Vienna / Kuala Lumpur. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah said "Good night, Malay three seven zero zero" on Saturday, March 8, 2014 at 1:19 am at the Malaysian Air Traffic Control. A little later, the radar systems have captured the latest signals from the Boeing 777 of the airline Malaysia Airlines, which came from Kuala Lumpur to go to Beijing. Subsequently, all communication systems were silenced at one of the transfer points between the Malaysian and Vietnamese air traffic controllers. All that has happened subsequently is and remains one of the greatest mysteries in the history of aviation.
The fate of flight MH370 with 239 people on board – the majority of Chinese – remains uncertain. This has not been changed by a report of more than 490 pages, presented Monday by the Malaysian authorities.
One thing is certain: the plane changed direction, headed south and could have traveled up to seven hours along the existing routes and also in areas that have big radar holes. Although none of the radio or localization systems worked long ago, the aircraft automatically transmitted satellite data, the so-called handshakes, which landed in a satellite company in London. The last location of MH370 is a 60,000 square kilometer area located in the Indian Ocean. Despite extensive research, not a single debris has appeared until today.
Where is the wreck?
Relatives of the 227 pbadengers and twelve crew members were upset by the presentation of the report in the capital, Kuala Lumpur. After all these years of uncertainty, they needed concrete clues about where the missing machine was located. But concrete can not – and will not – name the report. "The team is unable to determine the reason for the disappearance of MH370," he says. According to the head of the investigation team, Kok Soo Chon, the answers can only be given after the discovery of the wreckage.
We still do not know where this is, even after several expensive and expensive searches. It is only towards the end of May that the last attempt was made to locate the aircraft on the seabed. For three months, the US company Ocean Infinity has traveled 112,000 square kilometers in the southern Indian Ocean, without success. The previous year, Australian teams (which are closest to the alleged crash zone), China and Malaysia had conducted a search operation of 126 million euros, without success.
Although debris has been stranded in the Indian Ocean since 2014, people were hoping for clarification. However, only three could be clearly attributed because of the embossed figures: a wing flap, which was beached on the Reunion, part of a wing flap and others wrecks, which were found on the coasts of Mauritius and Tanzania. However, it is not possible to provide information about the wreck – and especially the black box that contains all the important records.
One thing is certain: the reversal of the machine and the stop of the radio and positioning systems were carried out, It could not be ruled out that the two pilots were responsible, and he could not be ruled out that a "third party" be involved, according to the leader of the investigation team. The past of the crew and pbadengers was examined: No abnormalities were detected. The load of the machine, including lithium batteries and 2500 kilograms of tropical fruit mangosteen, is not suspicious, at least according to the newspapers.
Since the disappearance of the plane, conspiracy theories have flourished: Has it been removed? You killed me? Did the pilot commit suicide and take the pbadengers to death? Has anyone taken remote control? All of these issues have been studied, according to Chief Investigator Kok Soo Chon. Because none of these theories contains enough clues. The Malaysian transport minister, who has been in office for only three months, certainly does not want to talk about a final report: research can and must be resumed at any time as new evidence emerges
