On 8 March 2014, A Malaysian Airlines Flight Took Off From Kuala Lumpur
But Did Not Reach Beijing, Its Destination.
To Date, No One Knows About The Whereabouts Of This Flight.
But After Eight Years, Finally, We've Found A Clue About The Location Of This Aircraft.
Viewers, The Date Was 8th March 2014
It, Is, About Eight Years Ago, Flight Mh370, An Aircraft Of Malaysian Airlines,
Was Bound To Take Off From The Malaysian Capital Kuala Lumpur
And Land In Beijing, The Capital Of China.
Two pilots, 10 Cabin Crew, And 227 Passengers Were Present On That Flight.
Most Of The Passengers Belonged To China.
Both Pilots Were Very Experienced.
53-year-old Captain Valarie Ahmad Shah
Had 33 Years Of Flight Experience.
While 27-year-old Co-pilot Farooq Abdul Hammed,
It, Was A Junior Pilot With Seven Years Of Flight Experience.
This Aircraft Was An 11-year-old Boeing 777 Aircraft.
In, There Was No Problem Of Any Kind,
Nor Was This Aircraft A Victim Of Any Mechanical Or Electrical Fault In The Past.
What I Want To Say Is That It Was Completely A Regular Flight
Running Between Malaysia And China.
Which Used To Fly From Malaysia To China Or Back To Malaysia From China
After Flying For 5 Hours And 34 Minutes Daily.
But Today Was Not A Normal Day For This Flight,
Rather, It Was Much More Than Abnormal.
Of Course, Flight Mh370 Was Supposed To Fly For 5 Hours And 34 Minutes,
But Before Takeoff, It Was Loaded With Fuel, Which Was More Than Required.
Which Could Fly For 7 Hours And 41 Minutes.
That Is Two And A Half Hours More Than Its Actual Requirement.
It Is Also A Routine Practice Of Airlines To Do So.
So That If The Plane Is Diverted Owing To Bad Weather/Emergency
Then It Could Utilize The Extra Fuel.
The Day Was 8th March 2014
And Time Was 12:42 Am
When Flight Mh370 Took Off From Kuala Lumpur As Per Routine.
The First Pilot, Valarie, Was In Direct Contact With The Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Tower
Before And After The Takeoff.
On Takeoff, The Aircraft Turned Its Direction Towards The South China Sea.
And After 20 Minutes In, At 1:09 Am,
The Transponder On The Aircraft Sent Its Current GPS, Location To The Radar
Of The Kuala Lumpur Air Traffic Control Tower.
This Is The Automatic Function Of The Transponder To Send Its Current Location
To The Nearest Radars After A Short Period.
Till Now, Everything Was Going According To Plan
10 Min After That, I.e. At 01:19 Am, When Flight Mh370 Left Malaysian Air Jurisdiction
And Entered Vietnamese Air Jurisdiction.
The Control Tower Of Kuala Lumpur Contacted First Pilot Valarie,
For The Last Time, Said This-
This Meant That Now Flight Mh370 Should Contact The Control Tower
Of The Vietnamese City Of Ho Chi Minh.
The First Pilot, Captain Valerie, Heard This Message And Also Replied To It.
Neither The Control Tower Nor Captain Valarie Knew
That This Good Night Message
Was Going To Be The Last Message To Be Received From Mh370.
At This Time, A Full 37 Minutes Had Elapsed Since The Flight Took Off.
Now, It Normally Happens That Until The Plane Reaches Its Destination,
It Stays In Contact With The Air Traffic Control Tower
Of Any Major Airport Coming, It's Way.
And Similarly, It Was Expected To Happen Here Also.
But Everything That Was Going On Normally Till Now, Started Becoming Abnormal.
Yes, Exactly Three Minutes After His Last Message, At 01:21 Am,
Flight Mh370 Suddenly Disappeared From The Radar.
That Is, The Plane Had Completely Disappeared
From The Radar Of Both Kuala Lumpur And Ho Chi Minh.
But This Was Completely Normal For Kuala Lumpur Tower.
Because They Thought That Mh370 Had Now Entered Vietnamese Airspace,
That's Why It Disappeared From Their Radar.
But When The Ho Chi Minh Control Tower Saw Flight Mh370 Disappearing From Their Radar,
They Felt Something Was Wrong.
They Immediately Tried To Contact The Captain, But No One Responded.
For The Next 18 Minutes, Ho Chi Minh Tower Tried To Contact Mh370
But Still Got No Response From The Captain.
And Then Ho Chi Minh Tower Contacted The Kuala Lumpur Tower
And Briefed Them On The Situation.
Now Normally, In This Condition The Rescue Center Has To Be It, Informed Within 1 Hour
But The Kuala Lumpur Control Tower
Informed The Aeronautical Rescue Coordination Center After Four Hours.
And By Then It Was Too Late.
It Was 06:15 Am And This Was The Time When Mh370 Was Scheduled To Land In Beijing.
There Was A Hope That The Aircraft Might Land In Beijing At The Correct Time.
But No Positive News Came From There Either.
At 06:32 Am, A Search Operation Has Been Started At The Exact Place
From Where The Plane Disappeared.
34 Ships And 28 Aircraft From Seven Countries Started Searching For Flight Mh370
On The Border Of The Gulf of Thailand, And The South China Sea.
But Unfortunately, There Was No Trace Of The Aircraft.
By This Time, The Whole World Had Come To Know About This Incident.
TV, News Websites, And Social Media Were All Showing Only This News.
During This, The Investigation Team Of Many C
