Missing Malaysia Airlines mystery: 8 possibilities behind the plane's disappearance

The Dhaka Times Desk The mystery of the missing Malaysian plane remains a mystery. No one has yet figured out what actually happened to the plane. However, there are different opinions about where the plane can go.


Different researchers have given different opinions on where the plane could go. BBC Online reports on the plane's destination and possible consequences. Here are 8 possibilities that come up in a nutshell when considering possible trajectories and consequences.

1. Possibility of landing in Andaman

Former BA 777 pilot Steve Buzdigan believes that the missing plane may have landed in India's Andaman-Nicobar Islands as it is very close to the coasts of Indonesia, Thailand and Myanmar. However, this possibility has already been rejected by the editor of Andaman Chronicle. The editor thinks that it is very difficult to do such a thing without the attention of the Indian Army.

2. Can fly to Kazakhstan?

Another pilot named Sylvia Wrigley commented that it is not impossible for the missing plane to land in any deserted desert in Kazakhstan. According to him, it could also be that the hijackers were able to easily escape the radar because of the outdated air traffic control system.

3. Possibility to go to Taklaman desert

As 153 of the 239 passengers of the plane are Chinese nationals. And therefore it can be assumed that the Chinese separatist Uighur group is also likely to be involved in the hijacking of the plane. And in that case they can hijack this plane and take it to Taklaman desert in China. In that desert called Taklaman, it is not possible for any common man to go there in any way.

4. Can fly south?

The plane flew for 5/6 hours after it went off Malaysia's radar. From where the missing plane was, it would have been very easy to fly south to the Indian Ocean or northern Australia. Norman Shanks, professor of aviation security at Conventory University, said the plane may have crashed while flying in that direction.

5. Can the radar lose in the shadow of another aircraft?

Another aviation blogger, Keith Ledgerwood, commented that the plane was dropped from radar because it was behind a Singaporean aircraft flying parallel to it. Later lost direction and the aircraft entered the airspace of India or Afghanistan. Later the plane may have landed in Xinjiang, Kyrgyzstan or Turkmenistan. Professor Hugh Griffiths, a radar expert at University College London, commented that Keith Ledgerwood's theory has credibility.

6. The plane may have been hijacked in Pakistan

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch commented on Twitter that the plane did not crash, it hijacked an uninhabited area in northern Pakistan. But Pakistan has completely rejected such fears from the beginning.

7. The plane may go to Langkawi Island

The aircraft may also catch fire. And so to save the passengers, the pilot diverted from Beijing and made an emergency landing on Langkawi Island in the Andaman Sea. Aviation blogger Chris Goodfellow has theorized. However, there has been a lot of controversy about this blogger's theory.

8. Could be the work of a major terrorist group

It is believed that the plane could be hijacked by a large terrorist group to carry out brutal terrorist activities like 9-11 in the United States. It is also possible that the plane after being hijacked landed naturally and was hidden somewhere.
