Monday, March 11, 2024 – Shocking new documents have revealed last-minute changes made to the doomed MH370 flight that vanished ten years ago today, with an expert claiming the evidence shows the captain deliberately crashed in a shocking mass murder-suicide.
The plane's flight plan shows an extra 3,000kg of fuel was
added to the plane before takeoff, along with extra, unrequired - oxygen
supplied only to the cockpit.
Speaking to The Sun, Boeing 777 pilot Simon Hardy said the new details could be proof MH370 captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah planned the disappearance that continues to baffle experts.
He told the outlet: 'It's an incredible coincidence that
just before this aircraft disappears forever, one of the last things that was
done as the engineer says nil noted [no oxygen added], then someone else gets
on onboard and says it's a bit low.
'Well it's not really low at all,' he added. 'It's a strange
coincidence that the last engineering task that was done before it headed off
to oblivion was topping up crew oxygen which is only for the cockpit, not for
the cabin crew.'
The Boeing 777 aircraft vanished from radar while en route
from Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8,
2014. Satellite data showed the plane deviated from its flight path to head
over the southern Indian Ocean, where it is believed to have crashed.
Mr Hardy said the lack of oxygen in the back of the plane
would have knocked the cabin crew and passengers unconscious, allowing him to
carry out a premeditated plan without obstruction.
The extra fuel, he said, would have allowed the pilot an
extra 30 minutes of flying time, allowing him to crash the plane in daylight.
'If you want to do a good ditching, you do it in daylight or
at least half daylight,' he claimed.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished shortly after taking off on March 8, 2014 and the 239 people on-board were never seen again.
A multinational team carried out the largest search in
aviation history for the plane, but it failed to turn up any clues and the
operation was suspended in January 2017.
A private search in 2018 by US-based marine robotics company
Ocean Infinity also found nothing.
Debris confirmed or believed to be from the MH370
aircraft has since washed up along the African coast and on islands in the
Indian Ocean.
Mr Hardy told The Sun the discovery of downward-facing
flaps, used to reduce stalling speed, suggest a manual override.
'If you want the flaps down, there has to be someone there
putting the flaps down,' he said.
'If the flaps were down, there is a liquid fuel, then
someone is moving a lever and it's someone who knows what they are doing. It
all points to the same scenario.'
The flight took off from Kuala Lumpur at 12.41am local time
on March 8, 2014, and was scheduled to travel for roughly five hours and 34
minutes before arriving in Beijing at around 6.30am local time.
The crew last communicated with air traffic control just 38
minutes after takeoff, around halfway between Malaysia's Malay Peninsula and Cà
Mau Cape, the southern-most point of Vietnam.
Co-pilot Fariq Hamid, 27, was understood to be flying the
plane. It was to be his last training flight before he was set to be examined
to become a fully-certified pilot.
Hamid was being trained by the pilot in command -
53-year-old Zaharie Ahmad Shah.
With 18,365 flying hours, he was one of the most senior
captains at Malaysia Airlines, having joined the company in 1983.
On board were 10 crew and 227 registered passengers-
totalling 239 on board, including the pilots.
At 1.01am, Zaharie radioed to say they had reached 35,000
feet and levelled off - a slightly unusual communication, when the norm is to
report leaving an altitude.
Seven minutes later, the flight crossed Malaysia's coastline
and flew out over the South China Sea.
Within 11 minutes it began to approach a way-point - called
IGARI - near the start of Vietnamese air-traffic jurisdiction.
At 1.19am, the controller at Kuala Lumpur Center radioed:
'Malaysian three-seven-zero, contact Ho Chi Minh one-two-zero-decimal-nine.
Good night,'
The controller told the pilots to alert Vietnam of their
approach.
'Good night. Malaysian three-seven-zero,' Zaharie replied.
This was the last communication from MH370. The pilots never
checked in with Ho Chi Minh in Vietnam nor answered any attempts to contact
them again.
Seconds after crossing into Vietnamese airspace, the plane
dropped off the screens of Malaysian air traffic control.
37 seconds later - at 1.21am, 39 minutes after take off -
the entire plane disappeared from secondary radar.
It would later be revealed that the plane's transponder - a
communication system that transmits the plane's location to air traffic control
- had been switched off manually.
This appeared to have been done at a vulnerable moment in
the plane's route: as it passed between the air space of two countries.
Inmarsat satellite data and the military radar later showed
that the plane likely did not suffer some catastrophic event but that it had
instead continued to fly.
MH370 crossed an arc stretching from Central Asia in the
north down towards Antarctica - somewhere - at 8.19am Kuala Lumpur time.
Analysis indicated with near-certainty that the plane
inexplicably turned south, not north, and continued for another six hours after
it vanished from military radar at 2.22am.
It is presumed the flight continued at high-altitude during
those six hours, until making its final signal at around 8.19am on March 8 -
seven hours after final contact was made with pilots over the South China Sea.
Minutes later, experts believe it nose-dived into the ocean.
