What happened to MH370 Flight? |

At 12:42 in the morning, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 took off
from Kuala Lumpur. This flight was headed to Beijing. There were
227 passengers on this flight, 10 flight attendants , and 2 pilots
flying this plane. Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah reported that the
plane was at 35,000 feet. Everything was running normally. About
11 minutes later, the airplane entered the jurisdiction of the
Vietnamese Air Traffic. The Air Traffic Control in Kuala Lumpur did
n't notice this, and when they do, they think the plane had flown
out of the range of their radar. Vietnamese controllers informed
Kuala Lumpur that MH 370 had disappeared suddenly. A search
operation began in the South China Sea to look for the plane that
morning. But there was no trace of the plane. A new piece of
evidence was discovered from satellite data. It was found that the
plane was trying to automatically communicate with a satellite.
The satellite was simply aware that this plane tried to
communicate but nothing more about where it actually was. The
plane tried to establish communication with the satellite 7 times.
That 's why you can see 7 different circles in white colour. These
are known as Satellite Handshakes. Every circle shows the time
when the plane tries to communicate with satellite. The last circle,
the 7th circle, shows the latest time the plane could have been.
This was the last point it tried to communicate. And it was really
surprising because this circle was huge. It covers a lot of areas
from Kazakhstan to China to Australia.
In 2018, an American company Ocean Infinity signed a new
contract with the Malaysian government. They wanted to conduct
the search operations and if they are n't able to find the plane,
they would n't charge any fees. After these investigations, some
theories came forward about what could have happened to the
plane exactly. The official in charge of this search operation
completely denied this theory. He said that this could n't have
happened because there are many counter-arguments too. The
second theory that is afloat is that there must be some hijackers
on the plane. This theory of terror was rejected because other
than these stolen passports, there was no proof that they were
actually terrorists intending to carry out a terror attack. The third
theory is that the passengers and the crew on MH370 fainted
because of oxygen deficiency. Richard Godfrey, a retired
