New efforts to solve Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappearance a decade later

A Malaysia Airlines flight with 239 people on board disappeared 10 years ago while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. The plane veered off course before vanishing from radar screens, and its wreckage was never found, despite intense searches. A new attempt to solve the mystery could bring answers to still-grieving families. Elise Preston has more.

They need to improve the black box tech so you can find them more easily

The truth of its disappearance is important.

Ham radio operators located the area of the crash site, by studying the disturbances in their radio waves by the aircraft.

Unfortunately we dont know whats going on in people's heads, we need to have air marshalls in the cockpit as well as the cabin... RIP to the people on that plane that didnt want to die.

The captain loaded his own program into the plane's computer so that he could put the first officer who was on his last training flight through the paces. _Was he capable of handling his responsibilities? How would the first officer react if communications were lost? Could he navigate to the nearest airport based on the stars in the sky and patterns of city lights?_ The captain's program worked perfectly, having tested it many times at _home._ The ventilation management system lacked data that the plane had left the ground and responded accordingly, opening valves that let in fresh air. Passengers were dozing so nothing appeared unusual when everyone felt drowsy. They slipped into unconsciousness and were soon dead. The plane continued on its programmed flight path until it ran out of fuel.

Authorities may load the captain’s program into a similar plane and verify the result.

We all know this will never be found. They’ve been saying this same crap for ten years now. R.I.P. to the lives lost. 💔

I saw a t-shirt with a plane on the back of it that said Malaysia. It said "we're headed to Slug 7s". There was a phrase like "good flight, good night" on it. I was immediately puzzled. The man claimed he was given the shirt. Does anyone know what slug 7s is? Like a sea slug? Comments are blocked on other sources. I thought it was weird

What kind of closure do they think they're going to get. And we do know what happened that pilot flew that plane and crashed it into the water. He was just trying to show everybody how smart he was. How he can make a plane disappear. They have the exact path on his flight simulator at his house. And they know that plane took that route that's on his flight simulator. He did it

We know what happened. It went into the ocean. That’s your closure. They’re dead.
I’m not saying you don’t need to find the plane, but saying there’s no closure is beyond silly. The debris that’s washed up is consistent with MH370. We know that Zahari Ahmad Shah had a flight plan on his simulator that was almost identical to where the plane was tracked to have gone into the ocean. Also, if it was a straight dive by the plane, it would’ve exploded into a million pieces. The pieces would’ve sunk to the bottom almost right away. Even the stuff that was float worthy would’ve been destroyed. So.

Don't worry Trump will save you.... 😮

That plane will never be found. Mark my words

With advanced technology today, they have searched and mapped the ocean floor a hundred times but still cannot find the plane? The aliens must have taken the aircraft somewhere and passengers are still alive.
