01:22 a.m., the Boeing disappeared from the radar screens of the air traffic control services. After that, he was in the air for about seven more hours, but drastically deviated from the planned route. At 08:11, the aircraft received the last signal to the Inmarsat satellite, through which the Boeing 777 transmitted technical information about the operation of its Rolls-Royce engines to ground services. At 09:15, the airliner no longer responded to a communication request from Inmarsat.

The liner was searched in the South China and Andaman Seas, in the Strait of Malacca and in the Indian Ocean. The area of ​​the studied territories is 7.7 million km². Deep-sea searches were also carried out over an area of ​​60,000 km².

Restore by fragments

The first fragment of the airliner was discovered only a year after the disappearance of MH370 - in July 2015, a wing part and a door were found on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean. The rest of the finds came in 2016: in March, the wreckage of the aircraft was found on the shore of the strait between Madagascar and Mozambique, in May, a fragment of the wing was found on the island of Mauritius, and in June, another part of the wing was found off the coast of Tanzania. However, all this did not help to narrow the search area for the airliner and determine its location.

uncontrolled fall

One of the versions put forward by experts is the fall of the plane. According to this hypothesis, the liner was not controlled by the pilot at the fatal moment. This, according to the representative of the Australian Transportation Safety Authority Greg Hood, is indicated by the analysis of Boeing signals. Presumably the liner crashed on March 9, 2014 at 08:19. At that point, it ran out of fuel and two engines caught fire. According to experts, the plane crashed into the Indian Ocean at a tremendous speed - up to 20 thousand feet (6096 m) per minute. The board, most likely, collided with the surface of the ocean almost at a right angle. This explains his disappearance without a trace.

Human factor

Many call the commander of the crew, Zachary Ahmad Shah, the culprit of the tragedy. The FBI searched his home and found a simulator simulating the cockpit of an airliner. Decryption of hard drives showed that about a month before the crash, the pilot worked out a route that would lead to the crash of the ship into the Indian Ocean. This is what investigators believe Ahmad Shah did in reality. The alleged reason for this act is depression due to the upcoming divorce from his wife.

Information or life

Among the scenarios for the disappearance of Boeing, there are truly detective ones - the plane was hijacked and landed at one of the military airfields. The target of the hijacking was on board 20 leading scientists (12 Chinese and 8 Malaysians) from Freescale Semiconductor, who were developing state-of-the-art technologies for aircraft, making them invisible to radar, and camouflage devices.

This version is confirmed by the fact that Zachary Ahmad Shah also practiced landing at five airfields in the Indian Ocean region, including on the runway of the airfield of the US military base Diego Garcia, on a home flight simulator. Shortly before the fatal flight, for some reason he erased this data, as well as all his work and social plans in his diary.

An even more twisted version of the hijacking for the sake of obtaining invaluable information on stealth technology belongs to former pilot Delta Airlines to Field McConnell. He claims that the crew of the aircraft was eliminated, after which MH370 was intercepted by the US military and landed remotely on the island of Diego Garcia at a secret US Air Force base. Then the liner was allegedly lifted into the air again by the same remote method and sunk in the Indian Ocean.

  • The alleged fragment of the aircraft was found off the east coast of Africa.

mysterious cargo

The conspiracy theories don't end there. The reason for the disappearance of Boeing is also called a certain mysterious cargo who was on board. In addition to luggage, the plane allegedly carried about 4 tons of exotic mangosteen fruit, 220 kg of lithium batteries for phones and computers, as well as 2 tons of some kind of electronic equipment, the sender of which is "classified by agreement with the airline."

Operation antiterror

Another version says that Boeing was captured by terrorists and shot down. According to the former head of French airlines Proteus Airlines, Marc Dugen, the plane was destroyed by the US military, who suspected that the airliner had been hijacked by terrorists. So the Americans played it safe to prevent a repetition of the events of September 11, 2001. This option is supported by the fact that there were two passengers on board on false passports - the Iranians Puria Nur Mohammad Merdad and Delaware Seyyed-Mohammadreza.

Just fantastic

There are absolutely fantastic versions of the disappearance of the Malaysian Boeing. In two years, a lot of them have accumulated: the plane became invisible, fell into a black hole or into the new Bermuda Triangle. However, no one has yet been able to test either these or more realistic hypotheses.

TALLINN, March 7 - Sputnik. A Boeing 777-200 operated by Malaysia Airlines (MAS) with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on a joint flight with China Southern Airlines flight MH370 from the capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur to Beijing (China), disappeared from radar screens at 02:40 Malaysian time on March 8, 2014 (March 7, 22:40 Moscow time), without giving any signals about malfunctions on board, other problems or a change in course. The last message from the board was: "All right, good night."

At the time of the last contact - literally a minute before entering the air control zone of Vietnam - the airliner was over South China Sea 220 kilometers from the east coast of Malaysia. The weather in the area of ​​the disappearance was good. The aircraft was flown by experienced pilots (the captain, 53-year-old Malaysian Zahari Ahmad Shah, has worked at MAS since 1981, his flight time has reached almost 18.5 thousand hours; 27-year-old co-pilot Farik Ab Namid has flown 2763 hours). The airliner passed 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 Frenchmen, three US citizens, two New Zealanders, Ukrainians and Canadians, one resident of Russia, Italy, the Netherlands and Austria. However, then the real nationality of at least two of those on board was called into question in connection with the data that they used stolen passports. According to Interpol, the two Iranians were flying on the passports of an Austrian and an Italian. According to an international law enforcement organization, they were not related to terrorists, but were sent to Europe as illegal migrants.

Among the 227 passengers on the liner, 20 were employees of one company - Freescale Semiconductor, the former "daughter" of Motorola headquartered in Texas (USA), which produces semiconductor equipment, including components for defense equipment and on-board navigation systems.

The missing Boeing carried not only passengers, but also more than seven tons of cargo, some of which was not named in the shipping documents. The plane carried 4,566 tons of mangosteens (fruits 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. The shipment consisted of "radio accessories and chargers," a Malaysian Airlines spokesman said.

The transportation of the unknown cargo was ordered by the Beijing branch of the logistics company HHR Global Logistics, but another company, JHJ International Transportation Co.Ltd, was supposed to pick up the delivered cargo on its behalf.

The investigation into the fate of MH370 is being conducted by an independent body led by Malaysia, which is the state of registry and operator of the aircraft, with the assistance of seven countries: the US, UK, France, China, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia.

According to the investigation, the airliner was in flight for several hours after the controllers lost contact with it, and made three turns, one of them to the left. As a result, the plane headed west, then south, towards Antarctica.

Experts reconstructed the aircraft's route from military radar records. Objective monitoring equipment (radar from the Royal Air Force base on the west coast of the Malay Peninsula) recorded that flight MH370 flew in the direction of Beijing for a short time. Over the Malaysian city of Kota Bharu, located near the coast of the South China Sea, the liner reversed course and crossed Malaysia for the second time in the opposite, southwest direction. Radars lost him over the Gulf of Malacca south of the city Kuala Lumpur.

After about 40 minutes of flight, someone turned off the aircraft's navigational instruments, communication with ground services, even the ACARS system (Aircraft Communications Address Reporting System), which is only accessible from the cockpit.

Almost at the same time, the liner lost its course, remaining unnoticed in the air traffic control zones.

The board indicated its existence in space only by electronic messages to Inmarsat satellites. According to the Australian Bureau of Transport Security, after the disappearance of the Boeing 777-200, Inmarsat's telecommunications satellites received electronic pulses from the onboard terminal informing about the state of the aircraft's systems for another seven hours. Later, based on the analysis of satellite information, Inmarsat concluded that the flight could have ended in the southern Indian Ocean.

The "black box" signals of the missing aircraft were not registered. Meanwhile, under favorable circumstances, they should have been audible for several hundred miles.

A full-scale search and rescue operation was organized to search for the missing airliner. It was attended by 26 countries, including Russia.

A massive multinational search and rescue operation was successively carried out first in the South China Sea, then in the Strait of Malacca and the Andaman Sea, and when results could not be achieved there either, the searchers concentrated on a vast area in the southern Indian Ocean. The joint actions of almost 80 ships and aircraft from 15 countries of the world, dozens of satellites, hundreds of fishing boats, ground monitoring stations, hundreds of thousands of "cyber volunteers" and even sorcerers did not give the slightest result on the anniversary of the tragedy: not even the tiniest fragment of the missing airliner was found and not a drop of fuel from its tanks.

At the end of January 2015, the department civil aviation Malaysia officially declared all those on board the airliner dead, and what happened to the plane was an accident.

On March 8, 2015, on the anniversary of the tragedy, an expert report was published on the results of a year-long investigation into the disappearance of the airliner, conducted by order of the Malaysian Ministry of Transport. It contained many technical details, such as that the underwater acoustic beacon's power source had expired a year before the aircraft disappeared, but it is not clear if this fact influenced the investigation. In addition, in the published report, the experts came to the conclusion that there were no technical anomalies on board and there was nothing to blame for the aircraft crew. Experts noted that the 580-page report is an interim and technical one, since the most massive and expensive search operation in world history has not yet been successful.

By that time, only the Malaysian authorities spent about 20 million euros in search of the missing liner.

In April 2015, the governments of Malaysia, Australia and China, participating in the search operation, announced a decision to double the search area, as a result of which it was expanded to 120,000 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 the governments of a number of countries, by that time no traces of the aircraft could be found. The first find in 16 months as part of an investigation into the disappearance of a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 airliner was a fragment of a wing (a flaperon designed to control the roll angle), found on July 29, 2015 at french island Reunion in the Indian Ocean - thousands of kilometers from the area of ​​​​the main search operations underway in Australia. A fragment of an unidentified aircraft was found by beach cleaners near the city of San André. It was filled with shells, indicating a long stay in the water.

After studying the found fragment of the aircraft, specialists from the Australian-led Search Coordination Center (JACC), Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, and the French prosecutor's office confirmed that it belongs to the missing airliner.

By the end of 2015, 80,000 square kilometers of the search area had been surveyed. Other debris has been found in the Indian Ocean.

In the summer of 2016, new versions of the plane crash appeared. In July, the media reported, citing Malaysian police documents, that the pilot of the Malaysian airliner MH370, Zachary Ahmad Shah, flew in a simulator to the southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane disappeared, allegedly in the same area. According to the documents, the Malaysian police provided the FBI with hard drives on which the pilot recorded the routes worked out on a homemade home-made flight simulator. Investigators believe the path taken by the commander of MH370 is largely the same as that which the plane may have followed prior to its disappearance. Malaysian Transport Minister Liou Tiong Lai later said there was no evidence that the pilot of the missing airliner deliberately steered it into the ocean.

In August, Australian media, citing an analysis by the Australian Department of Defense, reported that a Boeing 777-200 crashed into the Indian Ocean at high speed, which could indicate an uncontrollable crash. According to the automatic signals that the liner gave in the last minutes of the flight, the plane was falling "very quickly - at speeds 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, and 15 minutes later the right."

On January 17, 2017, representatives from Australia, Malaysia and China agreed to suspend the search for the missing Malaysian Boeing MH370, which had been going on for more than two years. According to the joint statement of the three states, despite all the efforts made, the use of the latest technologies, modeling methods and consultations of highly qualified and best specialists, the aircraft could not be found during the search.

Malaysia has allowed individuals and organizations to search for the missing MH370.

At the end of February 2017, 25 pieces of MH370 were confirmed to have been found. Malaysia has reached a memorandum of understanding with the states of Africa, whose shores are washed by the waters of the Indian Ocean. According to the agreement, the African side undertook to help in the extraction of any likely debris that could be thrown onto its shores.

The Aircraft Disappearance Investigation Team is preparing a final report, which will be published within a year.

The disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 in March 2014 shook the world. Versions of what happened, put forward a variety of. But until now, nothing really is known about the fate of the aircraft.

Did the flight go “normally”?

On March 8, 2014, Boeing operated joint flight MH370 with China Southern Airlines from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, China. There were 227 passengers on board. different countries and 12 crew members. The crew commander was an experienced 53-year-old pilot Zahari Ahmad Shah, the co-pilot was 27-year-old co-pilot Farik Ab Namid. The liner took off from Kuala Lumpur at 0.41 local time and, according to the schedule, was supposed to land at the Beijing airport at 6.30.

At 0240 Malaysian time, the plane disappeared from radar screens. At the same time, the dispatchers did not receive any information about technical problems, course changes or other problems. The last message received from the crew read: "All right, good night." At that moment, the liner was over the South China Sea, 220 kilometers from the east coast of Malaysia.

26 countries, including Russia, took part in the search and rescue operation. But no trace of the missing airliner was found. At the end of January 2015, the Malaysian Civil Aviation Department officially declared everyone on board the plane dead.

On July 29, 2015, on the French island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, near the city of San André, beach cleaners found a fragment of a wing of an unidentified aircraft covered with shells. Specialists confirmed that this fragment most likely belongs to the missing liner. Other fragments were later discovered, but it was not possible to prove their indisputable belonging to the disappeared Boeing.

oddities

Meanwhile, an investigation carried out by Malaysia jointly with seven other states - the United States, Great Britain, France, China, Singapore, Indonesia and Australia, showed that after the plane became unavailable for radar, it spent another 7 hours in flight. The last contact took place over the Gulf of Malacca, south of Kuala Lumpur. After about 40 minutes, communications with ground services were disabled, including the ACARS system, accessible only from the cockpit. Only electronic messages continued to be received from the onboard terminal to the Inmarsat satellites. It was thanks to them that it became known that over the Malaysian city of Kota Bharu, the Boeing reversed course, crossed Malaysia for the second time in a southwestern direction and headed south. Presumably the flight ended in the southern part of the Indian Ocean. The last signal from the board was received by satellites at 8:15 local time. The "black box" signals were never registered.

The plane was hijacked by the Americans?

During a search of the home of Captain Ahmad Shah, a makeshift Boeing flight simulator was found. It turned out that for some reason Shah was training to land the liner at five airfields in the Indian Ocean. He also erased all entries from his electronic diary.

Therefore, the main version of the investigation was the hijacking of the liner by unknown persons who were allegedly in collusion with the pilots. Another argument in favor of the crew's involvement in the disappearance of the plane was the fact that a few minutes before departure, Ahmad Shah was talking on a mobile phone with a woman who purchased a SIM card using fake documents.

It was the hijackers who could turn off the appliances. But where did the plane go? One of the points where Ahmad Shah "planted" him with the help of a simulator is the US military base "Diego Garcia", located on an atoll island with an area of ​​\u200b\u200babout 27 square kilometers, which is part of the Chagos archipelago.

Why did the US military need to hijack the Boeing? Ilya Belous, president of the Institute for Scientific Research of the Third Millennium, points out that among the passengers were 20 employees of the American company Freescale Semiconductor, which manufactures chips, semiconductors and other electronic equipment, including military technology. Moreover, these employees were not Americans. 12 of them were Malaysians, 8 were Chinese. And they had a number of patents in the military field. Perhaps they wanted to force them to work for the American government under supervision. And the plane with the rest of the passengers was simply liquidated.

But if all this is true, then it is very unlikely that we will ever know about the true fate of the fatal Boeing. After all, the secret services know how to hide the ends in the water.

41983

Why is Boeing missing over Indian Ocean first they searched in the wrong place, and when the wreckage was found, they were searched for only a few days, and then they abandoned the search altogether? And no one is embarrassed that they continue to find new wreckage of the aircraft, but let's talk about everything in order.

New information has emerged about a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 flying MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew members 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 give any special results, only mysterious white objects were periodically found, which, as expected, could be fragments of the missing aircraft.

The last hope for the continuation of the search was fueled by the found black box radio signal, but he soon disappeared too. Whether it was the signal of the missing aircraft is still unknown.

On July 29, 2015, a wing fragment and an aircraft door were found on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.

After the Malaysian authorities confirmed that the found fragments belonged to the missing airliner, the relatives of the passengers of the missing Boeing staged a real protest in Beijing. After all, initially searches were conducted in the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca. The huge 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 aircraft's course, but continued to search in the areas indicated above.

Why was the society misinformed?

An interesting version was put forward by the former head of French airlines Proteus Airlines Marc Dugen. In his opinion, the plane was deliberately shot down by the US military. This was done due to the suspicions of the US Security Service in the hijacking of the airliner by terrorists and, in order to prevent terrorist attacks like the September 11 attacks, the Americans were forced to shoot down the plane.

Ground controllers lost contact with the aircraft while it was flying over the South China Sea and entering air space China.
Malaysian officials say the airliner turned west and was last seen over the Strait of Malacca, heading in the opposite direction from its original route, according to military radar. Based on these arguments, it can be concluded that the aircraft changed course after the connection was lost.

According to Dugen, the United States even knows where to look for the wreckage of the Boeing 777-200, so they officially conduct searches in a different place, far from where the plane actually crashed. He suggests that the airliner crashed near the US military base located in the Indian Ocean on the island of Diego Garcia.

In order not to be 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 carried by the current to the shore of Reunion Island.
By the way, searches in this area are suspended, and they were conducted for only 10 days.
From here, a completely logical question arises: If the plane was searched for months in the South China Sea, then why in this case the search was completed so quickly?
Don't you think this is strange? And maybe there really is something upstream?

Found fragments were sent for examination to Australia. The number on one of the recovered aircraft wreckage indicates that it belongs to the missing Boeing 777 flight MH370.

Now everything fits.
The wreckage of the plane was swept 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 clear and the intention to hide the facts becomes obvious.

23.07.16
The FBI has uncovered the secret of the commander of the missing Malaysian Boeing.

The US FBI published one of the versions of the crash of the Malaysian Boeing, en route Kuala Lumpur - Beijing, in March 2014, reports TASS with reference to the American magazine New York.

From all this, we can conclude that someone decided to prevent the development of cloaking technologies in order to maintain a monopoly on their possession, or vice versa, to steal scientists along with technologies. In any case, it is clear that someone slows down the investigation and leads on the wrong track.

06 01 18 the Malaysian government approved a new attempt to find the wreckage of flight MH 370 . This will be done by the Ocean Infinity campaign. The cost of searching for the missing aircraft will be paid only if it is found. Ocean Infinity will search near Australian waters in 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), this was the largest airborne search in history. In parallel, studies were carried out satellite imagery and the study of ocean drifts. The ATSB report says the chances of finding the aircraft are now much higher. Let's see what happens.
