Millions of people around the world have been impacted by the blunder of Malaysia Flight 370, but what actually happened? A normal Boeing 777 aircraft does not just disappear every day, and Malaysia Flight 370 seemed to do just that. Many wonder how an ordinary Boeing 777 carrying 227 international passengers can go missing in a blink of an eye (“Malaysia Flight 370”). Some think it was a contretemps, yet some think it was an intricate terrorist attack. Malaysia Flight 370 made a huge impact on the plane industry, and affected millions of people throughout the United States. Malaysia Flight 370 was one of the biggest blunders in the history of the plane industry. It seemed that a huge Boeing 777 disappeared mysteriously in the blink of an …show more content…
The dramatic mystery furiously spread through various media sources, which caused people to panic and wonder what would come next. The media went crazy with different hypotheses that could have caused the mysterious blunder. In the article “Missing Malaysia plane: Co-pilot 'spoke last words'”, it talks about the conspiracies that people thought caused the disappearance immediately after they heard about the missing plane, and even recently, about a year after the crisis. The article says that the most popular conspiracy of the flight’s disappearance, besides crashing into the vast Indian Ocean, was that the flight was hijacked by terrorists. With the recent threat of Isis on the world, terrorism was a real possibility. Some believe that this could have been a failed “9/11” type terror attack. Stated in the article “MH370 'hijacked and in Afghanistan'” by Chris Richards, a Russian newspaper claimed that “Flight MH370 was hijacked by "unknown terrorists’” and forced to a remote land near Kandahar, Russia. While this hypothesis was not proven to be true, it was not proven to be false either, until the pings from the black box seemed to come from the Indian ocean (Richards). However, even with this evidence, the true explanation for Malaysia Flight 370’s disappearance remains a …show more content…
Everyone’s goal was to find the black box, which would lead to all of the answers. However, they believed that the black box’s batteries would eventually run out, making every second significant. As stated in the article “The search for flight MH370”, the immediate search was useless, for the people who were searching in the ocean were not searching it in the right spot. A week after the plane disappeared, they discovered satellites which determined that the plane was traveling for more hours than what was speculated at first. Before the recognition of the flight’s true travel path, the search area covered a surface area of 4,600,000 square kilometers in the vast and complex southern Indian Ocean. After the recognition of the flight’s path, the search became more refined. The refined search was in a completely different spot than what was originally searched. As stated in the article “Malaysian jet MH370: Refined analysis drives new search area” by Jonathan Amos, the refined search area covered a surface of 60,000 square kilometers, which is incomparably smaller than the original space. In this area, about 1,800 km from Perth, Australia, specialists from numerous countries were scanning the ocean floor vigorously in search for the black box (Amos). Even with the constant hunt for the black box, it still has not been found, giving up most hope for finding
On September 11, 2001, the Islamic extremist group, al-Qaeda hijacked four american airlines. “Two of the airlines crashed into the world trade center in New York The third plane crashed into the Pentagon outside the world trade center, and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania” (9/11 Attacks). They called it a suicide attack against United States, but there are conspiracy theories the the terrorist are still alive. That they stole
One of the disappearances involves Flight 19. “Five Avenger torpedo bombers lifted into the air from the Naval Air Station at Fort Lauderdale, Florida, at 2:10 in the afternoon” (“The Mystery”). The goal of the flight was to practice bomb runs and did not seem to be unusual. The pilots consisted of all students except for one commander whose name was Lt. Charles Taylor. However, the Charles Taylor was not familiar with the area around which they were flying. Taylor then became frustrated and confused which caused them to end up miles of course (“The Mystery”). Pilot experience when flying is important and could be the reason why a flight makes it to its destination or does not. Another disappearance involves the loss of NC16002. “NC16002 was a DC-3 passenger plane that vanished on the night of December 28, 1948, during a flight from San Juan, Puerto Rico, to Miami, Florida” (“The Mystery”). “Investigators focused on the fact that Huber wasn’t licensed to fly in the dark, using only instruments, and that the plane had taken off from the Bahamas before sunrise” (MacGregor 38). Pilot experience and training can be seen as the reason why these flights never made it to where they were supposed to go which is explanation as to why the planes
The official story of 9/11 is a conspiracy theory in that the government claims 19 hijackers conspired together to hijack four planes and create terror in the world. Four American airplanes were hijacked; two were driven into the World Trade Centers and the third airplane into the Pentagon. The fourth airplane suspected target was the White House, but it was diverted by the brave men and women aboard that hijacked airplane, and crashed the airline jet before it could reach its target. It was like time stood still as America watched through television broadcast these unbelievable and horrifying events taking place. The reports told of the smell the jet fuel, burning flesh, and people jumping out windows to their death to escape the flames. When the two bravura structures tumbling down, rescuers, (police officers, firefighters, and ambulance drivers and techs) were caught in the mast and lost their lives doing their job trying to save lives.
Believers believes that the plane was purposely crashed by the four terrorist hijackers, cause of the courageous acts by passengers, who had learned of the crashes that had happened at the World Trade Center, they had crashed the plane in Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It has been believed that the passengers tried to save many lives by fighting back and crashed the plane into the field. “Some believe that Flight 93 landed safely, while a substitute plane was shot out of the sky” Griffin. Others believe that the passengers were killed or relocated to another part of the world and will
On the morning of September 11/2001, 19 terrorist working for the Al Qaeda terrorist organization hijacked four commercial planes. They attempted to fly them into multiple U.S targets. One of the planes, American Airlines, flight 11, crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center at 8:50 a.m. Another plane, United Airlines, flight 175, crashed into the south tower at 9:04 a.m. These tragedies took the lives of nearly 3000 people and affected the lives of millions.
Many conspiracy theories have been developed concerning what happened to the World Trade Centers on September 11, 2001, but there are a select few that, similar to the truth, cannot be disproved without quite a bit of effort. One theory is that the Twin Towers were destroyed by controlled demolitions. Another idea of what happened is that planes did hit the towers, but they were remote controlled. A third theory is that Al Qaeda is not responsible for the 9-11 attacks (The Top September 11 Conspiracy Theories, n.d.). And last, but certainly not least, is the theory that the 9-11 attacks were a false flag operation. When considering these theories, there are many different controversial areas that should be assessed to differentiate between fact and opinion.
September 11, a turning point in the United States history. This event caused various negative impacts on the aviation industry. It changed the way airports and airlines organized themselves completely. The effect was so strong that it caused bankruptcies, people to lose their jobs, changes in how flights were made and flew, and security checking’s. This day also created fear and psychological issues on individuals concerning anything to do with flying on an airplane. In other words, this day was a catastrophe in the aviation industry in the US.
As the blood trickled down the flight attendant’s neck, they all prayed that they wouldn’t die. A dark skined man headed toward the front of the plane to claim his next victim. He slowly pressed the cold, red blade of a knife into the pilot’s neck. Many of those who saw screamed. They all knew, then, that they would die. Passengers felt the plane take some wild turns and they realized that they had turned around. Not long after this occurred to four planes, every single passenger died. Terrorists had taken over planes in America. Four planes, nineteen terrorists, and almost 3,000 dead people later, the United States of America has been changed forever.
In conclusion, many contribution factors led to the Crossair flight 3597 crash but is mainly triggered by Crossair’s incapability of assessment, pilot error and lastly the air traffic controller. Analysis of a flight crash is important so that we will know the causes, thus being able tackle it, making sure that there are no other flight crashes like Crossair flight 3597.
All in all whether or not they figure out the outcome of what had actually happened to the missing plane, the outcome of it is a tragic loss all around the world. The flight had people who were charity workers, IBM workers, vacationers, and more. What was supposed to be a pleasant flight turned out to become a tragedy for families, friends, and loved ones. Satish Sarath, claimed that “she does not even know how to react to this news.” She was the sister of a member on the flight, whom went over to Malaysia for a charity meeting. It has been almost a month since the plane’s disappearance and no sight or core evidence has been found from Flight 370.
There were several conspiracies about the planes that attacked the Twin Towers. One of the planes left Boston's Logan Airport at 7:59 a.m. The hijackers zoomed the plane into the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 8:46 a.m. The other plane left Logan Airport at 8:14 a.m. The hijackers flew the plane into the South Tower of the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m. America had stated that 10 planes were suppose to be hijacked on that day. “Providing new details on the planning of the plot, the commission staff said that al-Qaida planner Khalid Shaihk Mohammed initially proposed a Sept. 11 attack involving 10 planes that would be used to attack CIA and FBI headquarters, unidentified nuclear plants and tall buildings in California and Washington state,” (Brunker). Both planes that flew into the Twin Towers were Boeing 767. The plane was 159 feet long. Another thing that seemed odd was that 9,700 gallons when it should usually have nothing less than 14,000 gallons. The engine was found on Murray Street when it should have been right around the Tower. Things were said about the plane being like a missile since the engine was dropped so far from the Towers. According to German TV footage, the planes front nozzle was caught on fire before going through the building. Conspiracy theories state that there were three things attached to the plan that were likely to explode. After the plane went into the building the plan some how exploded making it look like a missile went into the building or some how it was some sort of bomb. The Federal Emergency Management Agency, FEMA, drew out the plane and the way the plane was flown into the Towers and it did not seem right. The plane propellers of the Boeing 757 were smaller than the hole it actuall...
Malaysia airlines Flight 370 was scheduled to fly from Kuala Lumpur International, To Beijing capital airport in china. The airplane operated by Malaysia airlines, the last communication they had was around 1:19 on march 8th, it was over the south china sea a little less than one whole hour after take off.

For instance, the multiple calls made to family members as well as 911 from the frantic passengers. Mark Bingham for instance called 911, as well as his mom telling her he loved her and that the plane was being hijacked. Another man called 911 screaming that they were being hijacked and that he heard some sort of explosion and saw white smoke coming from the plane. Then there was Tom Burnett, who called his wife saying the hijackers had already stabbed to death one passenger and that he intended to do something about it. A Jeremy Glick called his relatives saying the same, that he and some other passengers were intending to fight the hijackers. These calls brought up the thought that perhaps some passengers on board had fought the hijackers, keeping them from controlling the plane, and sending it crashing to the ground.
The Malaysia Airline System (MAS) reported a loss of over RM1.3 billion for the Financial Year 2005. It was unacceptable to many parties such as the stakeholders and the government especially the announcement was made at the same time as some of MAS regional competitors reported strong profits in the same year.
When I stepped into the large neatly organized white polished plane, I never though something would go wrong. I woke up and found myself on an extremely hot bright sunny desert island filled with shiny soft bright green palm trees containing rough bright yellow hard felt juicy apples. The simple strong plane I was in earlier shattered into little pieces of broken glass and metal when crashing onto the wet slimy coffee colored sand and burning with red orange colored flames. After my realization to this heart throbbing incident I began to run pressing my eight inch footsteps into the wet squishy slimy light brown sand looking in every direction with my wide open eyes filled with confusion in search of other survivors. After finding four other survivors we began moving our small petite weak legs fifty inches from the painful incident. Reaching our destination which was a tiny space filled with dark shade blocking the extreme heat coming from the bright blue sky, I felt my eyelids slowly moving down my light colored hazel eyes and found myself in a dream. I was awakened the next day from a grumbling noise coming from my empty stomach.
