00:00What do you mean, we lost a huge Boeing 777?
00:04Flight 370, Malaysian Airlines, disappeared without a trace.
00:08Ladies and gentlemen, we are extremely saddened by this morning.
00:12It is an unprecedented case of plane disappearance.
00:16Due to a lack of findings, the investigators are considering a number of convincing versions.
00:20A fire could have affected the electronics.
00:24The possibility of a fire could have caused a fire.
00:28The possibility of a hijack could have caused a hijack.
00:32If it's a mechanical malfunction, we need to fix it.
00:36Experts are carefully examining the available information.
00:40One thing you learn is that you need to take everything into account.
00:44A shocking explanation of the disaster is waiting for them.
00:48It's going to be very hard to say, yes, we've fixed it.
00:52It's not going to happen again.
00:56The investigation of the plane crash.
01:00A special edition.
01:04The program is based on official documents and expert assessments of the available findings.
01:08The international airport of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
01:12What happened to Malaysian Flight 370?
01:16Flight 370, Malaysian Airlines, finished preparations for the flight.
01:20The plane was about to take off.
01:24Flight 370, Malaysian Airlines, finished preparations for the night flight to Beijing.
01:32Could you fasten your seat belt?
01:36On March 8, 2014, there were 227 passengers on board.
01:40152 of them were Chinese citizens.
01:44They returned home by flight Malaysian 370 at night.
01:48Fuel pumps?
01:52In the cockpit?
01:56Check.
02:00The pilot, who flew Malaysian Airlines for 33 years.
02:04The second pilot, Farik Abdul Hamid.
02:08Flaps?
02:12He didn't have such experience.
02:16We're ready to go.
02:20Good.
02:24The process of taking off on any passenger aircraft requires a lot of attention.
02:28John Nance, a retired military and civilian aviation pilot,
02:32is a world-renowned flight safety expert.
02:36For this reason, in all countries, and initially in the United States,
02:40a decision was made many years ago
02:44Malaysia 370, runway 32R, cleared for takeoff.
02:4832R, cleared for takeoff. Malaysian 370, thank you.
02:52You can say we're ready.
02:56Flight attendants, please take your seats and fasten your seat belts.
03:00At midnight, Flight 370 was ready for takeoff.
03:04Okay, let's go.
03:08During takeoff, the pilots followed the speed.
03:12Turn.
03:16Rotate.
03:20It looks like the takeoff was as usual.
03:24While the aircraft was gaining altitude,
03:28the dispatcher was directing the crew to the Igari runway.
03:32Malaysia 370, right turn to Igari.
03:36Okay, turn to Igari.
03:40Malaysia 370, thank you.
03:44777 is one of the most automated aircraft in the world.
03:48Pilots can simply set the coordinates of the runway on the on-board computer.
03:52Igari is entering. Please confirm.
03:56Flying a big aircraft like 777,
04:00you don't need a rudder.
04:04All you need is a mouse and a mouse pad.
04:08You can do it with your mouse and a mouse pad.
04:12All you need is a mouse and a mouse pad.
04:16All you need is a mouse and a mouse pad.
04:20Flight 370 was supposed to fly along the air route
04:24that leads to the northwest via the Yangtze River
04:28and reaches Beijing.
04:32After the take-off, the crew reached cruising altitude of 10,600 meters.
04:37When you get a big aircraft like that on a cruising altitude,
04:40you put it on autopilot, you run your cruise, you check your flight plan,
04:44you just have to take off your seatbelt and have a little rest.
04:49The pilots' task was to keep an eye on the autopilot until the landing time came.
04:55The dispatchers in Kuala Lumpur had to keep an eye on the aircraft
04:58while it was in the airspace of Malaysia.
05:01About 20 minutes.
05:05When the Boeing crosses the Siamese Gulf, it will be handed over to the Vietnamese dispatchers.
05:16The dispatcher in Kuala Lumpur contacted him for the last time at 1.19 a.m.
05:233-7-0, work with Hashemin.
05:261-2-0, good night.
05:28Good night, Malaysia 3-7-0.
05:32When we found out what the pilots were saying, Malaysia 370,
05:35everything was perfectly normal,
05:37absolutely normal,
05:38just what our pilots and flight controllers say to each other.
05:44The crew was supposed to contact the Vietnamese dispatchers within a minute.
05:48But 19 minutes had passed, and there was not a word from flight 370.
05:55Malaysia 370, this is Hashemin.
05:57Please contact me.
05:58Malaysia 370, the Vietnamese and Malaysian dispatchers
06:02desperately tried to contact the flight.
06:05Malaysia 370, do you read me?
06:09Malaysia 370, this is Kuala Lumpur.
06:11Please contact me.
06:13Malaysia 370, do you read me?
06:15Malaysia 370, do you read me?
06:17Kuala Lumpur, do you read me?
06:21There was no response from the pilots,
06:23and there was no plane on the radar.
06:28Flight 370 has disappeared without a trace.
06:33It is unprecedented.
06:35The plane disappeared under such a radar cover,
06:40and remained unnoticed.
06:42Malcolm Brenner, one of the leading world experts
06:45on the investigation of the cause of the plane crash.
06:49He studied the behavior of the pilots for NASA and the US Air Force,
06:53as well as investigated dozens of major accidents
06:55for the Security Council on Transport.
06:59This accident has caught the attention of the world
07:02that I have not seen in 40 years of aviation.
07:07We expected that this flight would become the main mystery
07:10in the history of civil aviation,
07:12and in the history of flights as a whole.
07:15Usually, Amelia Earhart takes the first place.
07:18In my opinion, this case has clouded her.
07:20Ladies and gentlemen, journalists,
07:23we are deeply saddened
07:26this morning with the news of the MH370 flight.
07:32The shocked relatives demanded answers from the airline.
07:37And experts around the world were trying to explain
07:40what could have happened to the missing flight.
07:43In that situation, there were many different versions,
07:46including the loss of navigation, smoke, fire, pin collision,
07:49everything.
07:51It was extremely important for the aviation industry
07:55to know why this plane disappeared.
07:57If it's a mechanical problem, it needs to be corrected.
08:00If it's a security breach, it needs to be corrected.
08:03If there's something wrong with the cargo,
08:06whatever the issue was, it needs to be corrected.
08:09The Malaysian authorities immediately began
08:12to investigate the details of the MH370 flight.
08:15Soon, Australia, the United States, and China joined them.
08:18In the first couple of days, we didn't know what to think,
08:21except that we couldn't find the plane.
08:24It was difficult to decide where to look for it.
08:27The MH370 flight disappeared over the Siamese Gulf,
08:30where the radar coverage zone is small.
08:36The radar system covers about 10% of the Earth's surface.
08:39You can imagine,
08:41except for ships, oceans, there are no radars.
08:44So you haven't been able to observe the ocean
08:47for much of the Earth's surface.
08:51The ships in that area didn't report about the plane on the radar,
08:54and no debris was found anywhere on the water.
09:01Desperately hoping to save those who could survive,
09:04the searchers turned to another technology.
09:07It's called ACARS.
09:10It's an address-to-report system for aviation communications.
09:16ACARS transmits data between ground controls
09:19and the planes in the sky via satellites.
09:24Chris McLaughlin is the vice-president of Inmarsat,
09:27which is in charge of the satellite network.
09:32It's a primary form of communication
09:35between the air traffic controllers,
09:38and the air traffic controllers in the air.
09:42The ACARS system was created only for communication,
09:45not for tracking the planes.
09:48Because why would you need it if you're already communicating with the crew?
09:51Unlike the global positioning system,
09:54ACARS does not constantly transmit data about the location,
09:57but provides significant aircraft indicators,
10:00and among them, most importantly, the amount of fuel.
10:03It was used to determine how far the plane could fly.
10:07But until then, no one knew where it was flying.
10:10There was little use for it.
10:13The area of search exceeded 250,000 square kilometers.
10:18The element that I think surprised me the most was,
10:21what do you mean, we don't know where the plane is?
10:24What do you mean we lost a huge Boeing 777?
10:27This is not the first case of plane disappearance.
10:30In 2009, Air France 447 disappeared over the Atlantic Ocean.
10:37Although the debris was found on the water the next day,
10:40it took almost two years to find the sunken fuselage.
10:44Leopold Sartorius, chief investigator in that operation.
10:49In the case of the Malaysian flight,
10:52the area of search was at least 3-4 times higher
10:55than the area of search for the Air France 447,
10:58although it was also quite huge.
11:01French investigators concluded that the Air France 447
11:04had made a number of incredible mistakes,
11:07which led to the crash.
11:10They would not be able to draw such a conclusion
11:13if they did not get the on-board data from the bottom of the ocean.
11:16What do you say, what do we do?
11:19I don't know, it's going down.
11:22We had much more information than the investigators
11:25in the case of the Malaysian Boeing today.
11:29But even with all that we had,
11:32it was very difficult to draw conclusions
11:35without getting the on-board data from the bottom of the ocean.
11:39It was impossible to lose time in the search for the Air France 470.
11:43The ocean currents could already take the black boxes
11:46or, even worse, sink them into the Ile d'Azur.
11:54When the Malaysian police studied the passenger manifest,
11:57they found a disturbing fact.
12:00Two passengers got on board illegally.
12:03At the very beginning of the case,
12:06it was found that there were passengers with passports on board,
12:09which were listed in Interpol's database as stolen.
12:17The possibility of the Air France 470 not crashing
12:20suddenly appeared.
12:23Maybe the plane was somehow captured by the criminals?
12:26I began to have hope.
12:29Since the wreckage was nowhere to be seen,
12:32maybe the plane was not only hijacked,
12:35but the passengers were also taken prisoner.
12:38Maybe 200 or so prisoners would be returned to their homeland
12:41if the criminals' demands were fulfilled.
12:44There was no better hope.
12:48Malaysia, 3.7.0
12:533.7.0, this is Hashemin. 129, good night.
12:58Good night. Malaysia, 3.7.0.
13:01After the terrorist acts of September 11, 2001,
13:04it is extremely difficult to hijack a plane.
13:07Would you like some coffee?
13:09No, thank you.
13:11But it is possible.
13:14One thing you have to remember in any investigation
13:17is you rule out everything.
13:27If the commander or the second pilot needs to go to the toilet,
13:30he will come out of the cockpit.
13:33Tom Fuentes can reason about how the hijack could have happened.
13:37He served in the FBI for 29 years.
13:40So all the security measures in the world
13:43will not matter if the pilot leaves the cockpit.
14:03Take me to the cockpit or I will kill her.
14:06Okay, just don't shoot.
14:10What do you want? Open the cockpit.
14:13Now, okay.
14:43Boeing 767 flew from Addis Ababa to Cote d'Ivoire
14:46when three young Ethiopians broke into the cockpit.
14:49Get out.
14:52Get out!
14:55Fly to Australia.
14:57What?
14:59Fly to Australia.
15:01We don't have enough fuel to get to Australia.
15:04We have a bomb.
15:06If you don't do what we tell you to do,
15:09we will blow up the plane.
15:12Fuel only for two hours.
15:15The criminals didn't believe the commander
15:18that the 767 would run out of fuel.
15:21Three hours later, Boeing fell into the water
15:24at a speed of more than 370 km per hour.
15:27Out of 175 people on board, 125 died.
15:30Including all the hijackers.
15:33Did the criminal really break into the cockpit?
15:36Everything is calm.
15:39I'm entering the cockpit.
15:42I'm going to the cockpit.
15:46I'm going to the cockpit.
15:49I'm going to the cockpit.
15:52I'm going to the cockpit.
15:55All is calm.
15:58I'm entering the heading.
16:01I'm entering the heading.
16:04I'm entering the heading.
16:07I'm entering the heading.
16:10I thought it's very likely
16:13that if the plane turned around,
16:16it could crash into the jungles of Malaysia
16:19or Indonesia.
16:22from, you know, the fire that could be found,
16:24it would be very easy for a plane to crash in the jungle and be found.
16:31Special services all over the world were looking for clues in the radar data.
16:35And on March 11, ladies and gentlemen,
16:39three days after the disappearance of the Boeing,
16:41the Malaysian military published the radar data.
16:44It seems that they were supporting the capture version.
16:48Three minutes after the last connection,
16:51the plane made a sharp U-turn.
16:55The moment that it appeared that the Boeing had shifted to the left
16:58immediately after the last radio call with their dispatcher,
17:01there was a possibility of a hijacking.
17:06Fly this plane to us immediately!
17:08This version seemed even more convincing
17:10when photos from the last flight of Farid Hamid
17:12suggested that he was not always securely locking the cabin.
17:17If you got a bunch of people who are, so to speak,
17:21inclined to break the rules and let people into the cabin
17:24just because they want to,
17:26they can open the door to anybody.
17:28It might be a pretty girl,
17:30but she's got a comrade and a gun in her purse.
17:33Maybe they only had a small weapon,
17:36or they were pretending to be armed.
17:40Now they can get in the cabin,
17:42and, you know, they have everything they need.
17:46Fly this plane to Australia.
17:49Kill him!
17:54Excuse me, this is BBC.
17:56You were talking to your relatives.
17:58Excuse me, sir.
18:00In the news, there were rumors
18:02about a possible hijacking
18:04surrounding the disappearance of flight 370.
18:07But according to the avian experts,
18:09something is not right in this version.
18:11I just need to check my data, all right?
18:14Hurry up.
18:18The pilots have a few ways
18:20to send a distress signal.
18:22Hurry up.
18:23Okay, just calm down.
18:25Entering the heading.
18:27You can say something on the radio.
18:29There are emergency frequencies.
18:31You can put it on the ACARS.
18:33You've got a code that you can enter
18:35into the transponder,
18:37and it will immediately transmit to the whole world
18:39the aviation that you're being hijacked.
18:41They refer to that as squawking.
18:44That would go back to the flight controller
18:46and the airline and say,
18:48this is a hijacked code.
19:05They certainly had no links to terrorism.
19:08No one on board
19:10had any links to terrorist groups.
19:13We're talking about thousands of people.
19:15They were studied,
19:17they were questioned,
19:19they were questioned by their relatives.
19:21And I think the society
19:23should at least understand
19:25that this was a very,
19:27very extensive investigation.
19:30370, work with Hashimin.
19:32129, good night.
19:35Good night.
19:37Malaysia 370.
19:39The version of an armed hijack
19:41was no longer possible,
19:43and the authorities switched
19:45to other leads,
19:47including the last moment of the flight.
19:49Two minutes after the negotiations
19:51with the flight controller,
19:53the transponder of Flight 370
19:55turned off.
19:57The transponder transmitted to the flight controller
19:59such data as the flight number
20:01and coordinates.
20:03Without this signal,
20:06what is even more alarming
20:08is that in a few minutes
20:10after the signal of the transponder
20:12the signal of the ACARS system disappeared.
20:14Turning off the transponder
20:16is a pretty simple thing
20:18even on such a complex plane
20:20as Flight 777.
20:22Turning off an ACARS is not so easy.
20:24You need good knowledge.
20:26It is difficult to imagine
20:28a typical malfunction
20:30that would fail both systems.
20:32Most likely, the answer lies
20:35in the air.
20:37There are only two things left
20:39to happen in the partial.
20:41The first one was done on purpose,
20:43and the other is a serious accident.
20:45Please don't get up.
20:47Breathe.
20:49The system refuses.
20:51A fire on board
20:53is one of the worst disasters
20:55that can happen to a crew.
20:57The transponder is dead.
20:59And I've got an error on the hydraulics.
21:01The fire can damage
21:03many systems,
21:05including electronic ones.
21:07Now ACARS.
21:09Sometimes masks.
21:11Unexpectedly.
21:17A fire such as that
21:19could affect the electronics
21:21and presumably you could lose
21:23the pilots and the instruments.
21:25In November 1987
21:27Boeing 747 of the UAV
21:29was flying to Johannesburg.
21:32The fire started
21:34in the cargo hold
21:36on the main deck
21:38behind the passengers.
21:40When the crew got there,
21:42the fire was raging.
21:52Check the shield.
21:54The commander
21:56started an emergency descent.
21:59Mauritius.
22:01This is Springbok 295.
22:03Springbok 295.
22:05Mauritius. Good morning.
22:07Good morning. We've got smoke on board.
22:09We're doing an emergency descent
22:11to echelon 1-5.
22:13The thick smoke
22:15filled the cabin.
22:17The commander's main instruments
22:19lost power.
22:21The electronics failed.
22:23Nothing is working on the plane.
22:25The 747 didn't return home.
22:29159 people died
22:31when it fell into the Indian Ocean.
22:35A cargo report
22:37from the Malaysian flight 370
22:39showed that it was carrying
22:41a potentially dangerous cargo.
22:43220 kilograms of
22:45easily ignited lithium-ion batteries.
22:47Is it possible
22:49that they started the fire?
22:53Maybe the weight of the batteries
22:55exceeded the standards
22:57or maybe they were neglected,
22:59loaded too much,
23:01and maybe put the batteries
23:03in the wrong cargo area
23:05where the fire extinguisher
23:07was weaker than it was supposed to be.
23:09We've got a fire on board.
23:11This is Malaysian flight 370.
23:13We have a fire on board.
23:19We'll see it again.
23:21An unexpected fire
23:23may explain the failure of the instruments
23:26Turn around.
23:28Head back to the airport.
23:30Turning left.
23:32Course 240.
23:34Maybe they changed the course
23:36to prepare for an emergency landing.
23:38The crews do have oxygen.
23:40In case of fire or smoke,
23:42they put on masks first.
23:44They'll have oxygen
23:46at least for an hour.
23:48So there is a possibility.
23:50But the fire version
23:52is from the Indian Ocean.
23:55I doubt the fire.
23:57And the main problem
23:59is that the pilots
24:01didn't get in touch.
24:03The alarm in the cargo compartment
24:05would have worked
24:07before the fire got stronger.
24:09The first thing I'll do
24:11is put on an oxygen mask.
24:13I'll make sure the other pilot
24:15puts on his own.
24:17We're going to declare a disaster.
24:19We're going to turn around
24:21and look for the nearest airport.
24:23In London,
24:25a small group of Inmarsat engineers
24:27made an amazing discovery.
24:29The team began looking
24:31for this case on Sunday
24:33and couldn't believe
24:35what they found.
24:37After their discovery,
24:39the mysterious events
24:41on board the flight 370
24:43appeared in a new world of anxiety.
24:45The Inmarsat engineers
24:47made an incredible discovery.
24:49They found a series
24:52of automatic signals
24:54of so-called handshakes
24:56that had been coming from Boeing
24:58for a long time
25:00when it was supposed to crash.
25:02The network and a separate node
25:04were exchanged
25:06by an invisible handshake
25:08or ping request.
25:10The ACARS computer on the plane
25:12responded to automatic requests
25:14from the Inmarsat ground station
25:16every hour from 2.25 a.m.
25:18to 8.19 a.m.
25:21It looked for minutes
25:23up to the moment
25:25the first signal
25:27after the plane had fallen
25:29off the radar system.
25:39What changed everything
25:41for me and everybody else
25:43was the Inmarsat satellite data.
25:45They said,
25:47wait a minute,
25:50if Boeing was flying for 7 hours,
25:52it's almost impossible
25:54to believe the fire.
25:56If the plane is covered by fire,
25:58it can't fly for that many hours.
26:00The flight time
26:02corresponds to the previous
26:04ACARS data on the fuel consumption.
26:06Boeing had enough fuel
26:08for a 7-hour autopilot flight.
26:12But nobody knows
26:14what was happening on board at that time.
26:16We know
26:18that it went in a certain direction.
26:20We know that it went thousands of miles
26:22per hour for 7 hours.
26:24But we don't know
26:26if anybody was alive on board.
26:28If all the fuel was in the tanks,
26:30the two engines
26:32would switch off one after the other.
26:34Boeing 777 would go into a stop
26:36and fall into the water.
26:40The new version
26:42is surprisingly similar
26:44to another mysterious case.
26:47In August 2005,
26:49the Borgelius 522
26:51was flying from Cyprus to Athens.
26:57Operator, this is flight 522.
26:59Over.
27:01Flight 522.
27:03What can I do for you?
27:05We have a tic-toc message
27:07about the take-off configuration.
27:11The oxygen masks
27:13suddenly fell out of the cabin.
27:16The pilots did not see the reason for the alarm.
27:18Then the flight was silent.
27:24In an hour and a half,
27:26the Greek Air Force sent two fighters
27:28for reconnaissance.
27:30They noticed that someone
27:32was sitting in the seat of the second pilot,
27:34leaning over the devices,
27:36but the commander was not visible.
27:38The center of the Gelius 522 cabin
27:40is one person.
27:42It looks like he is unconscious.
27:46The pilots saw
27:48that someone was moving in the cabin,
27:50and suddenly the Boeing turned
27:52and quickly went down.
27:56The plane continued to fall,
27:58and the person in the cabin
28:00finally gave the sign to the fighter,
28:02but did not say anything.
28:06Minutes later,
28:08the Gelius 522
28:10crashed to the ground.
28:12The Gelius 522 crash investigation
28:14revealed that the previous crew
28:16reported freezing
28:18of the rear service door.
28:20The technician who studied the problem
28:22conducted tests
28:24for which it was necessary
28:26to change the sealing control
28:28from automatic mode to manual.
28:30But he did not switch back.
28:34When the Boeing took off again,
28:36the auto-sealing did not work
28:38and the oxygen level began to fall.
28:42Hypoxia can lead to headaches,
28:44confusion,
28:46loss of memory,
28:48shortness of breath.
28:50It is difficult to understand
28:52what is happening
28:54and what is especially scary about hypoxia.
28:56I warn all pilots about it.
28:58When it comes,
29:00you do not recognize it.
29:02When the pressure in the cabin
29:04dropped too low,
29:06the passengers received masks,
29:08but they gave oxygen
29:11only for 12 minutes.
29:15Slowly, losing oxygen,
29:17the passengers and the crew
29:19plunged into sleep.
29:21Everyone on board was unconscious
29:23except for the flight attendant
29:25who found a supply of oxygen.
29:29When the flight attendant
29:31reached the cabin,
29:33the oxygen ran out.
29:35He could not save the plane.
29:41Put on your masks.
29:43Put on your masks.
29:45Maybe on the flight 370
29:47there was a sealing
29:49and he flew a few hours
29:51on autopilot
29:53like Helios 522.
29:55Usually the plane
29:57spends almost the entire flight
29:59on autopilot.
30:01If both pilots
30:03could not control the plane anymore,
30:05the autopilot would do
30:07everything necessary
30:10to save the plane.
30:12The Malaysian Boeing
30:14flew at an altitude of 10,000 meters
30:16higher than Everest.
30:18And without oxygen
30:20at such a height
30:22you wait 30-60 seconds
30:24of adequate consciousness.
30:28The report of the Australian
30:30Bureau of Transportation
30:32helped narrow the search area.
30:34It turned out that the straight
30:36and straight path of the Boeing
30:38But judging by some alarming details,
30:40on board the flight 370
30:42something bad happened.
30:44I'll be right back.
30:46Yes, thank you.
30:48Even before hypoxia
30:50could start.
30:52Hypoxia and disorientation
30:54do not agree with the plane's turns.
30:56To put them into the computer,
30:58this cannot be imagined
31:00even in the wildest imagination.
31:02A careful analysis of the data
31:04showed that flight 370
31:07made three turns
31:09within an hour and a half
31:11from the last connection.
31:15First, a turn to the left.
31:17Then two more
31:19to the west and south
31:21towards Antarctica.
31:23According to Malcolm Brenner,
31:25such maneuvers indicate
31:27that someone in the cockpit
31:29deliberately directed the plane
31:31in the wrong direction.
31:33Theoretically, it is possible
31:36that someone in the cockpit
31:38could have turned the plane
31:40while trying to capture it
31:42or use it for some purpose.
31:44It would be possible
31:46to turn off the pressurization
31:48and repeat what happened
31:50with Helios.
31:52The main question is
31:54who made these mysterious turns
31:56and why?
31:58Flight 370,
32:00contact Hoshimin.
32:02129, good night.
32:04Malaysia 370.
32:06Investigators tried to explain
32:08three mysterious turns
32:10that flight 370 made
32:12from the last connection
32:14with the dispatcher.
32:16That's weird.
32:18Transponder just failed.
32:20Anything else?
32:22Hang on.
32:24Do you always want to have
32:26an open mind?
32:28Catastrophic failures
32:30can happen.
32:33If the pilot system
32:35and the plane system
32:37failed at the same time,
32:39it could lead the pilots
32:41into confusion.
32:43It's not working.
32:45Should I reboot it?
32:47Yeah. Hang on.
32:49Let me take a look.
32:51Is that our altitude?
32:53Damn it!
32:55Hooray, hooray!
32:57Holy fuck!
32:59But given all the facts,
33:02the scenario won't stand the test.
33:08Boeing 777
33:10has a lot of spare systems.
33:12To make the plane fall,
33:14they all have to fail,
33:16which is very unlikely.
33:18The whole watch principle
33:20is to let the planes
33:22watch the work
33:24and make sure everything
33:26is backed up.
33:28Even backup copies.
33:30It just doesn't seem to fit
33:32the fact that we know
33:34about the flight.
33:46Two different systems
33:48failed at the same time,
33:50transponder and play cars.
33:52The only purpose
33:54of these systems
33:56is to communicate with the ground
33:59without any technical reason
34:01why they failed at the same time.
34:03The only reason
34:05is human involvement.
34:09Everything comes down
34:11to the reaction
34:13by someone for some reason.
34:15If the Boeing 777
34:17was deliberately crashed,
34:19it won't be the first time
34:21in civil aviation.
34:23There are six accidents
34:25in different countries
34:28in several cases
34:30they were impulsive.
34:32In two cases,
34:34although they were having
34:36psychiatric problems,
34:38they deliberately wanted
34:40to hide the fact
34:42that they were going
34:44to commit a crime.
34:46The American investigators
34:48made such a scandalous conclusion
34:50after the tragic crash
34:52of the Silk Air 185.
34:54We'll have lunch soon.
34:56December 19, 1997
34:58Boeing 737 was flying
35:00from Jakarta to Singapore.
35:02Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
35:04This is the commander of the aircraft
35:06Tsu Wai Ming.
35:08And in the cabin with me
35:10today is the second pilot,
35:12Duncan Ward.
35:14A few minutes after the scheduled
35:16contact with the Indonesian dispatchers,
35:18the plane suddenly tilted
35:20and went into a steep peak.
35:26Passengers and crew died.
35:28During the search,
35:30we found a flight data recorder
35:32and a speech recorder.
35:34We are ready.
35:38But the device was turned off
35:40before the fatal peak of Boeing.
35:44Water?
35:48Investigators found out
35:50that the ship's commander,
35:52Tsu Wai Ming,
35:55owed more than $1 million
35:57and was due to return
35:59to Singapore.
36:07Although Indonesian investigators
36:09do not agree,
36:11their American colleagues
36:13believe that most likely
36:15the commander turned off the recorder
36:17and sent the plane to the peak,
36:19killing 97 passengers
36:21and 7 crew members.
36:25Malaysia 370.
36:27I follow the 3-5-0 echelon.
36:29Some experts believe
36:31that the 370 flight
36:33was also deliberately crashed.
36:35In my opinion,
36:37someone did it.
36:39I think the pilot,
36:41one of the two people
36:43in the cabin
36:45entrusted with the safety of the plane
36:47or someone else,
36:49we do not know.
36:51At an altitude of 10,000 meters.
36:54Malaysia 370
36:56could find a reason
36:58for the second pilot
37:00to leave the cabin.
37:02I am now.
37:06The captain of the ship
37:08has power.
37:10He is appointed to control the plane
37:12and can, for various reasons,
37:14send the second pilot
37:16to the cabin,
37:18but not vice versa.
37:20So of the two of them,
37:22can I get a coffee for the captain?
37:26Being left alone in the cabin,
37:28he could easily turn off the transponder
37:30and direct the plane
37:32where there were almost no radio locators.
37:44Hey!
37:46Come in there!
37:48Captain!
37:51You all right in there?
37:57You can't turn off the handshakes
37:59on Inmarsat
38:01without getting
38:03into the electronics
38:05of the plane.
38:07That's just something
38:09that people wouldn't know
38:11how to do.
38:13Captain!
38:15Open the door!
38:18The hard door.
38:20No one else is coming in.
38:22Good man or bad man.
38:24If a good guy is in there,
38:26he has a gate of a path in there.
38:28If a bad guy is in there,
38:30he never sees anything.
38:38Open the door!
38:44As far as communication
38:46with the ground is concerned,
38:48you're almost never
38:50going to get a phone call.
38:52Hey!
38:54Captain, open the door!
38:56And there really isn't a method
38:58to just pick up the phone
39:00and just call the ground
39:02and you're pretty much
39:04on the ground.
39:06Captain!
39:08Open the door!
39:10The pressure in the cabin
39:12can be regulated by hand.
39:15But at the same time
39:17you can get rid of the others
39:19on board.
39:21Hey!
39:23You all right?
39:25That's one consideration
39:27to just neutralize
39:29one or two crew members.
39:31Captain!
39:39Anyone who does not have oxygen
39:41is in danger.
39:45Good job, guys.
39:55Passengers are wearing a mask
39:57and have to wait
39:5912 minutes
40:01in order to get the oxygen.
40:03The flight的話
40:06will be cancelled
40:08shortly the next hour.
40:10The plane over the next hour
40:12makes several more turns
40:14So the appearance is that this is a well-thought-out attempt to evade detection.
40:26You know, I feel very strongly that, given everything we know or think we know,
40:30we always have to make the assumption that whoever did this intended for a plane to just simply dash from the face of the Earth.
40:40Between the two pilots, the captain and the second officer,
40:44the third officer was an energetic, young pilot who was just getting ready to get married.
40:49There are absolutely no evidence that he was a religious fanatic or somebody who wanted to kill everybody on board.
40:56But if you turn to the captain, there are no words there either.
41:10Brenner thinks the hint might give us a case of what happened in 1994.
41:15For me, the clearest model is the FEDEX case.
41:18The only reason we know about that is because the attack was a failure.
41:22The board engineer, FEDEX, risking being fired for lying, got on board a DC-10 with a gun.
41:29He had a history of being a very smart person.
41:32He was an engineer. He was a good Air Force engineer.
41:35He had a history of psychiatry.
41:38Soon after the takeoff, he broke into the cockpit, decided to kill the pilots and crash the plane.
41:45He almost did it.
41:47After a fierce battle, the crew managed to defeat the enemy and land the plane.
41:53Malaysia Airlines
41:57It's possible that Malaysia Airlines was one of the few airlines
42:02where mentally ill pilots deliberately decided to crash a civilian plane.
42:08You can have someone who, even if they have a psychological disorder,
42:12is still able to cold-bloodedly and detailedly calculate how to carry out their crazy plan.
42:19It's possible to commit this kind of mistake.
42:22So, I'm sorry to say it can happen.
42:25The difficulty for investigators and airlines is that it's almost impossible to predict human mistakes.
42:34If we're dealing with human beings, we're dealing with imperfections.
42:38Of course, we can and should better study the signs of a person who might do this.
42:43But it's very difficult.
42:45Yes, we fixed everything. It will never happen again.
42:49It's possible that we'll never find out what exactly happened on board of flight 370.
43:06But probably, we've already learned the most important lesson from this tragedy.
43:11In my opinion, one lesson is obvious.
43:13We need to know all the time where the planes are.
43:16And it's very easy and not expensive to do this.
43:18You just need to equip the Global Positioning Transmitter system,
43:22which is usually already on the plane,
43:25and set it up to send coordinates every 5-10 minutes,
43:29and make sure that no one on board can turn it off.
43:32Perhaps, first of all, we'll see how some airlines decide,
43:36we're going to track the planes.
43:39This will be a plus for ticket sales.
43:42Perhaps, the US Aviation Administration will simply mandate it.
43:46The whole world has an interest in what's going on,
43:49and wants us to find out what happened,
43:51and not allow it to happen again.
