KOMPAS. com – Alleged debris from an airliner Malaysia Airlines MH370 dropped on March 8, 2014 and declared missing was found in Madagascar.
The inventors were British engineer Richard Godfrey and MH370 junk hunter Blaine Gibson who recovered the remains of the Boeing 777-200 from a fisherman in Madagascar.
Reported by kompas.comthe fishermen they met had been storing debris from MH370 since 2017, when they first found it on the beach.
The fishermen used the debris from MH370 as a wash house and this finding further strengthens the indication that the pilot deliberately shot down this wide-body aircraft.
The following is a flashback to the MH370 crash on the Kuala Lumpur-Beijing route piloted by Zaharie Ahmad Shah until it was reported missing eight years ago.
It should have landed in Beijing
Quoted from kompas.comMH370 was declared missing after departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport on 9 March 2014 at 00.41 local time.
According to MH370’s last manifest before takeoff, this aircraft was carrying 12 crew and 239 passengers.
Most of the passengers on MH370 were 153 Chinese and 38 Malaysian nationals. Meanwhile, there were 7 Indonesians on board this plane.
MH370 was due to arrive in Beijing, China at 06:30 local time, but reportedly lost contact with the control tower at 02:40 local time.
According to the latest coordinates, MH370 has been detected in the South China Sea, to be precise at the southern tip of Vietnam and on the east coast of the Malay peninsula.
26 countries help search MH370
After MH370 was reported missing, 26 countries took part in the process of finding this Malaysia Airlines aircraft.
reported kompas.com In 2014, the search for MH370 was extended to the Andaman Sea and Indian Ocean, after initially focusing on Peninsular Malaysia, the Strait of Malacca and the South China Sea.

Experts thought MH370 was drifting west, but radars and satellites belonging to Pakistan, India and China have detected no trace of this aircraft.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said the MH370’s weak signal was detected about 7.5 hours after it flew from Kazakhstan territory in Central Asia to the Indian Ocean.
However, the Indian Ocean is one of the deepest water areas in the world and radar tracking is very limited due to its remote location.
All crew and passengers are not safe
Malaysian authorities suspected MH370 had been hijacked after the pilot’s last communication with the control tower was on March 8, 2014 at 01:19 local time.
reported kompas.com Earlier, the suspicion of piracy was strengthened as the airline found stolen passports used by two passengers on MH370.

He also announced that the entire crew and passengers of MH370 were unharmed.
