The Malaysia Airlines Plane Found Hoax

By Ines Flores


The events of March 8th 2014 that saw Malaysia Air Flight 370 disappear have puzzled the world almost a year on. Nothing has been found on sea or on land despite the involvement of sophisticated technology, thousands of personnel and several nations in a comprehensive search. The Malaysia Airlines Plane Found hoax thrives on this vacuum. It shows images of wreckage on water that does not even belong to the said flight.

The Dream Liner jet disappeared on March 8th after taking off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport headed for Beijing in China. It was an international passenger scheduled flight. The last contact was made over South China Sea, about an hour after take off. Two minutes later, the flight disappeared from tracking. It remained visible on the Malaysian radar for about an hour before it got off the limits.

The largest rescue mission in recent years was mounted to cover a speculative large sea area. This has seen jets, planes, ships, submarines and thousands of personnel comb through the suspected area. Specialists in sea affairs have also been called in to assist the crews.

Speculation about the sighting of the wreckage is fueled by lack of any information after months of search. The reports use images to show debris on water. Other areas that are cited in these reports include remote islands in the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean. All these reports are false.

The most common is the claim that a sailor has received five million for sighting it during a fishing expedition. This is based on a reward that seeks to lure whistle blowers to reveal the information to relatives and families of the passengers. The report directs you to a link with a video that is to be viewed after sharing the link on your social media platforms. As it turned out, it was a well orchestrated marketing scheme.

Despite sharing the link on social media, it is difficult to view the video. A series of marketing surveys follows before you eventually land on some images. It is frustrating to realize that the images are not even of Malaysian Air. They belong to US Airways Flight 1549 which crashed in January 2009 in Hudson River, New York.

Affiliate marketers are making millions by luring curious internet users into a video that does not exist. They earn by the clicks into their sites as well as surveys that you conduct in an attempt to activate the video. In other pages, your phone number is required. It is used in mobile subscription and marketing services that earn the marketers more money.

A total of 239 passengers perished in this crash. The fact that it was a highly sophisticate jet raises questions about why it remains difficult to trace it. It is believed to have crashed in the Indian Ocean or Mediterranean Sea after changing flight path. Over a dozen countries have been searching for debris for a year but nothing has been found.

There are conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of the dream liner. They point at countries, aviation authorities and individuals around the world. This has forced families to lure whistle blowers with five million dollars in an attempt to reveal what really happened. The world is waiting to know what transpired after Flight 370 left Kuala Lumpur International Airport for Beijing on the fateful Saturday.
