Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Mystery: CONSPIRACY THEORIES

March 16 2014

Flight MH370 has everyone guessing what really happened. What is it terrorism, a hijacking, or did Malaysia Flight 370 simply crash in an unexpected location?

Also, Flight MH370 is not the first plane to disappear without a trace. Some conspiracy theories have been floated, including one idea that states the plane landed at a secret Vietnam airport that has been abandoned for years. The idea is that the hijackers are now prepping the plane to be used in a terrorist attack similar to the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. But the craziest conspiracy theories involve the Bermuda Triangle somehow sucking Flight MH370 into its void from across the planet. But this idea is said to be the result of scammers.

Also, more as a BTW, a 5.5 magnitude earthquake struck in the sea off India’s Andaman and Nicobar Islands on Friday evening, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries, and no tsunami warning was immediately issued.

The quake happened in the south Andaman Sea about 110 kilometers southeast of Mohean on Katchal Island, one of the Nicobar Islands, the USGS said.

Though the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are Indian territory, they are on the eastern edge of the Bay of Bengal and are closer to other nations, including Indonesia and Myanmar.

The Andaman Islands are at the center of one of the newest theories in the increasingly tangled search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

Analysis of radar data revealed Friday by Reuters suggests the plane was flying toward the Indian Ocean archipelago. Reuters cited unidentified sources familiar with the investigation.

Flight 370 Mystery: Earthquake Hits in Same Area!

First off, we’ll discuss what we do know for certain about Flight MH370. The theory that the plane suffered a catastrophic explosion mid-flight has known to be false since searches of locations where satellite images showed possible wreckage came up dry. Also, the two communication systems continued to send data. Since the aircraft’s data reporting system and transponder shut down 20 minutes apart it’s believed the communications systems were shut down manually by someone inside the airplane. The transponder also happens to be located between the pilot and co-pilot, although some believe it’s possible a developing power failure killed the two devices off one at a time.

This leads to the idea that the disappearance of Flight MH370 was purposeful. One US official claimed the Malaysia Flight 370 was an act of piracy. The pilots last words were, “All right, good night,” and as such pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah is being investigated as a possible suspect. One of the passengers was also a Chinese Muslim who allegedly completed flight training in 2006. He was is part of the Uighur group, which has been accused of waging jihad bomb attacks at railway stations in China, Indonesia, Thailand, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Regardless of why Flight MH370 disappeared, the military apparently tracked the plane via radar for a time before it disappeared. It’s believed the plane flew westward toward Malaysia before turning northwest. Based upon fuel records it’s believed the plane could have crossed the Indian Ocean, crashed west of Malaysia, or disappeared somewhere into Asia. If, as some officials claim, Malaysia Flight 370 did land in Central Asia near the Chinese border it’s believed this would lend support to the theory that a member of the Uighur group was a hijacker.

Still, Flight MH370 is not the first plane to disappear without a trace. Some conspiracy theories have been floated, including one idea that states the plane landed at a secret Vietnam airport that has been abandoned for years. The idea is that the hijackers are now prepping the plane to be used in a terrorist attack similar to the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. But the craziest conspiracy theories involve the Bermuda Triangle somehow sucking Flight MH370 into its void from across the planet. But this idea is said to be the result of scammers.
