Even the BBC succumbed to click bait. So sad.

Read the title!

[@coriscotupi]

@@keithmiles917 The title is *_CLICK BAIT._* It might as well have said that _"New search may find evidence that the world will end next year"._

[@keithmiles917]

@@coriscotupiThe point of the title was to announce an impending new search in the light of later evidence that the wreckage may, in fact, lie in a different area from that which was originally calculated. Whilst I might agree that stating the purpose of a search was probably not required, that does not make it "Click bait" any more than any other headline, unless it is deliberately misleading as many other "KZbin" captions are!

We've heard all these facts dozens of times already. It's clear that it was most likely the pilot's suicide. What's interesting is why none of the serious investigative journalists have conducted an investigation into the life and connections of the main suspect, the captain. It's necessary to talk to his colleagues, friends, acquaintances, neighbors, and relatives. Surely some details will emerge that may explain the reasons that drove him to this mass murder.

[@MewDenise]

So... there is no new evidence. Thanks for the clickbait

[@keithmiles917]

The title doesn't say that there is. It's about a new search, not new evidence.

The explanation is quite clear: somebody with pilot level expertise did it, it was a suicide and a murder.

@@keithmiles917 i don't understand why reading the title makes a difference. the nexflix documentary came out in march 2023 and this vid is like almost a year after

[@keithmiles917]

@@school_gmailThe previous documentary was about a previous search that was ended having found no crash location. The title of this video refers to a possible new search that "may" find new evidence. Two different things. Two different searches. The title is, therefore, accurate and, therefore, NOT "click bait". Attention grabbing, maybe, like all headlines, but not "click bait" which usually applies to something false or misleading.

[@keithmiles917]

All pilots know that the routine, and expected, response when given a frequency to contact (or other certain information or instruction) is to read it back, followed by the aircraft callsign. The mere "Good night" response, in this case, especially from an experienced commercial pilot, immediately got my attention the very first time I heard it, several years ago, in the original TV documentary which, at the time, did not comment on it. For the transponder signal to then disappear from the radar screen but with military radar returns suggesting that the aircraft was still flying and manoeuvring does strongly suggest deliberate human input. The only questions then would be who and why? Those questions may, or may not, ever be answered even if the flight recorders are found.

[@aleKaKi_]

No need. It's accurate. Read it again. It says "may find".

3月8日 Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, a Boeing 777-200ER, disappeared from air traffic control radars while over the South China Sea, en route from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport. The flight carried 227 passengers from 15 nations and 12 Malaysian crew members. The sudden disappearance of the aircraft triggered an extensive international search and rescue operation, the largest and most expensive in aviation history. 3月9日 As news of the aircraft's disappearance spread, a multinational search effort was initiated, encompassing vast areas of the South China Sea and later expanding to the Indian Ocean. Back in Malaysia, a wave of prayers and support activities unfolded across the country, with citizens uniting in hope for the safe return of those onboard. 3月10日 Families of the passengers began arriving in Kuala Lumpur, seeking information and support. Financial markets reacted to the uncertainty, leading to a significant drop in Malaysia Airlines' stock price. Meanwhile, authorities investigated oil slicks in the South China Sea, but tests confirmed they were not related to MH370. 3月11日 INTERPOL confirmed that two passengers boarded the flight with stolen passports, raising concerns about the security of international travel and the possibility of foul play. Additional data suggested that MH370 had significantly deviated from its planned flight path, deepening the mystery. 3月12日 Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak announced the nation's commitment to an all-out search for MH370. The same day, China released satellite images of potential debris in the South China Sea, although subsequent searches found no link to the missing aircraft. 3月13日 The Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency deployed aircraft to investigate reported sightings of debris. This intensified search effort underscored the urgency and complexity of locating the missing plane. 3月14日 US officials speculated that MH370 might have crashed into the Indian Ocean, a theory that shifted the search focus and expanded the search area significantly. Inmarsat, a satellite communications company, disclosed that it had received automated signals from MH370, offering a glimmer of hope and a new lead to follow. 3月15日 Prime Minister Najib announced that MH370's communications systems had been deliberately disabled, transforming the search operation into a criminal investigation. This revelation prompted widespread speculation about the motives behind the aircraft's disappearance. 3月16日 Malaysian police seized the flight simulator from the pilot's home as part of an expanded investigation, now considering the disappearance as a possible act of terrorism. 3月17日 The search area expanded to the southern corridor of the Indian Ocean, based on the aircraft's last known satellite communications. 3月18日 Australia took a leading role in coordinating the search in the southern Indian Ocean, reflecting the international effort's scale and scope. 3月19日 Malaysia sought the FBI's expertise to analyze data from the pilot's flight simulator, hoping to uncover clues about the plane's fate. 3月20日 Satellite images and aircraft sightings suggested possible debris fields in the southern Indian Ocean, far from the original search area, leading to a shift in search efforts. 3月20-31日 As air and sea search efforts intensified, additional countries joined the operation. The sighting of more potential debris by Chinese satellites and the extension of the search area underscored the challenges faced by the international search team. 3月25日 Malaysia Airlines officially announced that MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean, based on satellite data analysis. This devastating news led to nationwide mourning in Malaysia, with newspapers publishing in black to honor the victims. 3月26-31日 Despite adverse weather conditions, search operations resumed with renewed vigor, employing advanced technologies like autonomous submarines and deep-sea vehicles. The Malaysian and international communities continued to express solidarity and support for the families affected by the tragedy. 4月1日 The search for MH370 continued with international support, including contributions from the British Royal Navy and the enlistment of private resources like Peter Jackson's private jet. Despite extensive efforts, the aircraft's final resting place remains a mystery, with only sporadic pieces of debris washing ashore on islands in the Indian Ocean, offering poignant reminders of the unresolved tragedy. 4月1日 This detailed account captures the relentless search for MH370, the outpouring of global support, and the enduring mystery that has led to widespread speculation, grief, and a reevaluation of aviation security measures. 5月1日 The beginning of May was marked by public dissent against the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in Malaysia, where more than 10,000 people gathered for a protest at Dataran Merdeka, Kuala Lumpur. This event underscored the nation's broader social and economic concerns amidst the ongoing MH370 tragedy. Additionally, the demolition of a 150-year-old mansion once owned by philanthropist Wong Ah Fook in Johor Bahru, and the discovery of Malacca Sultanate ancient coins at Pulau Nangka, Melaka, highlighted the complex tapestry of Malaysian heritage and current issues. 5月2日 KLIA 2, the new low-cost carrier terminal part of Kuala Lumpur International Airport, commenced commercial operations. This development was part of Malaysia's broader efforts to enhance its aviation infrastructure, even as the country grappled with the unresolved disappearance of MH370. 5月3-16日 The month continued with various events that, while unrelated to the search for MH370, painted a picture of a nation continuing to move forward amid adversity. Notably, Teresa Kok, Seputeh MP, was charged with sedition over her Chinese New Year video, showcasing the tense political climate. Meanwhile, widespread power failures affected multiple states, and significant transitions occurred in Malaysia's aviation sector, with the closure of the old Low-Cost Carrier Terminal (LCCT) and the shift of Air Asia and Air Asia X fleet to KLIA 2. The political and social landscape saw further developments with the resignation of Terengganu's Menteri Besar, Ahmad Said, and the controversy over halal certification for Cadbury chocolate products due to the presence of porcine DNA. 5月17-18日 The Red Bull Air Race World Championship at Putrajaya Lake offered a brief respite and entertainment for the nation, showcasing Malaysia's ability to host international events. The culinary achievement of Ipoh-born chef Catherine Chin Wan Ping, who won MasterChef UK, brought pride to the country. Concurrently, the political and diplomatic engagements continued with Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak's state visit to the United Arab Emirates and significant achievements in sports, such as Nicol Ann David winning the British Open title, demonstrating Malaysia's resilience and multifaceted presence on the world stage. 5月20-31日 The end of May saw Malaysia Airlines flight MH1348 experiencing a lightning strike, a reminder of the inherent challenges in aviation. The arrival of two giant pandas from China served as a symbol of international friendship and cooperation. The period also witnessed political and sporting events, including elections and the Thomas Cup finals, reflecting the ongoing life and vibrancy of Malaysian society despite the shadow cast by MH370. 5月25日 Three foreign men suspected to be members of the Sri Lankan Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) terrorist group were arrested by the Malaysian police of the Special Branch's Counter-Terrorism Division (CTD) at different locations in Klang and Petaling districts, Selangor. 6月1-30日 June brought various significant events, including concerts, the retirement of Malaysia Airlines' Boeing 737-400, and the opening of Pinewood Iskandar Malaysia Studios. These developments signified Malaysia's efforts to strengthen its cultural and entertainment industries. The rescue of the tanker Mt Ai Maru by the Royal Malaysian Navy highlighted the country's commitment to maritime security. 6月1-31日 The search for MH370 saw the deployment of an additional vessel, amidst the restructuring of the Eastern Sabah Security Command (ESSCOM) and Malaysia's strong stance against Israeli air strikes on Gaza. The latter half of the year continued to unfold with Malaysia actively participating in international diplomacy and regional security, alongside commemorating the tragic loss and ongoing mystery of MH370. 7月1日 As the search for MH370 transitioned into a more prolonged and complex phase, Malaysia and the international community remained engaged in a multifaceted dialogue about aviation safety, regional security, and the challenges of modern governance. The saga of MH370, while primarily a tragic mystery, also reflects the interconnectedness of global events and the resilience of communities in the face of uncertainty.

My hat's off to those who actually watched the whole thing. I stopped about a minute in because of the annoying background "music?". It was just loud enough to distract to the point I couldn't concentrate on what was being said, nor, at that point I did not care to listen. But perhaps the intent was to distract so people wouldn't listen carefully enough to realize there was really no new information, at least according to some of the other comments I have read by those who apparently did watch/listen to the whole thing.

[@christinemck7033]

I think that plane disappeared due to negligence, the same as with the titanic.

[@MrStringybark]

"I think that plane disappeared due to negligence....." I cannot agree. There is too much solid evidence that the direction taken by this plane was done in such a way as to escape detection. Not only that onboard devices revealing its position were switched off while the plane was still hours away from its final destination.

Merci Alessandra de nous avoir au moins cité dans votre interview. Avez vous lu mon livre au moins? Captain patrick B.😊

[@angelitomilay5209]

Found again? Where is it

[@mrmelmba]

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 layout of city lights?_ The captain's software worked perfectly, having tested it many times at _home._ The ventilation sub-routine lacked data that the plane had left the ground and returned air valves to the open position. It was nighttime. Everyone felt drowsy and some passengers were dozing. Nothing unusual. They slipped into unconsciousness and were soon dead. The plane continued on the captain’s reprogrammed flight path until it ran out of fuel. Authorities may load the captain’s program into a similar plane and verify the result. But for overlooking the ventilation routine in a sub-program that proved fatal, the captain's method of testing pilots might have become standard procedure with his name memorialized into aviation history.

[@benjaminhanke79]

It's misleading to compare this to the Titanic because noboby searched 60+ years for it. As far as I know they searched a military submarine and after that was found there was time and money left to take a look for the titanic.

[@tickedoffsheikh8587]

[@theoz2850]

The plane had most likely completely run out of fuel by the time it crashed. Thus fuel traces floating on the sea would not have been too large. If the search was not started in the right spot those fuel remains likely dissipated quickly given the typical weather conditions in this region of the ocean.

The background of the pilots is clean. The idea that the plane flew south had to be reconsidered. Just after 911, George Bush Jr. had said that a new technology to remotely take over a plane will be introduced. It is highly possible that the plane was hijacked and maybe the hijackers either wanted to crash the plane into Petronas Towers and Malaysian government asked Big Daddy for help, who then flew the plane remotely into the deep seas. Another option is the flyers of the plane wanted to crash the plane into US Military Base at Diego Gracia near Maldives and big daddy remotely crashed the plane. Why is nobody investigating these options?
