Search operations to find the missing March 8, 2014 The Malaysian Boeing 777-200 seemed to be drawing to a close. However, reliable evidence that the plane crashed into the ocean, still no.
March 24, 2014 at a meeting with relatives of the missing passengers Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak said that the plane can be considered crashed. According to him, the liner fell in South Indian Ocean. Supposedly none of passengers and crew did not survive.
However, the conclusion about the death of passengers was made on the basis of analysis satellite imagery, while the debris in place of the alleged no crash was found. Relatives of the Boeing 777’s passengers riots at the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing that day and accused the country’s authorities of hiding information about the fate of the aircraft.
Known data
Malaysian airliner located over the South China Sea MAS Airlines disappeared from the radar screens an hour after departure, in 02:40 on March 8 local time, not giving any signals dispatchers. Boeing 777-200 made a joint flight MH370 with Chinese company China Southern Airlines from the capital of Malaysia Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and was supposed to land at the destination at 6:30 in the morning of that day.
On board were 12 crew members and 227 passengers. Among the missing people on the list are two citizens of Ukraine – 45-year-old Oleg Chustrak and Sergey Deineka, one Russian citizen – Irkutsk businessman Nikolai Brodsky, and 11 American military personnel.
The crew was controlled by experienced pilots – captain, 53-year-old Zachary Ahmad Shah, who worked at MAS since 1981, and second pilot, 27-year-old Farik Ab Namid. Plane 10 days before The tragedy passed a complete technical check and was serviceable.
The signals of the “black boxes” of the airliner are not registered. It was originally reported that the plane crashed in the territorial waters of Vietnam are 250 km from the island of Tho Chu, however searches for no results.
The conclusion about the crash was made by the Malaysian authorities on the basis of scientific speculation. UK satellite company employees Inmarsat calculated two possible routes for the missing liner, compared satellite data of past flights of the Boeing 777 with flight of flight MH370 and came to the conclusion that the missing airliner flew South. The calculations were based on the Doppler effect – the physical a phenomenon that involves changing the frequency and wavelength, recorded by the receiver caused by the movement of their source and (or) the movement of the receiver. However, the plane was still not found.
Attack or conspiracy?
The main version was originally the assumption of a terrorist attack. By unconfirmed reports, Beijing intelligence agencies previously received information from an anonymous source about the impending terrorist attack. Besides Moreover, it turned out that two unknowns got on board on strangers documents of citizens of Italy and Austria.
Those on the list of missing were in good health at home in their homeland and reported that some time ago their passports were stolen in thailand. However, after establishing their identities and verification, the investigation concluded that both passengers, rather just tried to immigrate to Europe.

A little later it became known that shortly before the plane took off the pilot spoke on the phone with a man who has a telephone like it turned out, was acquired by false documents. Moreover, in Malaysian police admitted that photos of passengers, flying a Boeing 777 with previously lost passports were intentionally changed.
US involvement in plane disappearance is not the last option under discussion, especially since the investigation of the circumstances the case was officially taken by the FBI.
Theft or damage?
No less believable is the version of theft. Before the disappearance of the radar recorded a change in the direction of the board in the opposite side, this data was automatically transferred from engine systems the plane. In the case of a change in flight direction, we can assume that hijackers forced the pilots to do this, but the fact is strange that the crew did not send any signals for help.
A less likely version of a technical malfunction of the aircraft and the possibility that pilots had to land the airliner in the water. AND again the same question: why was the signal not given?
People or UFOs?
Given that no signal for help was sent, abandon the assumption of frivolity of pilots. Recently in the press there were photos of one of the pilots with the girls in his cockpit shortly before the ill-fated flight. It is believed that in the alleged the accident could be a human factor of a different kind: “Perhaps someone on board bought a huge amount of insurance so that it got his family, or someone owed someone so much money “, – quotes RIA Novosti the head of the Malaysian police Khalid Abu Bakara. Do not deny the option that the pilot decided to end his life suicide and at the same time take away hundreds of lives.
Of course, with so many unknowns, alternative versions of what happened. Some say that next to by plane they saw an unidentified flying object, others insist that the airliner sucked into a black hole over the South China Sea.
One incredible thing: relatives called on mobile phones missing, and in response there were long beeps. And this is mysterious at the moment, experts do not comment taken.
