Boeing 777 malaysia airlines. Boeing with a mystery in the ocean: the almost three-year search for missing flight MH370 has been stopped

Two years ago, on March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777 passenger airliner belonging to Malaysia Airlines, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, mysteriously disappeared. 239 people (12 crew members and 227 passengers) disappeared along with the plane. From time to time, rescuers claim that they find the wreckage of the missing plane. But is it them? And what is known about the Malaysian ship today?

Were you looking in the wrong place?

The Boeing 777-200ER aircraft stopped communicating in the skies over the South China Sea 40 minutes after takeoff. Moreover, the liner underwent a full check just ten days before this flight. Initially, the operation to search for the crash site took place over this sea, but later moved to the Strait of Malacca, and then to the Indian Ocean, closer to the western coast of Australia. Rescuers explained such an extensive search line by the fact that, apparently, the Boeing 777, after disappearing from radar, remained in the sky for more than 7 hours, having greatly changed its route.

The first search operation took place in March - April 2014. Then 26 countries took part in it (Malaysia, USA, Singapore, Vietnam, China, etc.). And the search for the plane was carried out over an area of ​​7.7 million km², which is comparable to the size of Australia. 15 days after the search began, Malaysian authorities announced that the missing plane had crashed in the southern Indian Ocean. They came to this conclusion based on calculating the trajectory based on signals transmitted via Inmarsat satellites once an hour about the operation of Rolls-Royce engines. No other facts were found to support this statement.

In mid-April 2014, the search moved underwater, using the Bluefin-21 unmanned autonomous submarine. 340 square miles of seabed were explored, but no traces of the missing airliner were found there either.

Only almost a year after the plane disappeared, in January 2015, did the Malaysian authorities officially declare everyone on board the aircraft dead. The cause of death for each was listed as “accidental.”

Report without answer

A year after the incident, on March 8, 2015, the international investigative team gave a preliminary report on the results of the technical investigation. But the report did not contain any information about what happened to the liner. The only thing they were able to analyze then was the work of control managers air traffic. As it turned out, the senior air traffic controller in Kuala Lumpur slept for 4 hours after the Boeing disappeared from radar. Controllers in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam) began to find out the reason why the plane did not enter their air space not after 2 minutes, as expected, but only after 20.

And Malaysia Airlines itself was not distinguished by its speed, which should be in such cases. The emergency situation was declared only 5 hours and 13 minutes after the last news of the liner. And the search operation began with a significant delay, although in such situations every minute is important. After all, the rescuers themselves and the Malaysian authorities have repeatedly said that in a matter of seconds, the current can pick up debris and carry it away in an unknown direction.

Fake wreckage

A few days after the plane disappeared, rumors appeared that its wreckage was allegedly found in the South China Sea. However, management civil aviation Malaysia immediately denied them. What was mistaken for part of an airliner turned out to be just an algae-covered shell of a cable reel.

A little later, information appeared that the Australian Maritime Safety Authority had discovered two objects that may belong to Boeing. Immediately, China stated that it noticed large debris - approximately 22 by 30 meters. Following them, the crew of a Royal New Zealand Air Force plane allegedly discovered debris in the southern Indian Ocean that may be related to the missing Boeing 777. But none of this was confirmed.

The first real wreckage of the Boeing 777 was discovered after a year and a half of searching, in July 2015. Moreover, this was done not by rescuers, but by cleaners on Reunion Island, located in the Indian Ocean. And this is more than 4,000 kilometers west of the deep-sea search, on which, by the way, more than $50 million was spent. The fragment turned out to be part of an airplane wing, about 2.5 meters long and covered with shells on the surface.

Later, after the exploration of the island by Malaysians, in August 2015, a number of other aircraft items were discovered. Then the assumptions were confirmed: the found fragment definitely belonged to the Boeing.

The next news about the plane was from local residents Philippines in October 2015. Allegedly, teenagers while hunting for birds came across the wreckage of a plane with the flags of Malaysia and human bodies near. The Philippine authorities took over the inspection of the territory and immediately denied this information.

Another six months later, the world was again talking about the Malaysian airliner. In January of this year, debris was discovered in southern Thailand that could belong to the missing Boeing. Residents of Nakhon Si Thammarat province discovered a large curved metal object on the ocean shore. But neither the authorities nor experts have confirmed that this fragment is actually related to the airliner. It turned out that the serial number of the part, the numbers of the bundle of wires and bolts do not match the numbers Boeing aircraft 777.

End of the search

A week ago, on March 2, 2016, new information appeared about the missing Boeing 777. A metal fragment about a meter long was found off the coast of Mozambique. Presumably this is a horizontal stabilizer - a wing-shaped part attached to the tail of the aircraft. So far, only the territory indicates that this fragment belongs to Boeing: in the same part of the Indian Ocean, a fragment of a wing was found in July last year. The find will be studied by representatives of Australia and Malaysia, as well as “international specialists.”

It turns out that, in fact, only three relatively small fragments of all the finds could actually belong to the missing plane. Moreover, neither the bodies of the victims, nor the suitcases with things, nor the black box were found during two years of searching. And this despite the fact that more than 80 thousand square kilometers were combed with a total search area of ​​120 thousand kilometers.

According to the International Search Coordination Center, underwater search operations will be phased out in June 2016. But if in two years there is no clarity about what happened to the unfortunate Boeing 777-200, then it is unlikely that it will appear in another four months of the time allotted for the search.

British virtual tracker Ian Wilson is a video engineer by profession. He discovered an object similar to an airplane using the Google Maps resource. I saw him lying in the inaccessible jungles of Cambodia.

A photo in which the virtual tracker spotted the plane.

Yang has no doubt: this object is the plane - most likely the same one - the Malaysian Boeing 777-200, which on March 8, 2014, flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, disappeared in the most mysterious way along with 239 passengers.

Based on the contours of the discovered airliner, it was the right one. Only almost 6 meters longer - not 63.7 meters, but 70.

The tail fell off, the tracker explains, and lies a little further from the fuselage. Hence the "extension".

The main objection of skeptics: the photo from space used by Google Maps could have been accidentally captured by a plane flying over the jungle. In addition, four years have passed since the loss, quite enough for lush tropical vegetation to completely hide the liner. And it’s strange that the car in the photo is almost intact. Even if the plane had not crashed from a great height, but had tried to land in the jungle, it would most likely have broken into several large fragments.

No,” Wilson dismisses doubts. Like, I checked it using one of the resource options - “escape ground view”. The plane is down.

Could the virtual tracker have “stumbled upon” not MH370, but some other Boeing 777-200? Excluded - no other similar ones fell in this area of ​​Cambodia. At least aviation experts nothing is known about such disasters.

Wilson said he would like to get to the crash site he discovered himself. After all, Malaysian and Australian specialists, who, albeit to no avail, are officially busy searching for the remains of the liner, as a rule, do not respond to the “signals” of virtual trackers. Or they brush them off.

BY THE WAY

And here's another Boeing

Competing with Wilson is Australian Peter McMahon, who has long been passionate about investigating aircraft accidents. Using Google Maps, he also saw the silhouette of a crashed Malaysian Boeing. But in another place - under water. If he gets to it, he will have to dive.

In March 2018, McMahon pointed out: The Boeing lies in shallow water about 16 kilometers south of Round Island, one of the Seychelles. The satellite photo shows both the wings and the fuselage.

The Australian Transport and Safety Bureau told McMahon that the plane he discovered could well be the one he was looking for. But no action was taken. The Malaysian authorities also responded. But more harshly: they asked not to mislead people.

McMahon somehow saw that the fuselage of the airliner was full of holes. It’s as if it’s been pierced by machine-gun fire.

And one more

In 2016, the Malaysian Boeing was found by Scott Waring, a famous ufologist and virtual archaeologist among those who look for anomalies in images transmitted from other planets, for example, from Mars.

Scott assures that he did not specifically search for the missing airliner. I was looking for traces UFO that were spotted in the Cape area Good Hope(Cape of Good Hope) in 2013. And for this purpose, I looked at photographs of the area posted on Google Earth. I saw the outline of the plane. He lies under water. Almost whole.

A Boeing 777-200 airliner of Malaysia Airlines (MAS) with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board, flying jointly with the Chinese China Southern Airlines flight MH370 from the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing (China), (March 7, 22.40 Moscow time), without giving any signals about problems on board, other problems or a change in course. The last message from the plane was: “Everything is fine, good night.”

At the moment of last contact - literally a minute before entering the air control zone of Vietnam - the airliner was 220 kilometers from east coast Malaysia. The weather in the area of ​​the disappearance was good. The plane was flown by experienced pilots (the captain, 53-year-old Malaysian Zachary Ahmad Shah, had worked at MAS since 1981, with almost 18,500 hours of flight time; 27-year-old co-pilot Farik Ab Namid had 2,763 hours of flight time). The airliner underwent 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 French, three US citizens, two each New Zealanders, Ukrainians and Canadians, one resident each from Russia, Italy, the Netherlands and Austria. However, the real nationality of at least two of those on board was then called into question due to evidence that they used stolen passports. According to Interpol, the two Iranians were traveling on the passports of an Austrian and an Italian. According to the international law enforcement organization, they were not related to terrorists, but were heading to Europe as illegal migrants.

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

The missing Boeing was carrying not only passengers, but also more than seven tons of cargo, some of which was not named. transportation documents. The plane was carrying 4,566 tons of mangosteens (the fruit 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. A Malaysian Airlines spokesman said the cargo consisted of "radio accessories and chargers."

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

In April 2015, the governments of Malaysia, Australia and China participating in the search operation doubled the search, as a result of which it was expanded to 120 thousand 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 a number of governments, by that time there was no sign of the aircraft.

The first in 16 months as part of the investigation into the circumstances of the disappearance of the Boeing 777-200 airliner of Malaysia Airlines was a fragment of a wing (flaperon designed to control the roll angle), found on July 29, 2015 at French island Reunion in the Indian Ocean is thousands of kilometers from the area of ​​the main exploration work being carried out near Australia. The wreckage of an unidentified plane was found by beach cleaners near the city of San Andre. It was filled with shells, indicating a long stay in the water.

After the found fragment of the plane, specialists from the Australian-led Search Coordination Center (JACC), Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, as well as the French prosecutor's office, believed that it belonged to the missing airliner.

By the end of 2015 there were search areas. Other debris was also found in the Indian Ocean.

Summer 2016. In July, media reported, citing Malaysian police documents, that the pilot of Malaysian airliner MH370, Zachary Ahmad Shah, had taken a simulator flight into the southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane allegedly disappeared in the same area. According to the documents, Malaysian police provided the FBI with hard drives on which the pilot recorded routes practiced in a homemade home flight simulator. Investigators believe the path taken by MH370's commander is largely consistent with the one the plane may have followed before it disappeared. Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai later said there was no evidence that the pilot of the missing airliner intentionally sent it into the ocean.

In August, Australian media, citing an analysis by the Australian Department of Defense, said that a Boeing 777-200 fell into the Indian Ocean at high speed, which may indicate uncontrolled crash. According to the automatic signals that the airliner gave in the last minutes of the flight, the plane fell "very quickly - at speeds of 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 one, and 15 minutes later the right one.”

On January 17, 2017, representatives of Australia, Malaysia and China lost the Malaysian Boeing MH370, which lasted more than two years. According to the joint statement of the three states, despite all efforts made, the use of the latest technologies, modeling techniques and consultations of highly qualified and best-in-class specialists, the aircraft could not be found during the search.

Conducting searches for the missing MH370 Malaysia for individuals and organizations.

At the end of February 2017, 25 pieces of MH370 debris had been confirmed. Malaysia has reached a memorandum of understanding with African countries whose shores are washed by the Indian Ocean. According to the agreement, the African side pledged to help recover any likely debris that might wash up on its shores.

Team investigating the disappearance of the aircraft, which will be published within a year.

Why is Boeing missing over Indian Ocean At first they were looking in the wrong place, and when the wreckage was found, they looked for it for only a few days, and then they abandoned the search altogether? And no one is embarrassed that new plane wreckage continues to be found, but let’s talk about everything in order.

New information has emerged regarding Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 on flight MH370 from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew 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 yield much results, only mysterious white objects were periodically found, which, it is assumed, could be fragments of the missing plane.

The last hope for continuing the search was fueled by the found radio signal of the black box, but soon it too disappeared. Whether this was a signal from the missing plane is still unknown.

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

After the Malaysian authorities confirmed that the found fragments belonged to the missing airliner, relatives of the passengers of the missing Boeing staged a real protest in Beijing. After all, the search was initially conducted in the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca. The enormous resources of the 26 states that took part in the search were essentially wasted, because, according to relatives dead passengers, in Kuala Lumpur they had long known about the deviation of the plane’s course, but continued to conduct searches in the areas indicated above.

Why was society misinformed?

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

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

According to Dugen, the United States even knows where to look for the wreckage of the Boeing 777-200, so they are officially searching in another place, distant from where the plane actually crashed. He suggests that the airliner crashed near military base USA, located in the Indian Ocean on the island of Diego Garcia.

In order not to be held 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 washed ashore on Reunion Island.
By the way, searches in this area have been suspended, and they lasted only 10 days.
This raises a completely logical question: If the search for the plane took months in the South China Sea, then why in this case was the search completed so quickly?
Don't you think this is strange? And maybe there really is something upstream?

The found debris was sent for examination to Australia. A number on one of the recovered aircraft pieces indicates it belongs to the missing Boeing 777 flight MH370.

Now everything comes together.
The wreckage of the plane was carried 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 apparent and the intention to hide the facts becomes obvious.

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

The US FBI has released one version of the plane crash of a Malaysian Boeing flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March 2014, TASS reports citing the American magazine New York.

From all this we can conclude that some people decided to prevent the development of camouflage technologies in order to maintain a monopoly on their ownership or, conversely, to steal scientists along with the technologies. In any case, it is clear that someone is slowing down the investigation and leading on the wrong trail.

06 01 18 The Malaysian government approved a new attempt to find the wreckage of flight MH 370. The Ocean Infinity campaign will do this. The costs of searching for the missing aircraft will only be paid if it is found. Ocean Infinity will search near Australian waters over 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), it was the largest aviation search in history. At the same time, satellite images were studied and ocean drifts were studied. The ATSB report said the chances of finding the plane were now much higher. Let's see what happens.
