a Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur bound for Beijing. He carried 239 passengers and crew on board. But an hour after takeoff the Boeing 777-200R disappeared.
The event caused the largest search operation by air, sea and land history. However, the results have not been desired and today many continue to wonder, how could a plane 63 meters long and 60 meters wide just disappear without a trace in a world in which technology improves each instant?
Since her disappearance, the search for the aircraft has changed several times in dimension. Initially the focus was on the South China Sea. Then, with the help of the British company satellite communications Inmarsat, it was possible to deduce that the last position of the aircraft was the South Indian Ocean west of Australia and two "runners" search north settled and south of that point .
After receiving several clues that proved false, the search operation that at one point reached ?? to cover 7.68 million square kilometers-the equivalent of 11% of the Indian Ocean and 1.5% of the surface of the Earth and involving 26 countries, was suspended in late May and researchers returned to their tables work to reassess the exploration area.
Reportedly, this month the search will restart and enter into a new phase that will cover about 60 square miles of seabed in the southern Indian Ocean, west of Australia.
The operation will be led by the Malaysian authorities, working with the FBI, Interpol and other international law enforcement agencies. Participants also Australia, China, Japan, New Zealand, South Korea, United Kingdom and United States.
This new phase of the operation, for which they were hired boats equipped with towing systems for specialized underground drilling to explore for marine deep underground, will start later this month and believes it could take up to 12 months.
Regarding theories, common aviation accidents are weather factors, human error and navigability problems. But in this case the atmospheric conditions were good. The pilot, 53, had more than 18,000 hours of flying experience and worked for the airline since 1981.
According to a report released in June by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, the most likely scenario would be that the aircraft disaster in automatic mode sailed into the ocean, because the pilots suffered hypoxia (lack of oxygen) caused by depressurization cab. But this conclusion can not be verified, even if correct, does not explain why the aircraft deviated from its original path.
