"Unveiling the Enigma: Decoding the Mysteries of the Air crash"

The day was 8th of march 2014, a Malaysian airlines flight took off from Kuala Lumpur ( capital of Malaysia) and its actual destination was to reach Beijing ( capital of China). But did not reached at its actual destination. And till date, no one knowns about the whereabout of this flight. But finally after full long 8 years we've found a clue about the location of aircraft.

 Welcome, aviation enthusiasts and curious minds, to a journey through the skies that takes us into the heart of mystery and intrigue. In this blog, I will embark on a riveting exploration of the enigmatic world of air crashes – those haunting incidents that have left us with more questions than answers.

Keep yourself calm and start reading carefully.

The date was 8th of march flight MH370, an aircraft of Malaysian airlines was bounded to take off from the Kuala Lumper and to be landed in the Beijing . 2 pilots along with 10 cabin crew and about 227 passengers were boarding on this flight. Ofcourse flight was moving towards China so most of the passengers were belonging from China. Both the pilots were highly experienced. Among them one was 53 years old Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah with almost 33 years of experienced. And 27 years old co -pilot Abdula Hameed having 7 years of experience. Now talking about this airplane it was around 11 years old Boeing 777 aircraft in which there was no problem found nor was a victim of any fault in the past. What here I want to tell is that it was completely a regular flight running between this route. And the complete time for journey was around 5 hours and 34 mins.

But today was not at all a normal day for this flight rather it was much more than abnormal. Ofcourse flight MH370 was supposed to fly for about 5 hours and 34 mins, but before takeoff, it was loaded with extra fuel with which it can fly for about 7 hours 41 mins. And this is completely a routine practice of airlines to do so . So that is the plane is diverted owing to the bad weather / emergency then it could utilize the extra fuel. On 8th March around 12:42 AM flight took off from its destination as its regular routine and it turned its direction towards South China Sea.

After exactly 20 mins i.e. at 1:09 AM the transponder on the aircraft sent its current GPS location to the radar of the Kuala Lumpur Air traffic control tower. this is the automatic function of the transponder to send its current location to the nearest radars after the short period. till now every thing was going according to plan. Immediately, exactly after 10 mins i.e. at 01:19 AM when flight MH370 left Malaysian air jurisdiction and entered into Vietnamese air jurisdiction. the control tower of Kuala Lumpur contacted 1st pilot for the very last time and captain said this " MA370 CONTACT HO CHI MINH .120.9 GOOD NIGHT". This means now flight should contact the control tower of the Vietnamese city of HO CHI MINH . No one was knowing that this good night message to be received from MH370 was the last one. Now it normally happens that until the plane reaches its destination , it stays in contact with the air traffic control tower of any major airport coming its way. But everything that was going normally till now started becoming abnormal.

Yes exactly after 3 mins of his message i.e. at 01:21 AM , flight MH370 suddenly disappeared from radar . That is , the plan had completely disappeared from the radar of both i.e. Kuala Lumpur and HO CHI MINH . but this was completely normal for Kuala Lumpur tower because they thought that flight had now entered Vietnamese airspace that's the reason why it has been disappeared from the radar. But when the HO CHI MINH control tower saw the flight MH370 disappearing from their radar and at that time they felt something wrong . They immediately tried to contact the captains, but no response from there end were observed. for the next 18 mins the tower tried to contact the flight but again no response. The HO CHI MINH tower contacted Kuala Lumpur tower and briefed them with the situation. Now normally in this condition the rescue center has to be informed within just an hour but Kuala Lumpur tower informed the aeronautical rescue coordination center after 4 hours. And by then it was too late. It was around 06:1 AM and this was the time when MH370 was scheduled to land in Beijing.

Now there was an hope that the aircraft might land in Beijing at the correct time. But no positive news came from there either. At 06:32AM, a search operation has been started at the exact place from where the plane was disappeared. 34 ships and 28 aircrafts from seven different countries started searching for flight MH370 on the boarder of the Gulf of Thailand and South China Sea. But unfortunately , there was no trace of the aircraft. By this time, the whole world had come to know about this incident. during this, the investigation team of many countries also became a par. this search operation continued for the next 4 days . there was no trace. but then on the 4th day a news which shook the entire recuse team. when flight disappeared from the radar at 1:21AM on 8th March , it had disappeared from the civilian radar but remained on the radar of the Malaysian military for next 1 hour.😟😟

 And what happened after that was like this, after disappearing from the civilian radar, for a few mins the aircraft started moving towards the right. And then took a U turn and turned back again towards Malaysia. After 31 mins the aircraft crossed the Malaysian city of Penang and then turned towards the Malacca Strait. Flight was last detected up to certain point in the Indian ocean as far as the range of military radar could detect. And the time was around 2:22 AM. And guess what happened next was just unbelievable. After this MH370 neither showed up on military radar nor on any civilian radar. The entire rescue team and every person associated with this plan were trying to solve one mystery that where did the aircraft gone??? What bothered them most was that why did the plane took an sharp U turn in the direction exactly opposite Beijing??? The rescue team that was actually looking in the the Gulf of Thailand now started their search in the Indian ocean again here it changed the whole situation.

The airplane disappeared from the military radar at 01:22 AM , but there was a satellite with which it was in the constant contact. Chalo let me update you guys here , that it is pretty normal for Boeing airplanes to try to contact the satellite when their own communication systems fails due to some reasons. The plane automatically tried to connect to a satellite named  "INMARSAT" 35,000 KM away , after exactly 1 hour with the help of data saved on this satellite , experts performed a complex calculations. So finally the next move was learned that Malaysian aircraft again took a turn after disappearing from the military radar. And kept flying over the Indian ocean in the same direction for the next 5 hours. At 08:19 AM , the aircraft tired to connect to the satellite for one last time. And this was the last signal from MH370. After this, neither did the plan contacted any other satellite nor did it showed up on any of the radar. That is when the rescue team 1st started searching for the aircraft, at the moment , the aircraft was actually flying. But its location was far away from there. Experts and the investigation team believed that the plan's connection to the satellite was lost after coming to that certain curved spot in the Indian Ocean, 2000 km west towards Australia. And the total fuel in the aircraft was also this much. So there where high chances now that flight may have crashed into that curved spot, due to the running of fuel. That curved area was much more bigger than the whole India. And a deep sea search operation was started here. it was very important to find MH370 because until the plan and its black box are found it would remain unknown what happened inside the aircraft before the crash. The process of searching for the plan went on not for just a month, but for many years. But no clue of the plan was found . After long 3 years the deep sear operation was stopped. In which more than $160 million were spent . No clue was found initially. But back in 2015 i.e. after 1 year the plane's right Flaperon(used during the landings) reached on the beach of the Island of Reunion. When this Flaperon was investigated, another horrible reality was revealed. Experts believe that this Flaperon was not extended when MH370 crashed in the water. And sadly this means that while crashing on the water, the aircraft fell into the sea on its nose. Many other parts and debris of the plane were found from the shores of the Africa during the next several years. But till date, there's no clue of the plane or the passengers. to this day , no one knows what might have happened inside Malaysian flight MH370 before it disappeared. 

Some investigators suspect that the plane was hijacked. While some believe that due to electrical failure the aircraft's contact with the outside world was broken and due to lack of oxygen all the people inside the aircraft were fainted. Well the actual reasons, can only knowns from recordings saved inside the black box of the plane. In feb 2022, after full complete 8th years of the disappearance of MH370, the aircraft was once again expected to be found.👀👀 

RICHARD GOUFREY , a British retired aerospace engineer has claimed that he have found out the actual location of the plane through weak signal propagation analysis, and surprisingly, the pin point location which Richard has mentioned is present in the same curved area of the Indian ocean, Richard believe that wreck of missing Malaysian Airlines is lying 4000 meters below the ocean at the exact place he had mentioned. The depth is the same as to where TITANIC laid for 74 years, before it was discovered in 1985. Now how seriously do Malaysian authorities take the claim of this retired aerospace engineer and whether a new search operation is launched at this claimed location or not, now only time will tell.😟😩

As we bring this journey of exploration and investigation to a close, we find ourselves reflecting on the twists and turns that have characterized the investigation into the mysterious air crash. What began as a tragic event soon turned into a captivating enigma, leaving us with questions that still linger in the air.

The families and loved ones of the victims are left with aching hearts and an unquenchable thirst for closure. As I conclude this series, it's important to remember that these events are not just stories – they represent lives that were abruptly cut short, dreams that were shattered, and futures that were forever altered. My thoughts and sympathies remain with those who are still grappling with the aftermath of this tragedy.😔

"Stay curious, stay informed, and may the skies above always be a symbol of hope rather than uncertainty". Until next time!!!!
