Disappearance of Flight MH 370

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur and was heading for Beijing in China. About 40 minutes later, just when it was leaving the Kuala Lumpur air traffic control area and before entering the Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam air traffic control area, the plane made a sudden change of course and for a few hours was flying to an unknown destination avoiding any contact with the outside world. The fate of the plane, 12 crew members and 227 passengers is still unknown.

Search and rescue

When search and rescue operations started, the data from radar were unavailable, so the multinational search efforts, that included ships, airplanes and satellites, started from the point of last contact, which was over the Gulf of Thailand and checked the area towards the South China Sea, assuming ...

Radar and satelite data

On press conference the Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak, declared that due to newly acquired data the search efforts in South China Sea were stopped. What were the new discoveries? The radar systems of Malaysian armed forces provided new direction for the investigation, a direction no one was ...

New direction

On 17 March 2014, the Australian Maritime Safety Authority took charge of coordinating the search efforts, when the new satellite data from Inmarsat suggested that Flight 370 changed the course from west to south after flying past Sumatra island. The area of interest became the southern part of the ...

Debris found

On 29th July 2015 debris that were identified as parts of Boeing 777 were found on the beach on the French island of Reunion. Reunion is located in the south-western part of Indian Ocean, close to Madagascar, which is about 3500 km away from the area where it is suspected the Flight MH370 has ended ...

More debris found

From February 2016 to November of that year there were several debris found in different parts of coasts in south-east Africa (Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Madagascar), most of which are believed to be parts of the MH 370, which would confirm that the flight in fact ended somewhere in the sou...

Media theories

Few days after the information was made public, the passengers were identif...

Kidnapping theory

The most obvious theory at the beginning of the investigation was kidnapping of the plane, probably by terrorist group. Facts that are supporting the theory: - plane did change the route, according to first theory the plane might have been flying to Iran (plane did have enough fuel to...

The crew escapes

Theory based on the early information, was holding the water for some time, but new evidence put that theory to rest. Facts that are supporting the theory: - according to some sources Captain Shah had family problems and before taking the Flight 370, he moved out of his house, althoug...

Accident theory

Another theory is that the reason behind the strange route and lack of contact is in fact, some sort of accident that took place over the Gulf of Thailand. This involves power failure or the hypoxia (deprivation of adequate oxygen supply) due to cabin failure. Facts that are supporting the theory...

Extended suicide theory

Just like the crew escape theory, this one makes sense only with some assumptions, but with lack of evidence cannot be proved or disproved. Facts that are supporting the theory: - according to some sources Captain Shah had family problems, but were they big enough to consider suicide ...

Russian hijack theory

After Flight MH 17 was shot down over Ukraine by Russian forces in July 2014, there was a theory that Russia could have been behind the hijacking of the plane. In that theory two of them would draw attention of the crew, while the third would enter the computer chamber and take over control of the p...
