There are still more questions than answers in the investigation into the March 2014 disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing MH370 over the Indian Ocean. Why did not the crew answer? Is this a hijacking? Is it true that Americans know more than they say? A Russian expert answers.
The disappearance on 8 March 2014 of flight MH370, which had departed Kuala Lumpur for Beijing, remains a mystery. The plane, a Malaysian Boeing 777, carried a total of 239 people including 12 crew members. In 2015, they were all declared dead in an accident, although their fate is still unknown. The question, and in particular a possible American trail in the case, was mentioned in the Russian MK newspaper by Sergei Melnichenko, director general of the international flight safety consulting and analysis agency.
The disappearance of such a large aircraft is an extremely rare event in the history of world aviation, he said. Very often, debris or even the black boxes of the plane are discovered on the second day of research. But flight MH370 remains surrounded by unresolved problems.

British man claims to have discovered the missing MH 370 of Malaysia Airlines
On March 8, 2014, the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport and disappeared over the South China Sea. The last radio communication "Good night, Malaysia 370" goes back to 1:19, he recalled. At 1:27, all communication with the device was lost. The control tower of the neighboring countries have attempted to contact the aircraft during the six hours that followed, but without success. According to the investigation, the Boeing allegedly flew about seven hours without ever responding to any air traffic controller, after which, without fuel, it would have begun to lose altitude, before its engines caught fire.
Sergei Melnichenko says it's possible, but why did the crew keep quiet? There is still no answer to this question. He recalled that the search operation had started in the South China Sea before moving into the Indian Ocean, to the western shores of Australia. However, nothing has been found.

The crash of the Malaysian MH370 would have been intentional
The story received a new impetus this fall: there was a lot of information about Boeing debris found around the world, sometimes in the ocean, sometimes in the jungle. However, research organized in these sectors has never given anything.
He recalled that the last "discovery" of the genre belonged to a pastor who, after studying the Google maps, established that the plane was in Cambodia where he intended to go soon.
"In this context, a question must be asked: what to do with the debris and coins that have been declared authentic by the experts and found off Madagascar, near Reunion Island and on the eastern coast of the 'Africa ?, he asked. How did the plane end up in Cambodia? "
"The documents of the official investigation are full of inconsistencies," said Sergei Melnichenko, author of the book "MH370: a flight to nowhere."
"With my co-author Pavel Piatkine, we have reviewed all the reports of the Malaysian Investigation Commission and found a lot of shortcomings and facts that are hard to believe," he said.

Last minute of the flight MH370 gone: a deadly tendril in the ocean?
For example, the copy of the flight plan lists several relief airfields in China, while the survey documents mention other sites. This casts doubt on the professionalism of the investigators or suggests that an order has been given to complicate the investigation as much as possible.
Sergei Melnichenko also returned to the investigation led by the Frenchman Ghyslain Wattrelos who lost his wife and two of his children in this accident. As an injured party, he had greater access to documents. For example, he was told that a Malaysian shipping representative traveling in the cabin had a diversion program and was able to enter the aircraft computer to change the data.
"This means that the investigation must focus on cybersecurity," said Sergei Melnichenko, adding that it was also essential to study satellite data.
There is finally the "American trace", he continued. Indeed, after the bombing of the twin towers, Boeing set itself the goal of developing an autopilot that would extinguish from the ground any device put on board, both by pilots than by terrorists. The documents confirm that the company has obtained a license. However, to any question asked to the giant, he replies that he has never created anything like this. But because Boeing is a military technology company, it is obvious that its specialists can not say anything even if they wanted to.
Sergei Melnichenko recalled that Ghyslain Wattrelos spoke, without mentioning names or positions and without specifying their role, representatives of American structures with information on what the plane had happened in reality, but bound by secrecy.
"So, to know what really happened, you have to change the legal status of the investigation. It is important to do this to involve those who have access to military secrecy. Otherwise, we will probably never know what happened to flight MH370 and its 239 passengers from 14 countries including Russia. "
There were also four French passengers: Laurence Wattrelos, her 14-year-old daughter Ambre and her 17-year-old son Hadrien, accompanied by her French-Chinese girlfriend, Yan. No investigation has shed light on the mystery of this disappearance, not even that of the FBI that offered its help.
