MH370 News: Plane Could Still Be Intact on Indian Ocean Floor, Says Satellite Expert
The mystery of Flight 370 continues to baffle officials, a year after the plane disappeared. One expert thinks the plane could still be intact at the bottom of the Indian Ocean.
"I believe that when the aircraft went out of fuel, it glided downwards and landed on the water with a soft impact, that's why I believe the plane is still largely intact," said Zaaim Redha Abdul Rahman, a Malaysian satellite communication expert, according to the Daily Mail.
Rahman also believes the plane may have glided onto the surface of the ocean and was afloat for a while before sinking.
Recently, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau found airplane debris at the bottom of the Indian Ocean but concluded it wasn't a part of Flight 370.
According to the International Business Times, more plane debris was found on the island of the Maldives. Police in the Maldives responded to reports of airplane debris found on the shorelines of the island. It is not known if the debris is linked to Flight 370. This comes on the heels of the discovery of a flaperon was found on the island of Reunion on July 29. Malaysian officials concluded the flaperon was a part of MH370 last week.
MH370 disappeared without a trace on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board. The plane flew out of Kuala Lumpur International Airport and was heading to Beijing, China. The families of MH370 recently rejected the Malaysian claims the flaperon is a part of the doomed flight. Many people wanted "conclusive" proof it was indeed part of MH370.
Search officials are expected to search the Indian Ocean in the coming days. The flaperon is the only concrete evidence that is linked to Flight 370. No other debris has been confirmed to be a part of the missing plane.
