Hey guys ive seen some totally interesting videos on the theories of the disappearance of flight MH 370 and was just curious what you guys think happened to the plane and where it may be located in the Indian Ocean.
Basically what happened to this airplane is that it was a modern Boeing 777 that disappeared back in 2014. It was supposed to have flow from Malaysia to Beijing but made a u-turn and ended up flying south over the Indian Ocean before crashing into the water 6 hours later. No contact was heard after the turn back south. Her are the theories ive heard:
#1. There was a depressurization of the cabin which caused everyone on board to pass out and the plain simply kept flying south until it ran out of fuel. This could happen as the result of electrical or mechanical problems with the airplane and the fact that the pilots might have missed warning lights. If the cabin was depressurized it would cause everyone to pass out within a few minutes time if they were not wearing oxygen masks. There was no distress signal sent from the plane.
#2. The FBI in the USA tends to lean towards the idea that the plane was flown into the ocean by the pilot in an intentional act of murder/suicide. There are a few data points that support this.. the plane was turned around at exactly the switch over between malaysian airspace and vietnamese air space. The transponder was turned off however it could also have been turned off by an electrical short circuit. Some people also believe that the plane was flown along specific airspace routes or imaginary lines in the sky where pilots fly. This was true until it veered off into the south Indian ocean. The pilot also had flown a similar route on a home simulator that showed him veering off into the indian ocean and this route was deleted, although this could have been a coincidence.
#3. Theory 3 is that it was hijacked and the pilots never got the chance to send a distress signal. There were 2 Iranian nationals on board with stolen passports however the FBI believes that they were attempting to immigrate away from iran and had nothing to do with terrorism. They were extensively investigated. Against this theory is the fact that no terrorist organization has shown responsibility.
#4 a fire on board from some stored lithium batteries may have caused the plane to become inoperable and the pilots to be incapacitated. To support this the plane was carrying a large stock of new lithium batteries in the cargo hold.
Follow up: the plane was tracked through pings from the engines and not through transponders so they know a general area where it was located once an hour. There was debris that washed up across the Indian ocean in Madagascar 1 year later including several parts of the wing. It was not determined whether the plane was glided into the water or whether it simply dove in after running out a fuel. Ships have been searching for MH370 for years with no luck.
