On March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines MH370, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members, crashed while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Now, ten years have passed, and the whereabouts of the wreckage of the plane are still unknown, but two foreign experts have recently put forward a new hypothesis through research and have put forward a new hypothesis, and it is expected that there will be results within 10 days at the earliest, which gives us hope again. [Innocent]
The two foreign experts are Jean-Luc Marchand, who has served as a space program for the European Commission and the European Union, and Patrick Bléley, an Air France captain and French Air Force pilot with 44 years of flying experience. Both are very authoritative in terms of qualifications and professionalism, and after a long period of repeated deliberation, they made a new prediction about the location of the Malaysia Airlines accident.
They believe that the plane should have fallen into the sea area of the accident under the control of an "experienced" pilot, rather than a "free fall" into the sea as previously speculated. After so many years of research and speculation, experts have generally blamed the captain Zahari for the disappearance, and Braley agrees with this view.
However, Braley believes that the plane did not "free fall" in the "seventh arc" of the Indian Ocean in the form of a high-speed "death spiral", but was forced to glide to a sea area several hundred kilometers south of the "seventh arc" when the captain tried to make a "soft landing". In order to make it easier for friends to understand, the editor will explain to you what the "seventh arc" means.
As shown in the picture, after the Malaysia Airlines MH370 completely disappeared from the radar, the technicians divided the map into seven arc areas that could appear based on the location of the plane when it was last seen, after data analysis and distance guessing. In the large-scale salvage operations carried out over the years, little by little, the area of the plane accident was reduced to the position of the seventh arc, that is, near the last arc.
Because there is no way to pinpoint the exact location, our exploration work over the years has basically focused on the "seventh radian" of the South Indian Sea. According to the data deduced by the research team from the flight profiles of the aircraft in the sixth and seventh arcs, Braley and Marchand believe that the final landing point of the aircraft may be in the range of 93.025°E longitude, 35.518°S to 93.039°E and 35.875°S, that is, about a few hundred kilometers south of the previous seventh arc exploration area.
So how did they come up with this range?
Before this figure was calculated, the official mainstream theory was basically that the plane made a sharp turn after the last radar call with air traffic control, and then flew for several hours before crashing into the Indian Ocean. This is also the reason why experts have locked the accident site at the seventh radian, but two salvages have been carried out near the bottom of the "seventh radian", and the results have not been as expected.
So, a bold assumption arose on this basis. As a 44-year flyer, Brairy said that no matter what happens on the plane, it must be in a manned state when the plane flies until the last moment, which is called manual control. Especially after being hijacked, it is necessary to manually operate the plane to keep it in a secret state.
When the last bit of fuel ran out of MH370, the captain turned on the plane's backup power system, which was the small gas turbine engine APU found on some large airliners. This behavior not only restored the power system of the aircraft, but also restarted the satellite communication system, which is why, after a period of disconnection, the aircraft suddenly sent a request to the Inmarsat system to connect. At the same time, it also shows that the captain did not want to let the "death spiral" free fall at that time, but wanted to regain control of the plane and allow it to make a soft landing on the sea.
One might ask, what is his purpose in doing this?
Blery felt that the captain did this to reduce the debris of the plane and sink to the bottom of the sea as intact as possible, so he made a last-minute gliding flight of the plane. It also makes sense why we have only found a few pieces of wreckage in the space of ten years. Therefore, the speculative locations of Braley and Archand are also very probable.
In addition to the above speculation, there is also a clue to this statement, investigators found that the captain of Malaysia Airlines MH370 Zahari is very keen on flight simulation games, and has installed a flight simulation device in his home for this purpose. In 2016, with the help of the FBI federal band and oh cha Korean drama, the game data of the month before the incident was restored, which found a simulated route to the southern Indian Ocean, which is very similar to the trajectory of the Malaysia Airlines accident. And what is even more unique is that only this piece of data is manually controlled flight, the rest are automatic flights.
If the above is not enough to support the assumptions of Braley and Archan, then revisit the scene on the day of the incident in detail.
At 00:42 p.m. on March 8, 2014, 53-year-old captain Zahari and 27-year-old co-pilot Farik took off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in a Boeing 777-200ER. At 1:07 a.m., 25 minutes after takeoff, the first position information came from the cab's communication addressing reporting system. After that, a real-time message would be sent every half an hour, but at 1:37, there was no information about the aircraft's position, indicating that the ACARS system had failed or been artificially shut down at this time.
The time returned to 1:19 a.m., when the plane had just crossed the Malaysian coastline, and then the Malaysian air traffic control sent unlimited electricity to confirm the information. "Malaysia 370, contact Ho Chi Minh 120, good night. Captain Zahari replied: "Good night, Malaysia 370." At this point, this is the last message on the plane.
Because at this time, the captain was supposed to call the Vietnamese air traffic control, but Zahari did not do this, but chose to disconnect all contact.
At 1:20:31 a.m., Malaysia Airlines MH370 entered Vietnamese airspace, and just a few seconds after entering, the plane's information disappeared from the secondary radar. At 1:21, another transponder system on the plane that reported information was also artificially turned off.
According to a report released by Vietnam's air traffic control in 2018, after the transponder on the plane was turned off, the plane made a sharp left turn and flew towards Malaysian airspace, and then flew around in Penang, the hometown of Captain Zahari, crossed the Strait of Malacca from the northwest direction, flew towards the Andaman Sea in the Indian Ocean, and finally disappeared from the radar completely.
But judging from the above series of bizarre operations, senior captain Briley found several questions. When the plane made a sharp left turn in Vietnamese airspace, it was already manually operated at that time, because the autopilot could not complete that level of sharp turn, and it must have been operated by a very experienced pilot. When the plane made a sharp turn, the fuselage leaned to a minimal extent, it was still dark at night, and without the help of an outside perspective, the danger factor was directly full.
And the co-pilot at that time was not capable of doing such an operation, more than 200 passengers on the plane, after the investigation, it was found that none of them had piloting experience, so at that time, only the captain was left, why did he do this?
Braley speculated that the sharp turn after turning off the transponder may have been to prevent the plane from entering Vietnam's prevention and control identification zone, because in the absence of a transponder response, the Vietnamese military would have directly sent fighter jets to intercept the operation, which only experienced captains know. At 2:22 a.m., traces of Malaysia Airlines MH370 disappeared over the Andaman Sea, and three minutes later, Inmarsat received a request for a soft landing by an aircraft, but without a flight number.
This is almost the same as the time when the aircraft's electrical energy system was activated above, and if it weren't for the automatic handshake connection with the satellite after the backup energy is activated, Malaysia Airlines' whereabouts might be a real mystery. However, it was this operation that made Braley even more puzzled, and he could control the flight while interrupting the flight number in the middle of the request. With such an operation, there is absolutely no second person except the captain. Among the previous speculations, there was not much speculation about the start of backup energy, and this time Brairley and Archand's bold predictions were indeed logical, except for not knowing why the captain would do this, everything else could be explained.
The duo speculated that the aircraft was likely to salvage a few hundred kilometers south of the search area before the seventh arc, and called on Australia, Malaysia and the U.S. Ocean Infines to conduct a new round of searches. If the company's high-performance unmanned probe can be obtained for underwater exploration, it is expected that the results will be available in 10 days at the earliest and 15 days at the slatest.
In response to the outside world's doubts, the two experts said that exploring this unknown area is likely to be the key to recovering the truth of the matter, although this is a very bold hypothesis, but if we do not bravely try these anomalous turns, the mystery about Malaysia Airlines may never be revealed.
For the words of the two experts, the editor deeply agrees, it will be ten years soon, it is time to give the wrecked people and their families a truth, I hope to hear the results we hope for as soon as possible, what do you think about this? #文章首发挑战赛#
