MH370 Mystery Deepens After New Evidence

Summary

This video delves into the mystery surrounding the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, analyzing new research and theories about the flight's final moments. The investigation suggests that the plane's descent was deliberate, not due to a mechanical failure, and that the wreckage was likely intentionally ditched to avoid widespread debris. Evidence points to one of the pilots, Captain Zahari Ahmed Shah, as the most likely culprit. Despite extensive research, the full truth remains elusive, though there is hope the plane will be found soon, offering closure to the families of those on board.

Takeaways

• 😀 MH370's disappearance remains one of aviation's greatest mysteries, with ongoing efforts to uncover what happened.
• 😀 New analysis suggests that the plane's descent was deliberate and intentional, rather than a sudden crash.
• 😀 The plane likely descended at a rate of 14,000 feet per minute, which could have been part of a ditching maneuver to avoid a catastrophic crash.
• 😀 The right wing of the plane was believed to be deliberately maneuvered to touch the water first, causing the engine to detach and leading to the plane breaking into large pieces.
• 😀 The absence of significant debris supports the theory that the plane was intentionally broken apart during the ditching effort.
• 😀 Investigators believe that only someone with extensive aviation knowledge, likely one of the pilots, could have executed such a controlled descent.
• 😀 Captain Zahari Ahmed Shah, the pilot of the flight, became a prime suspect after it was discovered he had deleted a flight route matching the flight's trajectory from his home simulator.
• 😀 Although there are many theories, it remains impossible to definitively know what happened inside the cockpit due to limited available data and the lack of a recovered flight recorder.
• 😀 The search for MH370 continues with new data, and there are plans to search additional 15,000 square kilometers of the Indian Ocean, based on a no-find, no-fee agreement with Ocean Infinity.
• 😀 Experts like Richard Godfrey, Jean-Luc Marchand, and Captain Patrick Blelly have made significant contributions to the investigation, offering insights that could help locate the wreckage soon.

Q & A

What evidence suggests that there was an active pilot on Flight MH370?

Flight data showed that the plane's descent pattern, including circling over the crash location, indicates that the flight wasn't an accident but rather a maneuver that required a skilled pilot. This suggests that the pilot played an active role in controlling the aircraft.

Why was there so little debris found from Flight MH370?

Jean-Luc and Captain Blelly's analysis suggests that the plane did not crash but instead was deliberately ditched, meaning it was intentionally brought down in a controlled manner to avoid a destructive crash and minimize debris. This ditching process likely caused the plane to break into large pieces rather than small fragments.

What is the theory behind the plane’s descent at 14,000 feet per minute?

The steep descent rate of 14,000 feet per minute suggests that the descent was intentional, and not a random loss of control. Jean-Luc theorizes that the pilot actively maneuvered the plane to ditch it, possibly to avoid the plane breaking up prematurely or causing a larger-scale crash.

What does the term 'ditching' mean in aviation, and how is it related to Flight MH370?

Ditching refers to a controlled emergency landing, typically on water, done to maximize the chances of survival. In the case of Flight MH370, ditching may have been employed to bring the plane down without it breaking into many small pieces, avoiding a large debris field that could be easily spotted.

Why was Captain Zahari Ahmed Shah considered a suspect in the disappearance of Flight MH370?

Captain Zahari Ahmed Shah became a prime suspect because of a deleted flight route on his home flight simulator, which matched the final flight path of MH370. This raised suspicions that he may have deliberately caused the plane's disappearance.

Could anyone other than the pilots have been responsible for the incident?

According to Richard Godfrey, it’s unlikely that anyone other than the pilots or a hijacker would have had the necessary time and expertise to take control of the plane after the transponder was turned off. The short time window and the need for aviation knowledge suggest that the pilots were directly involved.

What is the significance of the data storage on Flight MH370?

Flight data storage could have provided crucial insights into the flight’s final moments, but only the last two and a half hours of cockpit audio would be recoverable. This limited data means that while we might get some answers, the full details of the flight's trajectory and decisions will likely remain unknown without the flight recorder.

What is Ocean Infinity’s role in the continued search for MH370?

Ocean Infinity, a deep-sea search team, has pledged to continue the search for MH370 based on new findings. They are working on a no-find, no-fee basis, meaning they will only receive payment if they locate the wreckage, and the Malaysian government has agreed to explore new areas for the search.

How are the civilian sleuths contributing to the MH370 investigation?

Civilian sleuths like Richard Godfrey, Jean-Luc Marchand, and others have contributed significantly by analyzing available data and offering new perspectives. Their volunteer efforts, particularly their expertise in aviation and satellite data, have helped bring clarity to the case and are pushing the search efforts forward.

What is the expected outcome of the search efforts for MH370?

While the exact outcome remains uncertain, experts like Jean-Luc Marchand and Richard Godfrey are hopeful that new search efforts based on recent findings will soon lead to the discovery of MH370, offering closure to the families of those lost and solving the long-standing mystery.
