It is still unknown what happened to the Malaysia Airlines MH370, which disappeared without a trace in 2014, just 40 minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur in Beijing.
Many have tried to find the answer about what happened to the Boeing plane and the 239 people on board.
The disappearance triggered the largest search operation in aviation history across an area of 120,000 square kilometers in the Indian Ocean. Australia led the operation which was suspended in January 2017, while the second and final underwater search was completed in spring 2018.
The plane crash is and remains a mystery.
– Clear intention
However, a new discovery made by a Malagasy fisherman 25 days ago could provide new answers.
The discovery of what is likely the door belonging to the plane’s landing gear is the first physical evidence to suggest that one of the pilots crashed the plane on purpose, he writes. Times.
Pilots are trained to perform emergency water landings, but these are normally performed with the landing gear retracted for a controlled landing. However, the finding suggests that the landing gear was not retracted by the pilot before the plane crashed.
– The combination of the high-speed crash that destroys the plane and the landing gear that, when extended, will sink the plane as quickly as possible shows a clear intention to hide evidence of the crash, says a recent report by Richard Godfrey, a British engineer, e Blaine Gibsonan American detective.

Only a few pieces of wreckage have been found on Reunion and other islands along the east coast of Africa which are definitely from the aircraft. The new discovery has led to calls for a new investigation into the disappearance, according to The Times.
Also decisive for the conclusion of the report are four almost parallel severe damages to the tailgate, which are believed to have been caused by one of the aircraft’s two engines disintegrating in the crash.
“Regardless of the cause of the damage, the fact that the damage was from the inside to the outside of the door means that the landing gear was probably extended near the crash, which again confirms the conclusion that there was an active pilot.” until the end of the flight,” he said. the report.
New theory: the pilot made false tracks
Captain designated
For years, there has been speculation as to why the course was changed and the plane disappeared from radar on March 8, 2014. What happened on board the plane is also a mystery.
In a report released in 2018 it is said that the route was changed manually by someone on board, but it was not possible to conclude further. Examining the backgrounds of all crew and passengers also yielded no clear answers.

The Malaysian police previously designated the capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah (53) as the prime suspect. He is said to have stood out in that he had hardly made a single deal or committed to anything in the time after the flight.
At the same time, investigators are said to have discovered that Shah had made long simulated flights over the southern Indian Ocean during the advanced flight simulator which was found at the captain’s house. An attempt had been made to cancel them, but they were reinstated after Malaysian authorities requested at the outset of the investigation FBI for help recovering deleted data the simulator. One of the simulated trips must be terminated with a landing on a short runway on an island.
