Two Boeing 777s. Two rare aviation disasters. And one airline. This is the story of the
Malaysia Airlines co-incidences. On March 8th, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight
MH370 disappeared after taking off from Kuala Lumpur and never reaching its intended destination
of Beijing with 239 people on board. Just over four months later on July 17th,
Flight MH17 was travelling from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur and is shot down by a surface
to air missile crashing in a sparsely-populated area of Ukraine killing all 298 passengers
and crew. Pro-Russian separatists fighting with Ukrainian
forces have been blamed for downing the aircraft. The internet is snowed under with conspiracy
theory after conspiracy theory and I am going to take you through some of these today. There are
still loads of questions surrounding MH370. How can a jet of that size with world class
technology go missing when a tiny device like an iPhone can be located with an app? If the
aircraft had exploded, there would be debris in the water. If it had plummeted into the
ocean, its sophisticated technology would be sending messages to the surface. If it
had been hijacked and flown elsewhere, radar would have picked up its course. People believe
the aircraft could still be intact, others believe it landed in Diego Garcia and some even say
it was shot down by US-Thai joint strike fighters in the South China Sea and has been covered
up by the CIA. This is just one of several extraordinary
coincidences linking MH370 and MH17. A Dutch national called Cor Pan was travelling with
his girlfriend, posted this message on Facebook before he boarded MH17 at Schipol airport.
“If the plane disappears, this is what it looks like.” He was saying this of course in reference to the Malaysian
Boeing 777-200 MH370 that disappeared in March. An Australian family lost loved ones on both
MH370 and MH17. Kaylene Mann from Queensland lost her brother and his wife when MH370 vanished
She also lost her stepdaughter and stepdaughter’s husband who were on board MH17.
A Malaysian Airlines stewardess Intan Maizura Othman, lost her husband on MH370 and her
friends on MH17. A Dutch cyclist, Maarten De Jonge said his luck was inconceivable after
he escaped death, not once, but twice. Maarten was due to fly on MH370 but decided to catch
an earlier flight to get home. Astonishingly, he was also booked to fly on MH17 but switched
to a later flight to save money. In another eerie development one 15 year old
boy took a selfie with his Mum on board MH17 and posted it online before takeoff. They were
going on a holiday aimed at single parents families and were killed with 296
others on board. Here are some spooky conspiracy theories and
facts. MH17 crashed on the same date, July 17th, as the Trans World Airlines Flight 800 which
was brought down by a missile in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New York in 1996. Even
more startling, the maiden flight of MH17 was on July 17th 1997 and flew for 17 years
to the day until July 17th, 2014. Russia Today fuelled speculation that claimed
Flight 17 was flying almost the exact same path as Putin's presidential plane did less
than 40 minutes later. Putin's presidential plane bears uncannily similar red and blue
markings to those painted on all Malaysian Airlines craft.
Perhaps the most outlandish theory is that MH17 was blown up to hide the fact that it
was exactly the same plane as Flight MH370. We are never too far away when conspiracy
theories are afoot. Or was it the links between the number 7 long
associated with the Illuminati to establish New World Order. Then there were the pictures
of victim’s passports that were in such pristine condition – were these people really
on board or were these documents planted there? Or did Israel mastermind the shoot down to
divert the world’s media gaze from its assault on Gaza?
The leading theory is that Pro-Russian rebels shot down MH17 with Russian supplied missiles,
in error, believing it to be a Ukrainian military aircraft. The true facts may never be established
and while uncertainty remains, the conspiracy theories live on.
As for MH370, with no debris, no trace of survivors and nothing to investigate other
than the original flight plan, that is a mystery likely to remain for a very long time indeed.
