News about airplane accidents has always been heartbreaking news. However, what is even more confusing is when the plane disappears without a trace. The fate of the passengers and crew on duty cannot be ascertained. The following is a list of 5 of the most mysterious cases of missing planes that made the world excited
Amelia Earhart
Maybe this name doesn't sound familiar anymore. Amelia Earhart is a figure in flight history. He managed to break many records, one of which was the first woman to successfully sail the Atlantis Ocean by flying a plane alone. In 1937, Earhart disappeared over the Pacific Ocean.
The mystery of Amelia Earhart's disappearance raises several possibilities, including the possibility of the plane being destroyed and falling into the sea, Earhart being captured by Japanese soldiers, or forgery of death initiated by Earhart himself. Until now, this mystery is still unsolved.
Star Tiger
On January 30, 1948 in the morning, an American plane, the Star Tiger, disappeared between Santa Maria, America and Bermuda. When it disappeared, the plane carried 31 passengers and crew. The disappearance of this plane was considered strange because the aircraft was flown by two very experienced pilots. The pilots are used to facing strong winds, rain, and low air pressure in the experience of flying their planes.
Allegedly, what caused the loss of this aircraft was the sudden strong winds that caused the plane to fall into the sea. There were no emergency calls or fragments of aircraft that could explain the loss of this plane.
Indian Air Force aircraft
Flying in the Bay of Bengal on July 22, 2016, the plane belonging to the Indian Air Force disappeared. This aircraft carried 23 passengers and 6 crew. Searching for this aircraft is the largest in Indian search history. 16 ships, a submarine and 6 aircraft were deployed to search for this aircraft. Unfortunately, on September 15, this search was stopped and all passengers and crew were declared dead.
N844AA
The disappearance case of this plane is practically unique compared to other aircraft. On 25 May 2003, a Boeing 727 type aircraft named N844AA was stolen from Quatro de Fevereiro airport in Angola. In the afternoon, 2 people, namely Ben Padilla, an American pilot, and John Mutantu, a mechanic, stole the plane. They flew the plane without permission. This aircraft glides on the plane's track without any communication with the airport at all.
Since then, two men along with the N844AA have never been seen again. The loss of this aircraft was investigated globally by the FBI and the CIA. Unfortunately, the plane and its passengers leave no trace at all.
MH370
The mystery of the flight loss of MH370 is the latest, biggest, and most problematic. In March 2014, MH370 flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. 227 passengers and 12 crew boarded this plane. The search for MH370 is the most expensive in the world, spending 130 to 160 million USD. These aircraft flakes were found scattered on several islands. However, the wreckage and wreckage was never found.
Direct communication with the pilot disappeared at 1:19 a.m. Strangely, the aircraft can still signal automatically 7 hours later, which is at 8:10 a.m. There is a lot of suspicion about the causes of MH370's loss, such as electricity problems, aircraft component problems, pressure loss, or fuel depletion.
In addition, there are many conspiracies regarding the disappearance of this aircraft. Some people suggested that the Malaysian government hid the cause of the disappearance of MH370, until the American government interfered.
