MH370

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.

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.

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.

“Some of the next of kin that we have spoken to do believe that there are people or that there’s information out there that they don’t have. “But the next of kin that we speak to are desperate for them to search again. “It’s interesting, because we also have in the series Fuad Sharuji, who was the former crisis director [at Malaysia Airlines], and Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, who was the head of the Civil Aviation [Authority] at the time, and the task that they had was enormous. Fuad would say that they had — from the moment that plane went missing, because it was all across the internet — they were getting reports that it landed in the jungles of Java, or that it had been sighted over Cambodia,” Malkinson said. There are so many people that got involved that genuinely just wanted to help, and Cyndi had seen these images of these poor families on the screens and was just wanting to try and help find the plane. “We know where people are because of their phones, we know where people are because of satellites and radar.

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.

“He turns the plane to the south and he flies straight into the darkness, waiting for his fuel to run out,” says Wise. Shah was then ordered to land the plane but ignored the instructions. He then gets his co-pilot to leave the cockpit on some pretext, locks the door and disables electronics to make the plane disappear on the radar. “This could be at the heart of what happened to MH370.” Now a Netflix documentary tries to explore what might have happened to the plane and all the theories about the mysterious disappearance of MH370. This theory suggests that the Americans intercepted MH370 as it was carrying a huge amount of electronics. “But it is impossible to fly the aircraft from the avionics compartment.” “It’s public knowledge that China was very eager to acquire highly sensitive US technology in the field of surveillance, stealth, drone technology,” she said. She says that she saw what supposedly was the MH370 debris in the South China Sea, miles from the search area. What happened to the plane? A military radar still tracked it and according to data, it took a sudden diversion from the route and leaving its northeastern course, it started heading to the west towards the Malay peninsula. The Netflix documentary, MH370: The Plane That Disappeared, looks at theories and discoveries that were reportedly brushed aside.

But Mr Dugain cited witnesses in the Maldives who reportedly saw a “huge plane flying at a really low altitude” towards the island. Mr Wise claims there were three “ethnic Russians” among the passengers on board – one of whom was sitting near the hatch leading to the electronics compartment. The 2018 investigative report found the plane’s course was changed manually, but they did not name a suspect and raised the possibility of “intervention by a third party”. It sparked a huge search operation, led by Australia, which scoured 46,000 square miles of the southern Indian Ocean and cost an estimated £100m, before being called off in January 2017. That was the last known communication at 1.19am to Malaysian Air Traffic Control just before it left Malaysian airspace to enter Vietnamese airspace.

Netflix just released a new series: “MH370 The Plane That Disappeared,“ renewing interest in one of the biggest aviation mysteries of all time.

A handful of personal belongings have since been found, washed up on beaches in places like Madagascar. ...

Soon afterward, at 1:21 a.m., as the plane was about to enter Vietnamese airspace, the aircraft’s transponder stopped sending location data. It also became shorthand for the particular Boeing 777-200 airliner that disappeared on March 8, 2014.

The new Netflix documentary MH370: The Plane That Disappeared revisited the plane's disappearance but left out some crucial information.

[Unfortunately, the MH370 documentary](https://screenrant.com/gunthers-millions-true-crime-documentary-secretly/) doesn't dive into the information that has come out in more recent years, like everything Godfrey has investigated. This is not enough information to come to the consensus that Zaharie was behind When it comes to MH370's debris, the documentary dives into Blaine Gibson's mission to find the debris, which he accomplished. [scene of the Netflix documentary](https://screenrant.com/netflix-ted-bundy-tapes-documentary-reveals/), Jiang Hui, the son of an MH370 passenger, mentions that while waiting for answers, a girl came running up to him, showing that she was receiving a phone call from her father, who was on the plane. The Netflix documentary does showcase the frustration of citizens waiting for answers that never came, but with all the theories it presents, it never fully dives into the Malaysian government. [One theory in the Netflix documentary](https://screenrant.com/taylor-swift-miss-americana-documentary-netflix-leaves-out-explained/) that is heavily emphasized is Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah's involvement. [that the Netflix documentary does not cover](https://screenrant.com/britney-spears-netflix-framing-documentaries-comparison-better/), and had it, the series would have had a lot more to offer. Many who were close to the captain confirmed that he'd confessed to being lonely and sad. The MH370 documentary dives into many different aspects of the story, but a key component it ignores is the Malaysian government's role. The government was likely trying to keep citizens calm and save themselves from looking bad after what happened to the plane. For example, Wise raises the theory that the pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah was responsible for the flight's disappearance, while others shared theories of Russian involvement or interference from the American Government. Where the plane went and what caused its disappearance has remained a mystery for nearly a decade.

The tragic disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight is still unexplained, but it has sparked a number of possible explanations.

One theory forwarded in the documentary claims that Russian hijackers may have taken over and crashed the plane to distract from the annexation of Crimea. However Goong Chen, a mathematician from Texas A&M University, has suggested that a vertical descent into the sea could explain the lack of crash wreckage. In the subsequent years there have been three pieces of debris positively identified as being from MH370, with a It is thought that the flight could have continued for around six hours before running out of fuel. The case has been back in the news recently with the release of a new Netflix documentary, entitled ‘MH370: The Plane That Disappeared’. At 2.22am the flight reached the edge of military ranger and soon after it disappeared entirely, with no distress calls or signals.
