Planes somewhere deep in the ocean It took 2 years to find air France 447 that crashed in the Atlantic ocean in 2009.

[@kim-nabi-the-butterfly]

With Air France, they had an idea where it crashed. The plane was sending reports to the AF offices. They noticed all the problems the plane went through in its last minutes (pilot error). The co-pilot pointed the nose of the plane upward, which sent it into a stall. By the time the pilot realized what he was doing, it was already too late. With MH370, they have no idea where it crashed.

[@samalass466]

That onee had no indicator of being far off course, so they could just search along its route. MH370 could've been flying anywhere over the ocean.

[@therealjimbo3206]

man why do people make comments like these without even knowing any information 😂😂. do you know how far THIS plane was off course? of course you don't otherwise you wouldn't have made this idiotic comment

[@therealjimbo3206]

[@codingvio7383]

Air France was communicating with satellites right up to the crash. MH370 lost nearly all communications (Only 7 ping locations across a huge ocean) with HOURS of fuel on board. Now try finding a plane in that.

[@Puipuia_Chhangte]

There are three persons who saw some kind of plane that fly through Northeast India in Mizoram They’re saying the plane might caught on fire because they saw like the tail was on fire The time was around 5-6 am on Sunday morning at 8th March 2014

[@Chadman2]

This is very interesting because the plane caught on fire is the most credible theory based on the evidence we have, with suicide from the pilot.

[@oceanstaiga5928]

The MCAS log in information proves by now that the plane was in the air for hours and crashed in the South Indian Ocean. A fire would have taken the plane down way earlier so it cannot be the cause of the crash.

@PearlKittens-dv1sh took 70 years to find a massive boat. a plane isn't meant to withstand the water lol. who knows what happened to the actual plane on impact. I'm guessing you assumed it just perfectly sank to a part of the ocean that was easily accessible as if any part of the deep ocean is easily accessible 💀 people like you don't take real time to think about the depth of things, (no pun intended) do you? for all we know the cabin could've split due to the speed and pressure or everything could've ripped apart sending people and parts all over the deep ocean. those bodies probably aren't bodies anymore

[@titan133760]

Guys, please stop speculating on the exact cause of why it disappeared and crashed into the ocean. We will never know the full picture until we have recovered the flight recorders

The pilot surely has something to do about it. There are possibilities it's not even in the ocean. He could have taken it somewhere else and those people were killed in a different way most of us initially thought. What if the pilot is working with other "people?" This wasn't Titanic era, it's just a decade ago. With its route and all the high technology, it will be so hard to miss details. It would truly be shocking if those people are still alive kept somewhere to work for those evil people.
