Background Info

This is one of them I would guess most everyone knows or remember since it happened not that long ago and was a fairly large news story. The date was March 8, 2014 and along with the 239 passengers and crew on the flight the flight vanished with no distress signals, radar detection, or warning. The flight was going from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it vanished from radar and communications. About 38 minutes after takeoff over the south China sea is when ATC last communicated with the aircraft and after that they lost everything. The weird part is several parts of the aircraft washed up in the Indian ocean in 2016. Obviously people began to search for this, government organizations across a couple countries like Australia and China spent a couple years searching for anything but found nothing.  The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) proposed initially that a  hypoxia event was the most likely cause given the available evidence, but there really isn’t much data to support that. Its widely accepted that it was most likely a hijack of some sort but it is unknown why, how, or who would have done this. Experts say given the data that it was most likely lost in the Indian ocean. Like stated before many countries helped aid the search 34 ships and 28 aircraft from seven different countries helped and found nothing.

My Thoughts

Personally I agree with the hijack theory to an extent. I just don’t understand like many of you I am sure how hardly any parts of the plane were found. Yes they did find some parts of the airplane but hardly any of it or even any curtail parts. It seems highly unlikely that you cat find a massive plane like that after years of searching. I would think most airports would be monitored and we would have known if it landed somewhere so that pushes the question of where else it could go. Some popular theories are things like The Malaysian government knowing what happened but not releasing the info, the plane was landed at a defunct military’s airstrip or makeshift airstrip of some kind for “future use”, and lastly the government did it on purpose for whatever reason. The one I like the most is that they hijacked the flight and landed it at some sort of defunct or abandoned airstrip and hid it. It makes the most sense since no big or major parts have ever been found and there’s probably a lot of places they could have landed it due to old bases from the war or heavy tree cover especially if they (whoever did this) planned this out. The two problems with this way or theory is 1, what are they using the plane for, and two nobody even 100% knows it was a hijacking for sure, its just the one that makes the most sense given they never found the bodies, people or aircraft. Id love to know what you guys think in the comments!
