For anyone not aware of mh370. It was bound from Malaysia to Beijing 5 years ago , but less than an hour into its course it diverted heavily towards the indian ocean, completely taking almost a 180 basically, and took itself off radar and was never heard of again an hour into the flight.
shyt freaks me out reading this article. Here are 4 other stories of other planes just either crashing with no explanation, seemingly vanishing off radar... and from the skies.
1. Flying Tiger Line Flight 739
On March 16, 1962, a Lockheed L1049 Super Constellation operated by Flying Tiger Line disappeared in clear weather, killing all 107 people on board. The aircraft was transporting 93 American soldiers and 3 South Vietnamese soldiers from Travis Air Force Base in California to Saigon, Vietnam. After refuelling in Guam, it was en route to Clark Air Base in the Philippines when it disappeared. The incident led to one of the largest air and sea searches of the Pacific Ocean in history, covering more than 200,000 square miles (520,000 square kilometres) over eight days. Witnesses on a civilian tanker reported seeing an explosion, but no remains were found.
2. Egypt air flight 990
Mystery still surrounds the crash on October 31, 1999, of EgyptAir Flight 990. Bound from Los Angeles to Cairo, the Boeing 767 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, killing all 217 passengers and crew on board. Egyptian investigators insisted mechanical failure caused the crash, but the US National Transportation Safety Board found that co-pilot Gameel Al-Batouti deliberately downed the plane, repeating “Tawkalt ala Allah” – I put my trust in God – while it was going down. In 2016, an al-Qaeda propaganda magazine claimed the Islamist terror group’s leader, Osama bin Laden, was inspired to plot the 9/11 attacks using hijacked airliners after learning of the conclusion that the EgyptAir flight was deliberately brought down by its co-pilot.
This guy downed the plane killing himself and everyone on board and to this day there is no explanation why
3. Pan Am Flight 7
On November 8, 1957, a luxury aircraft en route from California to Hawaii – the first leg of a round-the-world flight – disappeared. After five days, search-and-rescue teams found the wreckage of the Boeing Stratocruiser. The bodies of some passengers and parts of the airliner wreckage were recovered floating 100 miles (160 kilometres) north of the flight path. Nobody ever figured out why the plane crashed or where exactly it came down. Autopsies suggested all 44 passengers died of carbon monoxide poisoning.
The plane was found but no one can figure out why it crashed
And arguably the most talked about story in aviation history...
4. Amelia Earhart’s Lockheed Electra
In 1937, a Lockheed Electra plane piloted by US aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart, the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean, vanished near Howland Island in the Pacific Ocean during an attempt to fly around the world, sparking a massive search and numerous conspiracy theories – that she was shot down by the Japanese military, that she faked her death, or that she was abducted by aliens. Skeletal remains were found on a remote atoll, Nikumaroro, in 1940 and examined by a doctor, but later vanished.
This dumbass doctor burned the skeletal remains before anyone else can see it so no one can know for sure whether it was hers or not
Flying is spooky shyt man. Especially if yall ever saw the antonov 225
