A man claims to have witnessed the renowned Boeing 777, with 239 passengers onboard, engulfed in flames while in the air.
The enigma surrounding Malaysia Airlines flight 370, which disappeared on 8 March 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, has persisted for over a decade, standing as one of aviation’s most perplexing and deadliest unresolved incidents.
In 2014, a New Zealand oil rig worker named Mike McKay found himself unemployed after reporting a sighting he believed to be MH370 ablaze. While on break at the Songa Mercur oil rig off Vietnam’s coast, McKay, aged 57, stated that he observed a burning aircraft at a high altitude.
In an email to his superiors, McKay detailed his observation of the plane burning at a high altitude in a specific compass bearing. Despite the leaked email revealing his workplace, McKay expressed his concern for the families of those onboard the flight and emphasized the confidential nature of his initial report.
Following McKay’s report, Vietnamese authorities dispatched aircraft to search for the missing plane. Subsequent search efforts by marine robotics company Ocean Infinity were temporarily suspended due to seasonal factors but have since resumed.
Furthermore, Ismail Hammad, Chief Engineer at Egyptair, has put forward a theory aiming to resolve the mystery surrounding the missing MH370 aircraft. Hammad raised doubts about the condition of the plane’s debris found in the ocean, suggesting inconsistencies that could potentially expedite the search efforts and provide closure to the long-standing mystery.
