The Malaysia Airlines Plane Found Lie

By Ines Flores


News of the finding of Malaysia Air Boeing 777 that disappeared in 2014 has been revealed as a hoax. The fake tweets, images and videos titled Malaysia airlines plane found are part of a marketing campaign to direct traffic to a particular site. The images capture ships sailing in an ocean but not involved in the actual search.

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.

It is the absence of information that has increased speculation about the finding of this Dream Liner. Reports indicate that it was found in water as debris. Other sources point at remote islands in either Indian Ocean or Mediterranean Sea as the site of crush. However, none of these leads have borne fruits.

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.

The dodgy affiliate marketing scheme takes advantage of unending curiosity surrounding the disappearance of the Dream Liner. Through the clicks as people search for the video, the site owners earn millions. Beyond the clicks and surveys, they have pages where you are required to enter you phone number. This will lead to a subscription to a very expensive text message service. You will never find the video but will help the marketers to make a lot of money.

It has puzzled many that 239 passengers would disappear in a highly sophisticated plane for months without trace. All the technology available in the world has never managed to solve this mystery. Over a dozen countries are in the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea but nothing has come out of the search.

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.
