Will Missing Malaysia Airlines Plane Ever Be Found? Experts Review Clues | MH370: A Decade On

acoustics to create a digital map of the underwater terrain. Experts then trace those digital maps in Hopes of finding the wreckage of MH370 Over the past 10 years, the technology for mapping the seabed has improved, so if the new search is carried out, it

will

take less time to map sections of the seabed. Uncharted ocean than before with the search for food farming. It took maybe 18 months or you know something about that size, but um Ocean Infinity does it in the same area and more in 3 months, so the next Ocean Infinity

will

probably do it much faster.

This is one of the great mysteries of our time in January 2017. The search was called off. 120,000 square kilometers of the southern Indian Ocean had been searched in the absence of new credible evidence. Australia, China and Malaysia have collectively decided to suspend the search. I think it's going to be very difficult to define what credible evidence would be. because there is a lot of evidence that has come to light over the years and I think the authorities have followed all the evidence that they believe was credible at the time, but still nothing has led to anything and maybe at a certain point people start to feel a bit skeptical about the evidence starting to appear almost 4 years after the disappearance of MH370, the Malaysian government signed a deal with a marine technology company Ocean Infiniti to mount a new search unlike the tethered drone used before Ocean Infiniti deployed a fleet of eight autonomous submarines.

Vehicles, the government agreed to pay Ocean Infinity 70 million US dollars, but if and only if the

missing

plane

is

found

despite all the effort, Ocean Infinity's search also came up empty. I think the fact that this current search turned up nothing has only increased. more questions than answers. I think this means there is more reason to re-investigate, re-evaluate and restart if necessary, so we have to get to a stage where we can't keep looking for something we can't really find if anyone has any information. We will consider resuming the search, but at this time we have to stop the search.

This was the last time a search was conducted for the families of the

missing

passengers. There would be no closure. The disappearance of MH370. It left a void in people's lives and in that void many began to search for meaning. Numerous articles, newspapers, books and documentaries have since told the mystery of the missing

plane

, some are based on facts, others are not, yes, and suddenly This arises, many conspiracy theories began. going well, conspiracy theories that were very political in nature, talking about the relationship between the US government and the Chinese government. I feel like the Malaysian government is hiding something from us.

The emotions of family members are on a roller coaster. Now we go up and down. We don't know who we can trust and what we should do, we feel very helpless and frustrated. Wreck hunters around the world speculated that the plane was somewhere else, from satellite image sightings of the plane in the jungles of Cambodia to fishermen and men who claim to have seen a plane in Malaysian

airlines

livery flying through the archipelago. One of the first theories about the missing plane was that it was the work of terrorists. Two Iranian passengers were

found

to be traveling on stolen European passports, while this theory was debunked.

More conspiracies emerged, it's going to fall, it's going to fall, to be honest I don't think that's the right place, there are many other theories that say maybe it's in Diego Garcia or maybe in another area, so why do we continue? Looking at that area, that's my question, one of those conspiracies suggested that the plane flew into a restricted US military base at Diego Garcia and was subsequently shot down. Others believed that the plane was attacked by hostile parties with the intention of preventing a cargo of sensitive electronic equipment. Since it reached its final destination, Malaysian authorities have struggled to contain these conspiracy theories.

The beginning was the transcription of the conversation and then you have the freight manifest, so I'm trying to make an argument that if you do it, if you do it. I want information, let it go through this panel of

experts

that we have established and if it doesn't affect their investigations by all means we can publish it, but the point is this, any information we publish will not stop the speculation. The theory that we are hiding the plane that we are hiding is nothing to hide, it is where to hide because we have nothing to tell you.

Professor Ulri Eer works in the School of Psychological Sciences at the University of Western Australia and specializes in the impact of misinformation on memory reasoning and behaviour. Conspiracy theories are inherently very interesting because they are designed to be so. They are in some ways irresistibly scandalous. They provide people with a kind of emotional appeal. So if the government, an organization or someone who communicates. about an event cannot give answers, well, people are going to look elsewhere because they want answers, they want to reduce their uncertainty, the Malian government was not able to provide clear and concise information and reasoning about the disappearance and this caused many people want to see meanings and patterns and they may have difficulty accepting that there is a great event that does not also have a great cause, they know that if there is a great event, they are looking for a great cause, uh, and they might have difficulty to accept that maybe it's just an ordinary arbitrary random cause or the cause is even unknown and the final factor, uh, I think it's for people who feel a little bit disenfranchised or maybe socially isolated, bonding with others People who believe in these conspiracies can also give them a sense of community and reduce their feelings of isolation.

Families who lost loved ones have been living with questions that have no answers. Jakita González still feels the traumatic loss of her husband. Patrick Gomez, the many theories just added to the frustration,

ever

yone comes and says, maybe it's this, maybe it's that I said there are many, maybe there, you know, there is no confirmation. Jean Luke MSHA teamed up with former pilot Patrick to try to make sense of The Disappearance from the limited data available, they have combined their technical and operational backgrounds to try to more accurately describe the events that led to The Disappearance of the plane, if The plane would have crashed at approximately, say, 200 knots, it's like hitting concrete.

Thousands, at least hundreds of thousands of pieces of debris would have been created and it was found that they were not and so little debris was recovered that this actually leads to the belief that the plane broke into large pieces and therefore based on To that end, only an abandonment control was carried out. would cause this small amount of debris, the lack of debris led them to believe that the plane fell in a controlled manner and therefore they concluded that a capable pilot was in complete control until the end, considering who could be on board without formal accusation.

We cannot exclude the pilot because he has experience and is a structure. It is something that is very important to keep in mind and say that until we find the wreckage we do not know that they believe that an experienced pilot flew the plane out of Malaysia. radar coverage and along the boundaries of other Conde airspace avoiding detection before being dumped into the Indian Ocean, it is an area where there is no coverage or surveillance, so the aircraft can do what

ever

it wants, the controller does not sees it and because it is in the qual lumur sector, others like the Indonesian Indians or the Thais would see it but wouldn't care because they didn't have control, so at the end of the flight it was known that the correct engines consumed more than the left one, so it stopped naturally due to lack of fuel and then it was time for the pilot to say: I'm not going to let the other engine stop by itself, so I'm going to step forward and stop the engine myself. enough fuel for the glide phase that I want to perform later, based on these assumptions, they believe that the plane could be in a strip of ocean that has not yet been explored, but even with a narrower search area, finding the wreckage a such depths with challenges The underwater terrain may be too difficult trying to locate something 4 and a half kilometers below the ocean surface about 1,000 kilometers from land is a huge task and is likely to continue for a long time almost all the top .

Experts around the world have said it is somewhere in that part of the world, but no one can point to a specific location. Finding the plane will be the most important thing to find closure. You know many of us accept it and then no one will come back. I know, but the important thing is that we want to know what happened. You know what really happened to them. You know, was it due to someone's nefarious activities or was it an accident. You know it's an accident. It's easier to accept if there is a catastrophic failure of the plane.

You can't help it, you know accidents happen but if someone hijacks the plane then it's different, many people including Naen feel that the search must continue and although the Malaysian government has left open the possibility of another search, no efforts have been made since early 2017. If there are credible leads and any specific proposals, especially from Ocean Infinity, we are more than willing to look into it and are prepared to discuss with them the new proposal, of course the approach of using uh no Fe there's no cure. No, if there is no FAL result, then we can prepare to see it during the first search.

Many of you know it was anxiety and hope, when the second quest came along with Ocean Infinity, the same thing happened too, but we were. a little bit, I think we had a little bit more confidence because of what they equipped that they had, it was supposed to be the best of the best and when it turned out to be, you know, we didn't get any of that. and when the search ended it was, you know, I don't want to say we lost hope because we were always praying and saying that, okay, uh, once, twice, three times, so waiting for the next search to come and then you know . maybe there can be some closure for us because to this day it still lingers, it's still up in the air and it's something that it's not, it's still constantly on our minds.

More than $150 million has been spent in the search for MH370 mounting another search. It will cost millions of dollars more, but even with improved technology there are no guarantees, so there will be another attempt to find MH370. Both Malaysia's Transport Ministry and Ocean Infinity declined to be interviewed. The MH370 tragedy revealed failings within the aviation industry regarding passport security. gaps in the plan tracking system, the hope is that improvements will be made and that a disaster like this will never happen again for me, the most important development that occurred after the disappearance of MH370 is the creation of a group to build a system or to establish a system called global aeronautical distress safety system under the supervision of IO, the inter-international civil aviation organization.

The safety system aims to improve flight tracking and automatically detect anything out of the ordinary if something unusual is detected. The autonomous rescue system. will transmit precise location data, these systems will also assist in search and rescue efforts. All large aircraft are mandated to have the system installed by early 2025. Now manufacturers are implementing uh elts, so the trans M emergency locator will detect any abnormal aircraft situations. and would activate a signal if they detect such strange behavior, say the attitude of the plane, this will solve many questions. Malaysia Airlines has made policy changes that prohibit a pilot from being alone in the cockpit.

Changes also had to be made to address the problem. loop Loop is kept in the security of international passports. I think over the years we have seen improvements in terms of digitizing passports, establishing passenger databases, allowing for more effective tracking of people sharing information with their partners. countries that I think have strengthened security controls, at least from the perspective of travelers, their identities and also where they come from, destinations of origin, etc., and I also think that the problem has also strengthened the way it is controlled air traffic. and communications control is coordinated from one jurisdiction to the next.

I think that has happened to ensure that there are fewer gaps. There are no gaps in the middle, but for the families who lost loved ones not much has changed. His pain still persists. Don't know. I don't think any of the family members will forget the first day and the days after, what we did, what we went through and even today it is fresh in our minds. When we hear about MH370, that is, every March 8th is a snooze button for everyone. of us, but now that 10 years have passed,I think we're doing a lot better and we're not expecting them to come back to us, although that would be great, but we still need to know exactly what happened and you know.

What happened in those last hours Jakita clings to her memories, memories of happier times with her husband Patrick Gómez, like um in the 15 days of Chinese New Year, where single women go and throw oranges into the lake or a pond which he always did. A joke said, I didn't have to throw an orange, I threw a watermelon into the pond for your mother to make it bigger. Despite the sadness, there is still hope that one day they will find the plane. I still remember one of the first interviews and they said: do you think that they will find it? and I said yes, they will find it, but then you have to look at the history of the Titanic.

It took them 100 years to find it right and knowing where the Air France went down, they knew the debris. where it was, it still took another two years to find it, it can be found, let's say, in a dedicated search way and it could also just be by accident, a scientific research ship could be going and suddenly find evidence, but yeah. It'll be fine, but you know, and if you're not looking for it, you won't find it even two days ago, on Sunday, a nervous ex uh ex uh government official, a very tall guy stopped me at one of the weddings I went to.

I attended. to tell me, tell me what really happened, tell me where they are. T tansri, I'm sorry, I can't tell you where, if I know I won't be here. Then they said what happened to C. We don't know, I hope so. is still found I hope that as time passes since the disappearance of MH370, many of the passengers' families are increasingly unhappy by the end of 2023, some even filed a lawsuit in China, the courts are still deliberating whether to admit Either way, they believe the search for MH370 should continue for us. I would like to know how our loved ones died if we want to use the word Ty, do you know if they all suffered or if they were all there long before the plane crash, that kind of thing that can only be if the plane is found if the Black Box was found and that would provide some answers, maybe not all the answers, but it would give people maybe enough that they can find closure, that they know enough that they can live with a little bit of uncertainty if they have a reasonable understanding of what what happened, how we're just praying every day that it won't remain a mystery, you know you'll figure it out one day and well, I hope in my lifetime it's true, but if not, hopefully when my kids know they're still there they get answers about what happened to their father and all those people on board because they cannot be considered collateral damage and you know and they cannot be forgotten because they were innocent they came on board he went to work people went on vacation their mothers Dads, you know, brothers and sisters, all on board, we can't just forget about them and not know, we haven't had any closure until today.

I haven't had any monuments to Patrick because I don't know anything. I haven't walked down the church aisle with his because you know how to say that's okay, that's all. I have not done it. I haven't put it anywhere. I don't have a grave to go to. I don't have a niche to go to. go to know all I have are memories We all have our memories of him, so our plan was, you know, after retirement, the children would have finished their studies, you know, they will be alone, so we will be alone, so the plan was When I traveled, my wife was into gardening, so she had all these plants all over the house, you know, by the fountain and things like that, so all these things were there and then after this happened, You know, the house, very empty, is for the families of 227 passengers. and 12 crew members, the pain of loss lingers and closure remains elusive now, 10 years after it took off on its last flight.

The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 remains one of the great unsolved mysteries in modern aviation history. Somewhere lies the remains of this ill-fated plane that is the final resting place of 239 souls waiting to be found and brought home.
