Check Out The Details Of The Disappearance Of The Flight With 239 Passengers That Remains A Great Mystery. However, There Are Now Chances Of Finding The Missing Plane Of Flight MH370.

Ten years ago, in the early hours of March 8, 2014, flight MH370 from Malaysia Airlines disappeared just 40 minutes after takeoff in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The weather conditions were good at the time when the aircraft simply vanished from the radar. The case of the disappearance of the flight with 239 passengers is considered one of the greatest mysteries in global aviation.

In total, 239 people, including 227 passengers, a large number of whom were Chinese, and 12 crew members, were on board the Boeing 777, which was headed to Beijing before becoming one of the greatest mysteries in aviation.

Even after so much time following the disappearance of the flight with 239 passengers, and despite some debris washing up on the east coast of Africa and the islands in the Indian Ocean, the exact location of the crash of the missing plane remains a mystery. In the days following the disappearance of flight MH370, the search area extended from Kazakhstan in Central Asia to Antarctica.

The area was gradually reduced based on satellite data, radar tracking, and analyses of ocean currents. On January 29, 2015, nearly a year after the incident, authorities officially declared that everyone on board the missing plane should be presumed dead.

This measure paved the way for compensation payments to the families. Two years later, in 2017, the search for the plane of flight MH370 was officially terminated. This was one of the most expensive operations of its kind ever conducted to date.

A Final Hope For The Relatives Impacted By The Aviation Mystery

However, a last thread of hope has taken hold of the relatives and friends of the victims. Last week, Malaysia’s Transport Minister, Anthony Loke, promised to invite the marine robotics company Ocean Infinity, based in Texas, to hear a proposal for conducting a new search operation for the disappearance of the flight with 239 passengers.

The efforts would focus on the southern Indian Ocean. According to the minister, if the evidence presented by the company is credible, it would be possible to seek Cabinet approval for a new contract to resume the searches.

It is worth noting that, following the disappearance of flight MH370, many relatives of victims accused the airline and the Malaysian government of withholding information about the case.

There are various theories about what may have actually happened. They range from the hypothesis that the plane was shot down due to sensitive cargo or a person on board, to reasons such as electrical failure, fire, sudden cabin depressurization, hijacking, terrorism, suicide, fighting, and spatial disorientation. However, nothing has been officially confirmed.

Police even searched the homes of the co-pilot and captain, finding no suspicious evidence. Even the food served on the missing plane and the aircraft’s cargo were investigated, yet the mystery continues to this day, remaining the greatest in aviation.

Barnacles Could Identify What Happened To Flight MH379

Researchers from the University of South Florida in the U.S. were responsible for a study published in the journal AGU Advances.

In the study, they highlight that the chemical structure of each layer of a barnacle, a crustacean that forms a kind of white plate on rocks, is determined by the water temperature at the time it was formed.

Considering this, scientists believe that chemical analysis could provide details, with some degree of accuracy, about the location of the plane’s crash in the Indian Ocean. The idea arose when photographs of the wreckage of the missing plane, which had been washed ashore in Africa a year after the accident, were analyzed.
