The latest MH370 news posted by Express.co.uk on November 1, 2024 shows that new documents about MH370 have revealed details before the plane took off, adding to the mystery 10 years after the plane went missing.
Ten years ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 mysteriously disappeared from radar screens. To this day, what happened to the passenger plane remains the greatest mystery in the history of world aviation, haunting the relatives of the 239 people on board and attracting global attention.
However, in a surprising development, recently released documents about flight MH370 reveal many details about what happened before the plane disappeared.
Accordingly, the systems of this Boeing 777 aircraft were supplemented with fuel and oxygen just before departing from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
New details about MH370 raise more questions about the incident. The new details also seem to support the theory that MH370's disappearance was a deliberate act.
Documents dated March 2014 reveal that the supplemental oxygen given to flight MH370 before takeoff was reserved for the cockpit, not the crew or passengers.
MH370 pilot and analyst Simon Hardy has pointed out the strangeness of the last-minute fuel and oxygen replenishment.
“It was a strange coincidence just before the plane disappeared forever. The last technical task carried out before the plane plunged into oblivion was to refill the crew's oxygen, just for the cockpit," he told The Sun.
MH370's extra fuel, along with extra oxygen, could have given the plane a longer range, 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 in a suicide attempt.
Flight MH370 departed Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board. The flight operated normally for the first 40 minutes before suddenly losing contact and disappearing from radar.
After years of intensive searching for MH370 across the Indian Ocean and other areas, searchers have yet to find any significant trace of the plane, except for debris found along the coast of Africa and the western Indian Ocean.
