What Netflix's Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Documentary Gets ... (Den of Geek)

We will likely never know what really happened to Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. The Boeing 777 plane that captivated the world by disappearing first took ...

MH370: The Plane That Disappeared has the most likely explanation for what happened to Malaysian Airlines Flight 370. The episode allows de Changy the opportunity to talk about the genesis of this theory from its initial conception all the way through to its final narrative. Meanwhile, in episode 3 “The Intercept,” French journalist Florence de Changy asserts that an “ID plate” is missing from the first piece of MH370 debris recovered – the flaperon. What that question ignores, however, is that Gibson was not responsible for finding the first bit of wreckage, or even the majority of the wreckage. As MH370: The Plane That Disappeared recounts, eccentric American and so-described “wreck-hunter” Blaine Gibson is the man who discovered a significant amount of flight 370 wreckage. Wise theorizes that agents of the Russian state hijacked the plane to distract the Western world from its invasion of the Crimean Peninsula. To be fair to Wise, he is careful in asserting that it is only a theory and he cannot be certain of its veracity unless more information comes out. While it’s hard to say that MH370: The Plane That Disappeared is acting in bad faith (its first episode is quite good and its second episode at least makes an attempt to support the implausible with evidence), it does allow its subjects to omit and misrepresent a lot of the MH370 story. But in the simple search for answers, the theory that he deliberately crashed the plane is by far the most plausible and evidence-supported option we have. In the past he slept with some of the flight attendants. Several interviewees throughout MH370: The Plane That Disappeared note that it’s not fair to blame Zaharie Ahmad Shah for the plane’s disappearance since we don’t know, and likely will never know, the full circumstances of what happened for sure. By episode three, “The Intercept,” it is in full on Ancient Aliens territory by presenting a conspiracy that the American government destroyed the flight so that the Chinese couldn’t have some toys.

Several news reports claimed at the time that it could have been a hijacking or a terrorist attack, including, strangely, Rupert Murdoch, who tweeted about it. Shah's family have always vehemently denied the possibility of pilot suicide. However, as the main bulk of the plane has never been found, it has led some experts, such as Goong Chen, a mathematician from Texas A&M University, to hypothesise that the plane plunged vertically into the sea, as Various parts of the plane have since been recovered, such as a flaperon found in July 2015 on a beach in Reunion, an island in the Western Indian Ocean, or the right stabiliser found on a beach in southern Mozambique in February 2016. None of the passengers, alive or dead, were ever found, neither was the plane – despite extensive searches – or black box recorder ever uncovered. After taking off from Kuala Lumpur, the plane stayed on course until just under an hour later.

Netflix Docuseries Charts 3 Dubious Paths to MH370's Disappearance (Daily Beast)

In a new three-part docuseries for Netflix, filmmaker Louise Malkinson offers up increasingly conspiratorial theories about what really happened to ...

MH370: The Plane that Disappeared is therefore as much about how we process loss, and mysteries, as it is about reasonable suppositions. In the absence of conclusive truth, that vacuum is filled by all manner of make-believe designed to give comforting answers to outstanding questions. In the first, the finger is pointed at Captain Shah, the most obvious suspect since he had control of the plane and, as investigators eventually learned, had charted a course on his home flight-training simulator that was eerily similar to the southward trajectory presented by Inmarsat. Wise’s reputation took a hit in the press for this, as does his credibility here. No one could detect its final course, determine a nearby airport where it might have landed, or locate debris in the South China Sea that would indicate a fatal crash. The possible explanations it dispenses, however, don’t seem likely to bring this case to a close—and, in some instances, reveal the dangerous and depressing conspiratorial thinking that arises when concrete facts are in short supply.

Of the 49 people on board, just 39 were returned two months later. The most expensive search in the history of aviation was launched. Shah pressed a button above his head to turn off the cabin's pressurisation system forcing it into a rapid decompression. Investigating the cargo, de Changy writes that it had not undergone the proper security screening. She says on the Being-777's cargo was 2.5 tonnes of 'poorly documented Motorola electronics equipment,' she says.

As was explored in the documentary, debris appearing to be from a commercial airliner were found washed up along the coast of Africa and islands along the Indian Ocean. Inmarsat satellite communication data is said to have placed the plane somewhere over the southern Indian Ocean, although a precise location could never be calculated. It was said that the pieces were "almost certainly" from the missing plane (via [BBC News](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-26716572), the airline communicated to the families of the 239 people on board that it was assumed "beyond reasonable doubt" that there were no survivors.

Netflix's Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 doc: Theories, a timeline of ... (USA TODAY)

How does a plane vanish? Netflix's new doc, "MH370: The Plane that Disappeared,” investigates the aviation mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

“After six hours of flight, the engines stop running, he pushes the nose down, and he starts to slide into a dive.” He suggests that after ending contact with air traffic controllers in Kuala Lumpur, but before establishing contact with Vietnam, Shah thinks of a reason to get his co-pilot out of the cockpit and then locks the door. Shah then disables the electronics that make the plane visible on radar. Wise presents a timeline of supposed events in “MH370” that even he doubts. investigators can't determine if a human shut down the transmissions or if it was an "act of piracy," meaning a takeover. Both acknowledge these are far-fetched, and the theories are written off by aviation expert Mike Exner. The last signal on radar from the plane was received as it transferred into Vietnamese airspace above Cau Mau province. The plane remains on course. It was set to arrive in Beijing on the morning of March 8, 2014, after departing from Kuala Lumpur. The plane carried 239 passengers and crew members. – The transponder that transmits location and altitude shuts down. – The plane's data reporting system shuts down.

However, Voice370, a group representing the families of those onboard, has reported that Ocean Infinity plans to launch a new search as early as this summer. As per a report on IANS, they have demanded action from the authorities in Kuala Lumpur to launch a new search for the missing aircraft. After years of searching, debris was found, confirmed or believed to be from the MH370 aircraft washed up along the African coast and on islands in the Indian Ocean. It remains the deadliest and most enigmatic incident in the history of aviation involving a Boeing 777. Despite extensive search operations and tireless efforts by countless individuals, the plane has never been found. Although debris was discovered several years later, it has failed to provide any conclusive evidence about the fate of the aircraft or the passengers on board.

Netflix's MH370 Documentary Is Stunningly Irresponsible (PRIMETIMER)

MH370: The Plane That Disappeared offers three hours of conspiracy theories, and little else.

De Changy posits that the AWACS ordered Shah to land the plane, and when he refused to alter his route, the United States took drastic measures “to stop the plane and its precious cargo from arriving in Beijing,” either through a “missile strike, or a midair collision.” Blaine Gibson, who has found various plane parts confirmed to have come from MH370, insists de Changy’s claim “denies all the evidence that there is,” like the Inmarsat data and the U-turn discovered by the Malaysian military, and would require a half-dozen countries to collaborate on a massive conspiracy. But by far the most outlandish, far-reaching conspiracy theory comes in Episode 3, “The Intercept,” in which French journalist (again, be wary of that term) Florence de Changy details a global cover-up orchestrated by the U.S. Episode 2, “The Hijack,” calls into question Inmarsat satellite data — the only data set to offer a somewhat-clear picture of the plane’s trajectory after its communications went down — that found MH370 headed south into the Indian Ocean after turning back over the Malay Peninsula. Furthermore, says Sharuji, “It is impossible to fly the aircraft from the avionics compartment,” a statement that invalidates Wise’s entire theory. Hendry claims to have found satellite images of debris in the South China Sea, but when she compares them to photos of the plane, the images are far too blurry to show anything conclusive. Between his Inmarsat doubts and the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was shot down by Russian forces on July 17, 2014, Wise came to conclude that the Russians were involved in MH370’s disappearance, as well. Wise claims “the overwhelming body of evidence pointed strongly to [this] theory,” but offers no actual data beyond a claim that the pilot’s decades of experience meant he “would know all the angles” and therefore “be able to conceive of something as complicated as this.” In perhaps its lone moment of thoughtfulness, The Plane That Disappeared ultimately backs away from this theory and exonerates Shah. Even more irresponsibly, the docuseries offers a lengthy reenactment of this theory, which Wise describes as “a final, decisive picture of what happened that night.” A dramatization shows Shah locking his co-pilot out of the cockpit, cutting the plane’s communication systems, and depressurizing the cabin, killing the 227 passengers and 11 other crew members on board. Six hours later, when the plane runs out of fuel, Wise posits, “He pushes the nose down, and he starts to slide into a dive.” It’s unlikely that we’ll ever know exactly what happened aboard MH370, but without any evidence, this scenario is pure fantasy. [“just asking questions”](https://minnesotareformer.com/2020/12/17/no-youre-not-just-asking-questions-youre-spreading-disinformation/) pervades Netflix’s MH370: The Plane That Disappeared, a three-part documentary series about Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370.

Sally Leivesley, a former scientific advisor to the British government, suggested that the plane may have been downed by a cyberattack. A rumour on social media suggested that the plane had been hijacked and flown to North Korea, as had happened to Korean Airlines YS-11 in 1969. Others say that the plane was deliberately brought down as it was feared it was going to be used as a weapon in a 9/11-style attack on the Diego Garcia military base. Russian media, meanwhile, floated the idea that terrorists had flown the plane to Afghanistan and were holding its passengers and crew hostage. When parts of Flight MH370 began washing up a year after the plane vanished, the idea that it had been hijacked and flown to an unknown location became highly unlikely. Hijacking was suggested as a possible cause almost immediately after the plane disappeared.

She assumed that when the US found out about the cargo MH370 was carrying, two of the US ASWACS planes tried to interrupt the flight. It was only the flaperon that was confirmed to be part of MH370. He takes control of the direction of the plane and heads it over to the left. The Malaysian government soon confirmed that the part of the wing that was found, in fact, belonged to MH370. She then collaborated with Cyndi of the Tomnod group, who had stated at the very beginning of the case that she had noticed debris in the South China Sea via the satellite images that were uploaded on the platform. The Malaysian government admitted that the debris found by Gibson was, in all likelihood, part of MH370. He further learned that the device that was turned on was not accessible to the pilot since it was present in the main equipment center. Gibson followed the instructions of the oceanographers he contacted and headed to Mozambique in the hopes of finding more debris. He then heads back to the Malaysian peninsula, and while doing so, he realizes that he needs to be in complete control of the plane, so he depressurizes the cabin. The information was passed to the Malaysian government, and they focused on searching the southern Indian Ocean for the debris of MH370. The moment the flight left Malaysian airspace and was about to be transferred to the Vietnamese air traffic controllers, something went terribly wrong. MH370, the Malaysia Airlines flight that mysteriously disappeared from the face of the earth, has caught the attention of the entire world and has evidently become the subject of multiple discussions and theories.

MH370 Is a Cold Case. But It Can Still Be Solved. (New York Magazine)

unsolved mysteries 2:25 P.M.. MH370 Is a Cold Case. But It Can Still Be Solved. By Jeff Wise.

All the same, though, the range of possibilities is not infinite. Second, we can pressure the Malaysian government to finally release all the evidence in its possession, including the full set of military radar returns showing the plane’s last known track. [eight years ago](https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2015/02/jeff-wise-mh370-theory.html), if hijackers tampered with the SDU to create a false electronic trail for investigators, then the implication would be that the plane didn’t go south after all, but rather north to Kazakhstan. A distinctive aspect of the flight is that it got progressively weirder as it went along. To many people, the failure of the search seemed unsurprising. Yet this inexplicable eventuality gave rise to the signals that the whole seabed search rested on. To me, the great underappreciated red flag of the case is the fact that the satcom was turned back on. Yet after spending years searching the area, and far beyond, they found no trace of the fuselage on the seabed, a turn of events they labeled in their final report as “almost inconceivable.” I dove deep into the evidence for a [2019 book](https://www.amazon.com/Taking-MH370-Jeff-Wise/dp/1798750910/ref=sr_1_1), and then spent several years working with the producers of a three-part [Netflix documentary series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TDg0m2Q3H8c), which debuts this week. The implication was that the plane’s captain, Zaharie Ahmen Shah, must have taken the aircraft. The urgency of solving the mystery remains, though. But significant aspects of the case remained unexplained, including the plane’s ultimate resting place, and search officials have long since given up trying to determine what happened.

MH370 theories revealed in Netflix documentary about missing ... (New Zealand Herald)

Just before 12.45am on March 8, 2014, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 took flight, with pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah at the helm.

“But it is impossible to fly the aircraft from the avionics compartment.” This meant they could have created a distraction and then accessed below deck to control the plane. Inmarsat data could confirm the plane was in the air but not the exact location. “I don’t think taking the simulator data by itself proves a whole lot. It could, however, report the distance from the satellite. These pings continued for up to six hours after last contact,” Inmarsat representative Mark Dickinson said in one of the episodes. This has been supported by data found on a flight simulator at Shah’s home, which had been used to fly a similar diverted course just one month prior. Nobody was listening to me,” she said. A new Netflix docuseries, MH370: The Plane That Disappeared, looks to examine these explanations and separate fact from fiction. The Boeing 777 was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, China but, as we know, it never reached its destination. This has not stopped dozens of experts and pundits from proposing theories. And then finally, there’s something white,” she said.

“He turns the plane to the south and he flies straight into the darkness, waiting for his fuel to run out,” says Wise. Shah was then ordered to land the plane but ignored the instructions. He then gets his co-pilot to leave the cockpit on some pretext, locks the door and disables electronics to make the plane disappear on the radar. “This could be at the heart of what happened to MH370.” Now a Netflix documentary tries to explore what might have happened to the plane and all the theories about the mysterious disappearance of MH370. This theory suggests that the Americans intercepted MH370 as it was carrying a huge amount of electronics. “But it is impossible to fly the aircraft from the avionics compartment.” “It’s public knowledge that China was very eager to acquire highly sensitive US technology in the field of surveillance, stealth, drone technology,” she said. She says that she saw what supposedly was the MH370 debris in the South China Sea, miles from the search area. What happened to the plane? A military radar still tracked it and according to data, it took a sudden diversion from the route and leaving its northeastern course, it started heading to the west towards the Malay peninsula. The Netflix documentary, MH370: The Plane That Disappeared, looks at theories and discoveries that were reportedly brushed aside.

A handful of personal belongings have since been found, washed up on beaches in places like Madagascar. ...
