The MH370 Malaysia Airlines flight perfectly dropped the plane into the sea (CGI rendering of what the accident may have looked like, right), entombing it and the 239 passengers aboard at the bottom of the ocean, according to a flight expert, ten years after it vanished. Simon Hardy (bottom right) of the United Kingdom has reported that the plane was sunk into the ocean at a location that has never been searched before. On March 8, 2014, the Boeing 777 jet disappeared from radar while en route from Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. According to satellite reports, the plane deviated from its flight path to crash into the southern Indian Ocean, where it is thought to have crashed. Pilot Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah (bottom left), 53, was suspected of deliberately crashing MH370 in a murder-suicide of a shocking magnitude, which he committed because of personal issues.

Last-minute changes to the doomed MH370 flight that crashed ten years ago today have been published, according to an expert who claims the plane's captain (pictured inset) deliberately crashed in a shocking mass murder-suicide. An extra 3,000 kilograms of fuel was added to the plane before liftoff, as well as additional - unrequired - oxygen delivered solely to the cockpit, according to the plane's flight plan. Simon Hardy, a Boeing 777 pilot, said the latest information might have shown that MH370 captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah planned the abduction, which continues to baffle experts.

MH370, a plane carrying 239 people, blasted off Malaysian radar screens ten years ago, sparking one of the world's biggest aviation mysteries that has never been figured out to this date. Despite the biggest search in aviation history, which found 46,332 square miles of the southern Indian Ocean's sea floor, only a few fragments of the Boeing 777-200ER plane, scattered on beaches thousands of miles apart. In January 2017, the operation was suspended. The families of those who were lost to the abyss have long hoped that by finding the missing plane, authorities would finally be able to give them an answer to the question that has haunted them for a decade: What happened to their loved ones? MailOnline looks back on the MH370 tragedy as they commemorate ten years since their loved ones were missing.

On the tenth anniversary of the plane's disappearance, a retired British engineer believes he will SOLVE the mystery of doomed MH370 with 'one more look.'

Richard Godfrey, who worked with Boeing and Nasa before retiring, claims he has found the plane's course with greater precision than ever before thanks to radio waves. On March 8, 2014, a Boeing 777 aircraft vanished from radar while carrying 239 passengers from Malaysia's capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Following extensive multinational searches into the South Indian Ocean, where the plane is believed to have crashed, the plane disappeared without a trace, and victims' families are still searching for answers. Debrise found along the African coast and islands in the Indian Ocean in the ensuing years was found washed up along the African coast and on islands. In a recent BBC documentary, Mr Godfrey, who has made it his life's work, claimed that the flight will only need one more look and we will find MH370.'

MARK ALMOND: We've failed a test of vulnerability in the West's defences, but we've failed it

MARK ALMOND: At Sandhurst, Colonial history is no longer taught to young British officers. And most American military planners would not have heard of the desperate battle to save an outpost called Rorke's Drift in the Zulu Empire. However, the Victorian battle in 1879, as well as the 1964 film Zulu that was based on it, have a vital lesson for Allied forces today facing Islamist militias in flashpoints throughout the Middle East. The Zulu chief sends a group of warriors on a suicide mission at Rorke's Drift - men armed with assegais or traditional spears are shot down by volleys of rifle fire.

What you need to hear about skiplagging, the airline's little travel loophole, HATE

www.dailymail.co.uk, July 12, 2023
Travelers are increasingly reliant on a crafty money-saving tactic called'skiplagging,' after sky-high vacation costs.' Vacationers book a flight with a layover, which is actually their intended destination, and then skip the connecting journey. Any advocates claim that it has saved them more than $1,000 on a trip. So it's no surprise that the aviation industry is fighting back. After finding he had attempted to'skiplag' his flight, American Airlines detained a teenage boy at an airport. In 2018, German airline Lufthansa attempted to sue a passenger who had attempted to use the hack. In the meantime, Southwest Airlines also filed a failed case against 'Skiplagged,' a website that promotes the best deals.'
