The latest MH370 news posted by Express.co.uk on November 1, 2024 shows that new documents on MH370 had revealed details before the plane took off, adding to the mystery 10 years after the plane went missing.
10 years ago, Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 mysteriously disappeared from radar screens. To date, what happened to this passenger plane remains the biggest mystery in the history of world aviation, haunting the relatives of 239 people on the plane and attracting global attention.
However, in the surprising developments, recently released documents about flight MH370 show many details about what happened before the plane disappeared.
Accordingly, the systems of this Boeing 777 aircraft were supplemented with fuel and oxygen right before departing from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
New details about MH370 have raised more questions about the incident. The new details also seem to support the theory that MH370's disappearance was intentional.
Documents dated March 2014 revealed that the additional oxygen for Flight MH370 before takeoff was reserved for the cockpit, not the crew or passengers.
The pilot and analyst of MH370, Simon Hardy, pointed out the strangeness of the last-minute fuel and oxygen supplement.
It was a strange coincidence before this plane disappeared forever. The final technical task before the plane crashed was to replenish the crew with oxygen, just for the cockpit," he told The Sun.
MH370's more fuel than usual, along with additional oxygen, could help the plane's range extend, although the purpose of the move remains unclear.
MH370 search expert Hardy speculates that the addition was intentional, potentially supporting one of the most popular theories that MH370's pilot - captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah - may have deliberately crashed the plane to commit suicide.
Flight MH370 departed Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members. The flight operated normally for the first 40 minutes before being suddenly cut off and disappearing from radar.
After years of actively searching for MH370 across the Indian Ocean and other areas, searchers have yet to find any significant traces of the plane, except for MH370 debris found along the coast of Africa and the western Indian Ocean.
