New Delhi: In the latest development after the crash of Malaysian Airlines flight MH 370 in 2014, the landing gear in 2017 has been discovered by researchers. The latest discovery of its debris has suggested the prime cause of the crash was the pilots’ bad intention. Notably, the flight, Boeing 777, crashed in the year 2014, claiming the life of 239 passengers.
Landing gear found in 2017
The piece of the debris — a landing gear door of the doomed Boeing 777 — was reported to be found in 2017 by a fisherman named Tataly after it washed up on the Madagascar shore due to a tropical storm.
However, the researcher discovered it just 25 days ago. The fisherman kept the gear with him for five years as he was not aware of its significance. He was also using its door as a washing board for these years.
Pilots intended to destroy aircraft
The debris of flight MH370 from the fisherman was sent to British engineers Richard Godfrey and American wreckage hunter Blaine Gibson. After studying the parts, they found that the pilots of MH370 intended to destroy the aircraft.
A report published by the experts said a high-speed dive and the extended landing gear shows a clear intent to hide the evidence of the crash soon after the crash.
It added that pilots know the landing gear during an emergency landing on ocean water will cause more damage, breaking into several pieces. Owing to this, the travellers get very less time to come out of the plane before it sink completely.
