Nine years ago, on March 2014, the Malaysian plane MH370 disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur airport (Malaysia) to Beijing airport (China). Over the years, there were many theories about the disappearance.
The most 'popular' theory was that of the pilot's plan to commit suicide and take the plane with its passengers and crew ( 239 people) down with him. The second 'popular' theory was that the plane, a huge Boeing 777, was carrying something or someone, that a certain factor wanted gone and never to be found.
Since 2014, there have been some three major very expensive searches, and three main countries involved: Malaysia, Australia (the plane was believed to have dissappeared close to her area), and China (most of the passengers - 153 - were chinese). Nothing conclusive. Some examined debris found in the Indian Ocean and other areas, gave no indication as to the location of the missing plane.
Now, we are being told by aviation experts that the mystery could be solved in a matter of days with the help of advanced technology. They propose a new search based on the belief that the plane was hijacked and deliberately downed into the ocean ( in fact, that resembles the theory with the pilot's suicidal plan).
The missing MH370 has captivated my attention for many months. It's sadly, one of the best mystery stories ever! I do want the plane to be found, as this will bring some closure and comfort to the families of the victims, and on the way, will satisfy our curiosity.
Wow, I had never heard of this mystery. So sad for the family of the people who were innocent and are missing. It would be wonderful for them if they finally found out what happened. I look forward to you posting about it when it does.
ReplyDeleteHi Alicia . It's good to hear from you.
DeleteIf and when a new search will be carried out, I'll again be attracted to follow the news., and probably posting about it. It's a fascinating subject to anyone who gets on a plane.
Did you hear the theory it landed on a mysterious island? I remember that one, though I don't recall why it was said to have landed on an island. It was alongside the "secret faction wanted someone taken out" idea.
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a mystery. I think the truth is probably a simple crash, maybe engine failure.
There were many theories at the time, Sandy, including engine failure. I can't recall all of them, but the Indian Ocean, seas, and islands were indeed the usual discussed places.
DeleteIt's hard to believe that mystery has gone on for so long, Duta. Maybe, answers are right around the corner.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Well, that's a fact, Martha. Perhaps one of the past theories is after all, the right one. Who knows.
DeleteWe'll see what happens next, if a new search will be carried out. Then, we'll be more clever.
Only time might tell.
ReplyDeleteNine(9) years is not enough time, Christine? How much time is needed? It's not a needle, it is a huge plane (or it was ; maybe the sharks devoured it, who knows?).
DeleteA heart breaking mystery for far too many people and families. I hope it can be resolved.
ReplyDeleteHeart breaking indeed. I'm very much for the new search proposed. The families of the victims deserve an answer. Besides, aviation and people travelling by plane will also benefit from the conclusions of the solved mystery.
DeleteI remember that tragedy. That will probably be one of the many unsolved cases.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to forget such a tragedy. Hopefully, the mystery will get solved.
DeleteI really hope they find the plane one day..I have been wondering what happened to it too.
ReplyDeleteYour hope, Angie, is the hope of many. In fact, any person that gets on a plane wants to know what happened to the Malasian MH370.
DeleteI'm sure I heard about the tragedy when it happened, but since then it had fallen off my radar. Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome.
DeleteNaturally, because of the passing of time, occurences, even tragic ones, get forgotten.
It would be helpful to know what happened, in order to prevent it from happening again. Aviation authorities have learned from many disasters. It must be terrible for families who do not know what led to it.
ReplyDeleteExactly. A two -fold goal: prevention of another such disaster, and closure for the relatives.
DeleteI had forgotten about this one. I hope technology and can make the discovery we need. Thanks so much for this post! Here's to good things to 2024. All the best to your health and much more!
ReplyDeleteI believe there's a good chance that a new search could provide plausible evidence as to the fate of the missing plane.
DeleteHere's to at least, one good thing that could happen in 2024!
I remember that and it's hard to believe they can't solve it with all the technology that is available today. I feel for all the families that lost someone on that flight.
ReplyDeleteTechnology or not, searches for the missing plane should never stop. Malaysia and China owe it to the victims and their families.
DeleteIt is indeed a fascinating mystery. I sometimes wonder that new technology might yield new results, but I don't know that we'll ever know.
ReplyDeleteAs a mystery story , it's great. However, we cannot feel any pleasure or excitement from reading about it. 239 lives lost, and their relatives thrown into a long suffering.
DeleteI wonder if the advanced technology will give a final solution that is accepted by most people. Everyone seemed totally wedded to one belief or another, even before the first research was published.
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify my point, consider the pandemic called Spanish Flu in 1918-1919 where millions of people died. Yet Spain was NEVER the source of the killer virus. The US was, most likely.
In matters like viruses and bacteria the source is hard to detect even scientifically. See Covid.. Everyone is convinced China is the source, and yet I don't know of any written, conclusive report on that.
DeleteIn the case of the missing plane, new technology might give the solution.
Ojalá se encuentre pronto, para tranquilidad de las familias.
ReplyDeleteGracias por tus buenos deseos, amiga Duta.
Y aunque ustedes ya celebraron en año nuevo, te envío mis mejores deseos, para que pronto acabe esa guerra, y que Dios te de mucha salud.
Un abrazo.
Thank you Manuel for your wishes of peace and good health. I highly appreciate your comments on my little blog, and hope we'll continue to be blog friends in year 2024 too.
ReplyDeleteMay you have a blessed, happy 2024 with good health and prosperity!
So heart breaking for too many people and families. It would be wonderful if the mystery could be resolved.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
PS Having trouble commenting, you may end up with two comments from me! Blogger works in mysterious ways sometimes.
Oh,yes. I also think it would be wonderful to solve the mystery, and find the plane.
DeleteBom dia. Quero agradecer pelo seu carinho e amizade, desejo um Feliz Ano Novo com muita paz e saúde. Sei sua comemoração de ano novo é diferente. Grande abraço carioca do seu amigo do Rio de Janeiro Brasil.
ReplyDeleteThank you Luiz for your kind words , and your best wishes of peace and good health for me.
DeleteHugs and Blessings to you on the New Year 2024!
I'm all for the new search. I can't imagine living all these years without knowing what happened to loved one(s). Wishing you peace and some safety in the coming year.
ReplyDeleteMe, too. We shouldn't give up hope. There's a lot at stake here.
DeleteThanks Alana for your wishes of peace and safety for me.
Wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
Happy New Year, Duta. May it bring peace. 🌹
ReplyDeleteThanks. Happy New Year to you too, Sandi!
DeleteWishing you good health, peace , prosperity.
I hope you have a happy and healthy new year.
ReplyDeleteAmen! Wishing you the same - a Happy 2024 year!
DeleteIt's a mystery, it would be good to know what happened. Happy New Year! Wishing you and your family a happy and peaceful 2024.
ReplyDeleteI suppose they'll make a movie about it, if and when the plane is found.
DeleteHappy New Year to you and yours, Jo!
I too hope this is somehow solved for the sakes of those loved ones left behind. I wish you peace and comfort in the new year.
ReplyDeleteI have the feeling it's going to happen - that is, the solving of the mystery.
DeleteAll the Best to you in the New Year 2024!
I hope for the families left behind that this is solved at some point.
ReplyDeleteIf the aviation experts get the approval for a new search, then there will certainly be hope.
DeletePor muito grande que seja o oceano é sempre um mistério não haver pistas de espécie nenhuma.
ReplyDeleteConseguir-se-á, alguma vez, desvendar-se o mistério?
Abraço amigo.
Juvenal Nunes
Right. Despite the immensity of the ocean, there should have been some clue in it of the huge Boeing 777. Hopefully, the mystery will be solved this year.
ReplyDeletei am always curious about those kind of events... what had happened here...
ReplyDeleteIt's human and natural. After nine years, my curiosity and interest in the missing plane hasn't diminished or vanished.
DeleteI haven't thought about the plane over the years, as you said you had. I also haven't read any new theories or stories about this missing place. It would be so great if new technology could help solve this mystery.
ReplyDeleteI'm following the news to see whether the parties involved will accept the challenge of a new search as proposed by the aviation experts. It would be great!
