Flight MH370 crashed very quickly after engine failure

Australian defense researchers, after analyzing signals from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, revealed that the plane fell very quickly before crashing into the Indian Ocean off the coast of western Australia, reported THX on August 9.

Data analysis and manufacturer simulations show that the Boeing 777, flight number MH370, appeared to have lost engine power before falling from a height at a speed of up to 20,000 feet per minute (6,096 km per minute) on March 8, 2014.

Normally, an aircraft attempting a conventional landing, or a forced landing on water, would descend at a speed of about 2,000 feet per minute. This has cast doubt on previous speculation that the missing MH370 “landed” intact on the water before exploding.

Data analysis has supported the theory that MH370 fell out of the sky and did not glide to a final, emergency landing site in the Indian Ocean.

According to Mr. Greg Hood, a senior official of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), the agency coordinating the search for the plane, data analysis of the signal is understood to mean that MH370 appears to have crashed in the 120,000km2 search area that is being scoured by Australian authorities.

If the initial assumption that MH370 had glided to a final landing site was followed, the plane could have crashed outside the current search area.
