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 disappearance of the Dream Liner on 8th March 2014 on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport shocked the world. On board were 239 passengers on a scheduled flight. It lost contact almost an hour after takeoff and disappeared from tracking two minutes later. The aircraft remained within the Malaysian radar for close to an hour before disappearing completely.

Search and rescue missions have been carried out over an expansive area since it disappeared. They involve helicopters, ships, jets, boats and hundreds of sea specialists. Tracking technology from different nations has been deployed without success.

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.

No one has seen the video despite sharing the links on social media. You are taken through numerous marketing surveys in an attempt to view the video. Surprisingly, even the image used does not belong to the jet that disappeared. They are of US Airways Flight 1549. It crashed in Hudson River, New York back in 2009 January.

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.

The whereabouts of 239 passengers aboard the commercial flight remains a puzzle. The jet is also said to have been among the most advanced in the market. Despite availability of advanced technology, nothing has been found yet. Dozens of countries have been combing the Indian Ocean with no success.

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.
