It's disappointing how we could find habitable exoplanets, and ice on planets trillions of kms away..yet we can't find a plane that's gone missing over our waters.
true, so weird how this works
@@akka8588 because its easier
@@akka8588 Its a lot easier to photograph Pluto because we know exactly where its at. This plane is like finding a needle in a haystack. A massive haystack, that cant be explored without huge struggles. Also its pitch black down there.
@@poey8824 okay fair enough, it's just so frustrating though when we can do all of this other stuff yet can't find things like this when we actually need to find them so we can try and prevent another event like this. Edit: Okay after some feedback, me getting my frustration out, and thinking logically, I understand why it's so difficult to locate missing aircraft in open waters.
Over 400kph I don’t think anything is left it disintegrated
When I flew from Dubai to Perth and the plane left the Arabian peninsula all I could see was ocean, I fell asleep and woke up and we were still flying over the ocean. I saw a tiny speck floating in the ocean and then quickly realised it was one of those massive oil tankers but I could hardly see it. The vastness of the ocean is immense.
..and it's a scary realization how far above the water (or land) you are flying. I've flown many of those long flights from the middle east over the vast ocean and it makes me feel like a speck of dust.
Great
I am from one of the Indean ocean island..Mauritius
Actually there is plenty of land mass on the Dubai - Perth route. There is south Asia, the Malay Peninsula, the Indonesian archipelago and then mainland Australia.
@@sowmitriswamy6718 yes, and it's still very very far down to the surface of the earth. Be it land or water.
Spending five years in the Navy I realized just how big the ocean is. I've sailed the Atlantic and Indian Ocean and they're huge. It's a miracle that they found the Titanic due to the vastness of the ocean.
Before the Titanic sank it sent out it's exact coordinates. That helps...
@anonymous yes that helped but it still took 73 years to find it.
To find MH 370 with less military or government support it will take longer then should may be even by accident it will be found but with all the technology then and now it will very likely be found one day maybe within the next 10 year's never know
@@danmulholland1634 Ocean ifinity may start a research in summer or next year
@@hititman1524did they say something like that
Why is no one talking about Blaine Gibson? Dude is considered an amateur and was the only one to actually start finding debris. Hats off to him!
That’s right
He's highly sus, tbh
The plane landed somewhere someone wanted to, cover it up by making a scapegoat, break some part of the plane and put it there as a evidence of plane debris that it wrecked into the ocean. It wasn't missing, but concealed, the information was shown only what they wanted to show, it's being controlled. That's why some people wasn't convinced that it couldn't be found, we're in 2024! Either found it or "they" concealed it.
I've been following this since the day it happened. I know most of us are mostly just curious because this is the biggest aviation mystery of all time, but just a reminder of how tragic and sad this incident is. When the footage of the families wailing and crying come on, it absolutely breaks my heart. I cannot imagine being the family members in this. 230 families, 10 years later, not having any closure whatsoever.
@@quake3video ?????
Many important scientist on board. They all died
@@quake3video It has been nine years.
I completely agree. My heart aches for those family members. This is such a tragedy. After nine years the loss is still felt.
@@quake3video yeah. Thanks for the answer to a question no one asked.
This is way better than Netflix's documentary about this tragedy. It's informative, very articulated, and based on facts and scientific research. Whereas Netflix's is more of a show than a documentary, it was heavily based on theories and speculations.
Yeah, I didn't enjoy the netflix doc at all, too many theories of conspiracy
Netflix focus more on conspiracy theories. This one makes more sense.
absolutely agree
That mad theory that Russians hijacked the plane made me want to turn that documentary off, it was such a ridiculous theory
That is all we have to go by is theories and speculations, since we have no idea what happened. I think the Netflix one was OK
In March 2014, on a Sunday morning between 5:00 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., several people spotted a flying object from a distance in different locations in Eastern Mizoram, Northeast India. They then saw the object fall from the sky. Although they spoke out about it, no one seemed concerned. On the same day, in the evening, the Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 incident was reported. While the world was searching for the plane at the bottom of the ocean, it's possible that the incident actually occurred in the region of Mizoram State, India, and the Myanmar border region.
Someone found parts of plane I believe on seashore of island near Madagascar. Moreover if your theory is true, the plane wreckage should have caused fire where it crashed
The fact they left so many people with unanswered questions makes the loss so much more heartbreaking
I have an average sized one
Plus their sh1tty govt
Its still mind blowing to me that almost 10 years later we still havent found that airplane.... Shows you how incredibly large the open ocean really is ..... *EDIT* Thanks for the likes !
They didn't know where it flew to, just a general remote area. No coordinates to go to the location where this plane finally landed. It would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
imagine space wrecks in space, it'd be even harder to find a wreck
@@YourLocalDemocracy.Officer perish that though, sounds like a nightmare, lol.
Yes. The oceans are large. But also what exactly they are looking for? It's not likely that plane is in one piece or any large pieces. The plane could be smashed into relatively smaller pieces, then transported over a large area by ocean currents. There could be no wreckage to be found.
@@kevinmalone3210 It's probably quite easy to find a needle in a haystack. Use a large magnet.
This incident has always intrigued me. I still remember where I was when I first heard the news about MH 370. I hope one day that we will find this wreck so the families can have closure.
Same! I was in 3rd grade when it occurred! Now in 12th!
@@LilJollyJoker are you Indian?
human error?
I was having my bachelors thesis when I heard this news. I really hope the families get closure someday!!!!!!!!!!!
@@piyushkanthak1087 Why?
What's more overwhelming is other countries joining to contribute to give a hand together to find the airplane. Thank you very much we're very appreciate it.
This was one of the rare occasions when I was proud of the Australian government which spent a fortune and three years trying to find this plane (I'm not sure what the Malaysian government did to help find their missing plane and citizens). Interesting documentary. One day, I hope the families will get closure. Meanwhile, I wouldn't fly with that airline if they paid me.
exactly, wasted money on stupid misinfo.
I thought the Malaysian Government and MAS’s insurance was reimbursing us for it…
Susan, why didnt the over the horizon radar at Exmouth Australia not pick up the plane, that is very strange, but then again it is an American base.
The MH 370 disappearance still gives me the chills. I have been following up with the latest findings since a decade. This incident gives me the terrifying vibes whenever I travel by air especially over the ocean. My prayers for the victims and their families 😢😢😢

Me too I think if we use our new technologys mahbe we can find Mh 370
Same, I watched and will watch every single episode of any thing they have on this! I remember that day so well.
and rightfully so, it's the greatest aviation mystery ever. i've watched like 100s of documentary on this and never get tired of it once . it truly is a mystery
IDK if you are aware of another big airplane that went missing in the 20 th century, the only difference is that it was a cargo plane. It was never found, just like MH 370, so maybe we can say that we have a precedent and thus this is not the greatest aviation mistery?@@Zooom88
No mystery. The pilot was aiming for US Navy base in Diego Garcia. US Shot it down. But.... US killing 200+ civilians sounds ugly. So the charade of the 'search'.
thank you natgeo for not sensationalizing the tragedy. so many other "documentaries" and videos on the subject never go into the full detail of the search and always focus on some crazy conspiracy theory

Nothing strange about it, only its absence.. Clearly the pilot for whatever reason flew into the middle of nowhere on a suicide mission.. I'm sure many in the Malaysian government or military know exactly his motives but choose to remain silent..
@@dannicatzer305 that does seem the most likely cause, still..... Also I'm skeptical of grand conspiracy ideas, especially without evidence.

Disturbing!
Likey we will find the remains of the plane one day I mean we are advancing in so many ways we have so much radars amd waya to track stuff it's not even funny were even almost ready to cure infertility (IVG) and bring back the Mammoth and he's been extinct for thousands of years I can't wait to see what the next 20 year's will be like
I believe it was shot down over that "secret air base" near the Maldives,but who 's to say!
Many hundreds of planes lost were never found.
The best documentary on this incident yet. The narration is clear and exciting at the same time. Thanks to NGC for providing these for free. *Edit: It marks today, 10 years on 8th March, 2024. My prayers to the family of the people* 🙏🙏🙏
NatGeo has years of experience on making air crashes investigation. They always make the best documentary. I wish NatGeo stays for a long time.
I’ve followed this since the start. I hope people don’t stop till it’s found out what happened to the best of our ability. Those families deserve answers.
the ocean draining simulations are so awesome
It's so tragic but this documentary is so good. We often never get to know what happens in the aftermath of a tragedy like this. News cycles get on so fast that we barely have time to fully comprehend the magnitude of an event like this. Major kudos to all the crew and people that have worked tirelessly to find the plane. I hope they find it and the families get some closure. Well done also to National Geographic for this documentary.
Why were some countries unwilling to speak about this tragic plane. It breaks my heart for the families and loved ones who have endured so much from this. I think we all can agree that something is being withheld from all of us.
“Theories will stay as theories until they find the plane and the black box” - I keep hearing people say this and it’s heartbreaking that we have to keep carrying on the word but it’s unfortunately true. From theories of the pilot, to aliens, to it being shot down; we must never take our or others lives for granted. A life can be taken within seconds and majority of those lives never got a proper good bye or farewell. RIP to the victims💔🕊️
To say the malaysian military is grossly negligent for not responding to a foreign flying object on its military radar, is an understatement.
absolutely ... Najib & his henchmen possess definite answers ... as well he fleeced the Malaysia people of millions - still he walks free in arrogance with defiance ... what kind of sham democracy is this ???
They were loading their squirt guns that day.
They didn't scramble the jets because they knew exactly what was going on. If you watch more videos you'll learn what the MG knew when it was actually happening.

This is one of the best documentaries I have watched on MH370. I love the scientific and technological side more so than the drama, even though that’s interesting too. This episode put A LOT MORE INTO PROSPECTIVE! That plane was definitely flown into the ocean so it could take forever to be found! It will be found as technology, time and effort progresses! RIP TO THE VICTIMS & MY HEART GOES TO THE FAMILIES 💔
AMEN 🙏 ❤️
National Geographic produces the best documentary’s! They are thorough with scientific and technological info and experts! I suggest watching more of them! They are truly fascinating! RIP to the victims and families of MH370!
So much better than the Netflix docuseries!!
i just wanna know what caused the plane to turn around and go all the way south to the indian ocean
Have you watched Lemmino's? His is top notch, far less budget than NatGeo but done like it
*I really love watching this type of documentary*
Just brilliant. Simply the most informative with the current technologies for ocean hunt in an uncharted area. Drain the ocean simulation with the support of satellite radar data on ocean waves mapping sub surface terrain is just mind boggling. About MH 370, the French military satellite finds and images on debris are certainly an exciting lead, but exhausted. A really well made documentary, without any frill and flab, with only raw data.
To me its amazing how old and antiquated the black box tech still is. Something so important should be made to make itself much easier to find.
I agree. Very primitive to me. Especially for hearing pilot conversations. They should never be allowed to turn those off from the plane. Seems the black box would be back up. We should never need a black box for cockpit conversations.
@@bethanywhite877 yes this should be resolved right away and made to where the black box cannot be messed with in any way. I’d like to know why they allow them to turn them off at all.
@@littlebanshee I wonder why Boeing didn't want to fund new project and concept of storing flight information and cockpit recordings, like uploading the data on the internet and will always be refreshed and active to store information 24/7. Storing information on a physical box that has high potential to be lost in time like BlackBox is old tech and outdated. They need to directly connect airplane data into the internet via satellite transfer, clouding computing, and servers across nearby countries.
I remember helping with the online volunteers combing through satellite photos of so much ocean trying to find signs wreckage or the life vests/escape slides/rafts. Hope it is found one day so these families can have some closure ❤️

@@Goodzillla1066 exactly
@@Goodzillla1066 That's such a fascinating thought 🤔.
@@Goodzillla1066 they probably can BUT not at the resolution needed to see something as small as plane
@@nmstranger No satellite can see through 4.000m of ocean depth. The plane wreckage is in pieces on the ocean floor, not elevated enough to have any effect on the water & to be spotted from space.
Somehow it is good to know that people went out to look for the plane and the victims, for a long time, over and over again. They weren't just brushed off and disregarded. People cared.
The fact that the sensitive hydrophones off the west coast of Australia picked up a far distant "geological event" but not the sound of a jet liner smashing into the sea, along with the absence of a wide debris field implies the aircraft was traveling very slowly and essentially "landed" on the water.
The wing of the plane they found proves that is not the case. The plane wasn't configured for a ditching. The aeleron would have been extended and it wasn't. They found 30 pieces of plane on the opposite side of the ocean. The plane wing was configured for regular flight. They couldn't have slowed it down enough to get close to the water or land softly.
The loud bang they found actually could have been the plane but since it was so far from the location they chose to search they decided it was likely a volcanic event underwater but they never actually proved it, or researched it. They shrugged it off but with where they found wreckage way out close to where that sound came from, it makes me think it was the plane. Malaysia doesn't want that plane found because it makes their captain and crew look bad and they won't acknowledge it.
@@melissacoxen6001 that's a possible theory, however 1 thing people need to consider is ocean currents & drifts, the first piece of debris of MH370 was not found until over 1 year after the crash. During that 1 year period there would've been alot of ocean currents and geological changes which would have carried the debris across the Indian ocean to the other side of the search area. So it's still possible that the plane crashed exactly where or near the search area was, and the debris were simply carried or drifted over to the other side of the Indian ocean by currents over time.
I was curious to know if they compared the location of that sound with ocean drift patters since there was no debris found in western Australia.
I said it before and will say it again. Some people know much more than we do.
Definitely agree.
It will be the US,I bet
I pray that one day the plane be found. It's terribly painful not knowing where your loved ones are. It leaves one without closure. May God bless their souls.
Thank you for this video that focuses on factual leads and investigation rather than speculation. A pity that after all the enormous efforts spent, the plane still wasn't found.
the most important question to aircraft industries, why the flight transponder and gps system is allowed to have option ( to on /to off)? if this option is not allowed, i think we would have found the exact location of the aircraft without any difficulty. Perhaps the answer itself.
Rest in peace to all of the victims of the crash

stop the cap
The greatest mystery regarding this incident isn't even so much where it is, but why it happened to begin with. I imagine finding the airplane will be somewhat closure for all the victim's families, but I don't know if we will ever figure out conclusively why the pilot(s) deviated to fly into the middle of nowhere and pretty much intentionally making it very difficult to find the aircraft. It's all just very bizarre. I suppose the black box might reveal something, but that's assuming it can be retrieved and it wasn't destroyed.
Or that it even has readable information anymore. :( Which is very, very unlikely, given that it has already been 10 years. Even Air France 447's blackboxes were read out by pure luck. Don't even want to fathom what 10 years in deep water might do to the data.
The FDR and CVR unfortunately only record the last 2hrs of any incident (Of a flight that started 2 OR more hours before), according to Boeing regarding MH370 (which seems pretty archaic since the plane was built in 2002 and by then digital voice recorders were plentiful, reliable and cheap for a 24hr recorder)... That would give investigators the ability to hear if anyone is moving, talking, fighting or even breathing in the cockpit on the CVR. The FDR would have any and all instrumentation data including if anyone was manually doing anything or entering any way-points/destinations.... If a catastrophic incident happened just after the hand-off from Malaysia to Vietnam airspace, there would be no recorded record of what exactly happened instrumentation wise nor would there be any voice recordings of the cockpit crew.
It was very carefully planned and i doubt the boxes would reveal anything. If everything else (almost) was shut off, they would be too.

I did not watch cartoons growing up, I used to watch documentaries on Nat geo and Discovery. And it is giving me an immense amount of pleasure to be able to watch my fav channel, uploading documentaries on youtube for foree. Thank you so much for making my childhood wonderful Nat geo.♥️
This documentary is far better than the recent Netflix offering.
It was amazing to see the terrain of two major oceans...wow and the wreckage of FR447, another crash that transfixed and terrified me. It's a disgrace that the Malaysian government announced that it will not continue searching. What an insult to injury this is to the families and humanity as a whole. We need to learn from this event. There are so many questions.
It is not an insult to injury, it is a wise decision of how to spend tax payers' money, especially in a country that certainly is not rich. Money spent to find the plane is money not available for, let us say, build or maintain an hospital, that for certain will help saving lives.
Although I’ve been on many flights, even after the disappearance of this particular aircraft, it is this mystery that has spike my flight anxiety.
My aviophobia has less to do with planes disappearing and more to do with them crashing in the first place.
@@cantfindmykeys yeah, mine is simply leaving the ground lol I have flown one as a baby and once as an adult. As an adult I never left my chair for an 8 hour flight, my anxiety was at max.

I hope that they'll resume searching again soon. Not only to bring closure to the friends and families of those lost but to learn how to prevent whatever went wrong.
But who is going to fund it? The ocean is so vast.
Anyone do research anymore? Ocean Infinity has made 2 brand new autonomous ships with new technology to find the plane on a "no find, no fee" basis. If found its gonna cost $70 million.

@@ponygirlusa Point is do some research. The search is only suspended not cancelled, to begin this year or early 2024. There are logistical and political circumstances as to why it isnt currently being searched. Maybe thats something you can find out on your own.
@@jgpacheco21 Suspended, mastermind. Suspended means not currently active. 😂
This is absolutely FASCINATING!!
I think it is fairly obvious that the Captain pilot locked the First Officer out of the cockpit, and then committed deliberate suicide, at the same time murdering everyone else on board. Even if the black boxes were found, the How and What would be answered, but not the Why. Disgusting... and So Sad for the families of the victims.
Motive?
• If the Pilot locked the cockpit at Igari, it was not possible for him to disappear off radar without turning off ACARS navigation, because the switch to it in MH370 was outside the cockpit. So either both captain and FO were involved (no theory suggests involvement of FO Hamid) or neither of them. • According to the official narrative the last contact of ATC radar was Igari and then plane changed it's course but According to Kaula Lampur ATC as shown in recording it was Bitod (they repeated 3 times)which means the plane keep travelling in the plane path towards south china sea but Malaysia covered it up and said we don't know why KL ATC said that. • It is highly unlikely that plane went through primary radar of 2 country's airspace and neither of them noticed and deployed fighter jets. • In 2016 when official narrative was getting criticism and people were calling it an international coverup, all of a sudden Inmarsat which works under british government said thier satalite caught MH370 ACARS which was turned on later on again according to official narrative and showed arcs where plane possibly could go. they again tried to save the fake narrative. • Last of all, they tried to make narrative against captain's personal life. But according to his wife and daughter he'd never do such thing. Even if you hear him talk in recordings he sound like just another day at office, he was posting youtube tutorials of DIY fixes a year ago with his family, he had no suicidal tendencies and surely not psychopathic tendencies that would make him mastermind killing over 200 people by depressureizing, fooling ATC and Airforces to travel in middle of Indian ocean to crash the plane. Official narrative was most definately an international coverup to avoid Humiliation and maybe something bigger.
@@sahazmarkk5624I remember that the military radar tracked a primary target from near the last transponder hit moving west northwest until it went out of radar range. There was a major runway on that course, I think it was Phucket, that I thought he may have been headed for, but couldn't get the airplane down. Something major happened to the plane's systems, electrical failure certainly, most of the passengers probably died onboard at some point, and the pilot(s) also eventually succumbed. Perhaps a fire and/or decompression. No one will ever know for sure. I like to think the pilot, before dying himself, set a course into the ocean to avoid casualties on the ground. It did make another left turn after being lost on primary radar.
Hats off the composer and the narrator of this programme. It was heart-wrenching. But the efforts the whole team behind the investigation was truly a massive expedition toward the mystery of our world!
I was in A&P mechanic school when this happened! Our instructor walked in the classroom and told us what happened. To this day, I remember when he told us that they probably would never find the plane. Aviation technology is a lot further than it was back in 2014. I do really hope they find this plane…but I doubt they will find an intact fuselage.
Certainly not intact, many pieces of the plane have already been found, as shown in this programme. Including pieces from inside the fuselage. What’s left is at the bottom of the ocean
May the souls of the departed Rest In Peace. I pray they find the Back Boxes in order to know the full story of what really when on.
13:48
This is not aviation technology. It is finding stuff in the sea technology.
Why did he say it would never be found? I mean obviously its true now but aren't most planes found when they crash into the sea. What did he think was different about this one?
The best documentary I ever saw on MH...may their souls rest in peace...and may one day we will have full closure for their families and loved ones...❤
The ocean is incredibly an amazing creation.
This mystery of MH370 is truly horrifying and scary to say the least . Just thinking about it gives me goosebumps. From the moment they deviate,to when they lost signal and then even flying for hrs and hrs before they finally crash in the ocean(acc to the data/theory) is just mind-blowing.
It didnt crash into the ocean but flown into the ocean😢
"Planes crash all the time they don't disappear" Soooo comforting thanks for that. This crash is truly mind baffling. RIP to all the victims of 370 tragic as heck. ❤❤
the way that oceanographer said "planes crash routinely.." was so comforting. Honestly, I wouldn't care about being found so much as not crashing.
Thanks a lot to Team National Geographic for gift us such a mysterious documentary. 🙏🙏🙏
Great documentation.. good job..
The Biggest Mystery of the Decade.. a horrific incident !! Thanks NG for the documentary 👍
Oceans are no joke. It's easier to discover planets million miles away but almost impossible to discover world oceans. 95% of oceans are still unexplored 😲 😮 😲
What oceans, there's only one planetary ocean which has been mapped extensively, just not as accessible as land usually is as human beings need special equipment to go into water for significant periods of time.
To shed light on past tragedy is important also.
This is very well made....RIP to those who lost their lives....and condolences to their loved ones
Hats off to the cameraman who went deep under water plus captured the final moments of the plane for us
Sooo funny 😁
@James Cook Your funny..... funny sad
@@lizvickers7156 I am sad. Lol
Let's also give props to the camera operator who filmed the satellite, amazing stuff
@@LavenderSunrise Oh yea..sorry my bad...equal credits to him as well for going up in a space suit and recoding for us
Me encantan este tipo de documentales. Muy interesante!
Watching this on March 8, 2024. My God, the despair all those families are suffering for 10 years. Can't imagine.
Malaysian govt never wanted that plane found. They don’t want to pay out the lawsuits, especially if they were talking to the pilot while he was in the holding pattern. They still didn’t look where the glide path would have taken it.
That's it , periodt They don't want the world to know...
absolutely ... see my comment about Najib above !!!
didn't know that so many debris of the flight were discovered in Africa Indian coastline, I hope one day the flight will be found. Rest in Peace all souls lost.
It is chilling, heart breaking & just sad that it went missing that way... Those families needed closures.
Love this documentary
For a moment I thought that this was an older video about the investigation, but seeing it was rather recent shocked me. All this time and where it is still is a mystery, I feel bad for the all the relatives, they'll never have closure about what caused their loved ones to die.
Yes, it is a rather "old" video. Not the most up to date programme on the subject anyway, even if relatively little more has been discovered since, of course.
@@frontenac5083 old? This came out 5 days ago. Are you okay?
@@michaelfarnan6253 It's from 2018. It says so at the end of the credits.
It's not a mystery. I could open Google maps and tell you where it hit within 100 miles. There simply is nothing to find.
@@NormAppleton I dare you to find it , Indiana Jones
the disappearance of a plane with 239 people still baffles me to this day.. hopefully one day the families will have some answers
1MDB fraud. Someone important was on that plane.
Something about this reminds me about that Greek airline that crashed after running out of fuel flying on autopilot after the pressurization system failed.
“It’s the greatest aviation mystery of all time” those words will never be replaced for that plane
This is a great contribution to society; these documents are so informative and mind opening. I'm glad how the families are able to see the simulation of the last minutes of the plane before landing in the water as a closure.
Hello Dau Vu, it's a great pleasure meeting you here, may God bless you and your family... How are you doing over there? And how are your business and family?
😊😊
@@timothygeorgefay1doing great. Thanks for asking, daddy
In any other country, a commercial plane detected by military in an unusual path would have fighter jets on its tail in minutes. Someone clearly knows something, a potential reason why Malaysia showed no interest in pursuing the search.
What are u talking about BUD?
@@michael-4k4000 The Malaysian government knows too well what happened to this aircraft because there is no way military radar saw an unusual craft and ignored
My sentiment too. Malaysia doesn't want to take responsibility for to have to pay out Billions
Most likely is that Malaysia is just trying to cover up incompetence in not noticing or responding to the off course flight.
Its a Relief to the family and Friends
This mystery is prompting me to search EVERY SQUARE FOOT of the 7th ark, and I will not stop until the plane is discovered. My prayers for the victims and family members. 💔
I'm so fascinated by the search efforts, and Tech used. The oceans are another world.
The photographs of the wreckage still at the bottom of the ocean were very creepy
True
There are no photographs of the plane on the bottom of the ocean (obviously) as the wreckage hasn't been fount.
@@frontenac5083 they did find wreckage stop saying bs
@@user-zv3qe6tv2v No they did not find any confirmed wreckage. The Netflix documentary has way more detail than this one. That claperon they found has a missing ID plate, something riveted or glued that would not come off during an explosion or crash. It is removed only at junkyards when dismantling a plane. Apparently there were 12 numbers on that claperon that were sent to Boeing and only one matched a 777, one out of 12. Then you have that Blaine guy, treasure hunter that based on oceanographer's suggestions goes to Mozambique and finds pieces of wreckage after walking two hours on the very first beach he went to. Just like that, you go to Mozambique, on the right, and here;s your MH370 part waiting for you. Then he goes to Madagascar and guess what ? He finds more pieces.
Wow!!!....💚 Excellent video!!!....💙 Thank you National Geographic!!!! 😊❤🧡💗💕💞💓
Its so heartbreaking after all the search all this years..we shall meet on the beatiful shore.
The only thing that makes me feel slightly more at peace is that with the significant climb it made, the cabin would have de- pressurized and the people on board would have passed out and died. The cockpit would have had a longer supply of oxygen, but would have run out again after the pressure loss. When it crashed, there is a very good chance that none of the passengers were aware of what was going on, or were already deceased. No one would have suffered or drowned.
Families of the passengers were saying they were calling and some phones were ringing just no one answered. Also a woman was receiving a call from one and when she picked up it was late it stopped (sorry my english)
@@larinadorca5781 unfortunately this seems like this isn’t possible and a result of frantic family members trying to get a hold of missing relatives. There would have been no coverage at the crash site
The fact that the plane carried on flying for 6 hours (until it ran out of fuel presumably) after it lost contact with air traffic control suggests you are probably right. Something catastrophic occurred on that plane not long after take-off. My heart goes out to everyone on board and their families - they need answers.
@@SuzyQ334 Do you think they flew in the wrong direction?
It didn’t crash.
People really don't realize how tiny an airplane is to the massive Earth and its oceans.. looking at an airplane scale model on a model of the Earth really opens your eyes and makes you realize how almost impossible it is to find something that falls into the middle of a massive ocean with no exact coordinates..
Im so emotional watching this. These pilots look countless lives. RIP to all but them.
This was fascinating and i'm so glad that we can now have 3D images of the ocean floor. I hope they'll find the wreck one day so that the familes and friends of the lost can have some closure. I was brought to tear when the one searcher mentioned the seatback TV and how it could have been the last thing a passenger saw.
that seatback TV...where, time?

@Harriet What got to me was learning about a dust covered Porsche in 'long term parking',waiting for her owner. She's not coming back. They said if she does return, they will 'wave the fee ',here's to HOPE...
@@BlueBonnie764 : Who owns the Porsche? A passenger?
Anyone considered MH17 was MH370? How about that? And check, Diego Garcia, thats where the sound recorders located the "explosion" site. There were witnesses in Maledives but all got dismissed.
'While planes crash routinely, they don't just disappear." Well that's very comforting, thank you Mr Griffin. @36:50
Imagine being able to just up and go to Mozambique to help look for airplane debris. God bless this guy he probably has enough money to do so and it’s nice of him to volunteer his time like that he really did some good.
Your videos are excellent 💙👏💙👏
When you're looking for MH370 and you find shipwrecks of lost ships but still to find those small bits of materials that's impressive
i got goosebumps when they proved the tech works finding long past wrecks, well done, gentlemen, well done
