Missing aircraft. Mysterious cases

Our world is filled with a variety of secrets andriddles that no science can explain yet. Despite the development of civilization, in many ways we still do not understand all the laws of the Universe and therefore often come up with inexplicable and sometimes even mystical facts of the existence of otherworldly forces. And some anomalies began to occur precisely when a person learned to fly, or to be more precise, then launched the first plane into the sky. There are many mysterious facts associated with these wonders of technology, and some of the cases in which the missing aircraft appear are presented in this article.

Malaysia Airlines MH370

A lot of attention at one time attracted the plane,which disappeared while flying Malaysia Airlines MH370. Millions of people from around the world have been following this event. March 8, 2014 flight departed from the Malaysian airport, located in Kuala Lumpur, and was supposed to go to Beijing. It was about 300 passengers and crew members, and so far no one is able to answer what happened to this flight.

Having flown approximately 220 kilometers from the coastcountries, the plane was gone from a radar. This happened about an hour later, as the car rose into the air. The missing plane Malaysia-Beijing is still looking for, but so far no fragments, no traces of passengers or crew have been found.

Amelia Earhart

One of the most famous mysterious incidents inThe history of aviation is considered an event that occurred in 1937. Then an American named Amelia Earhart set off in her two-seater monoplane, called the Electra, on a trip over the Pacific Ocean. She flew around the island of Howland to fly around the world and disappeared. This woman was very famous, because the first of the fair sex decided to overcome the distance over the Atlantic Ocean.

Many researchers are still trying to find outthe fate of the girl. There are a lot of theories on this subject, and not all of them look believable. For many years, people tried to find evidence of her wreck or cunning, but so far neither the wreckage of her aircraft, nor herself has been found. To date, this case - one of the mysteries called "Secrets of the missing aircraft." Authorities declared her dead two years after the incident. But still some historians believe that she is alive.

The Mystery of the Bermuda Triangle

Самым таинственным и загадочным местом на the planet is considered the territory, which is called the Bermuda Triangle. This is quite a big space between Bermuda, Florida and Puerto Rico. It was in this area that the most mysterious disappearances occurred, not only of aircraft, but also of ships. One of the most notorious cases where there are missing aircraft occurred on December 5, 1945. It is believed that from that moment began the whole mystification of this place. Then the torpedo bombers training mission was held. Five airplanes flew from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, with an experienced instructor.

One and a half hours after the start of the mission, the pilotscontacted the dispatcher, reporting a loss of a landmark. They could not understand where they were, and the area they saw was not like the one they were to observe. The pilots also mentioned that their compasses are not working and are completely out of order. There were noticeable deterioration of the weather, and since the coast was not visible, the pilots decided to land on the water surface. After that, neither the missing planes nor their crews were found. Even more mystical was the fact that one of the planes, which was sent to find five torpedo bombers, also disappeared without a trace.

Star Dust and the mysterious Morse code

Back in August 1947, the company British SouthAmerican Airways sent its Star Dust from Argentina to Chile. Departure took place from Buenos Aires and the plane was supposed to land in the city of Santiago. But the flight never reached the destination. Before the plane disappeared in the Andes Mountains, the pilot managed to send a message, which later caused more questions than it could be. Using the Morse code, the radio operator sent a strange message "STENDEC", which has not yet been solved.

Внимание к этому летательному аппарату было special, because after his loss was able to learn more about the passengers. There were six and four crew members. But who they were is worthy of a true conspiracy theory. On board were:

• two businessmen who decided to make a tour and find new customers;
• a strict Englishman, a courier in the British Embassy, ​​there is a theory that he was transporting secret documents;
• a German woman who decided to return home after losing her husband, and most likely she was a criminal during the war;
• a Palestinian, according to some, carrying a diamond in the lining of his jacket;
• representative of a tire company, its sales agent, formerly a mentor to one of the European monarchs.

These citizens and the strange, mysterious message caused a real storm in the press, because with this in mind, you can create many theories and hoaxes.

Solving the missing Star Dust

The mystery of this event was revealed only in 2000year, when several climbers accidentally found a piece of aircraft engine. And when the expedition went there, they were able to establish the cause of the plane’s loss. Apparently, the pilot, carrying out his calculations, was mistaken with their position and, having decided that they had already flown over the mountains, began to decline. The aircraft hull is not able to withstand for a long time at high altitude, so due to pressure, the radio operator could have confused attention, and his message could mean a “drop” command. And when the plane crashed into the mountains, it provoked an avalanche that hid the aircraft from prying eyes for half a century.

The mystery of flight 191

This is not about one thing, but about severalincidents where the link is the flight number. It is believed that the crash of American Airlines flight 191 is one of the most terrible incidents in US aviation history. After just a couple of minutes after takeoff, the plane on which there were a little less than 300 people crashed at the Chicago airfield.

Also in 1967 there was another casethe experimental plane with flight 191 crashed, taking with it the life of a pilot. And in 2012, the crew of flight 191 JetBlue Airways had a real panic attack, which had to restrain passengers. Based on this data, many airlines have decided to exclude this flight number from their flight schedules.

Flight mystery 914

Наверное, одной из самых спорных легенд в авиации An unidentified riddle, Flight 914, is considered. Many skeptics claim that this is a duck, a fiction of the yellow press. But in reality there is neither a confirmation nor a worthy refutation of this story.

In 1955, the DC-4 flew fromNew York to Miami. On board were 57 passengers and a crew of pilots. There is evidence that the same aircraft appeared on the runway of one of the airports in Venezuela. According to some information, there is information that the pilot of the ghost flight contacted the airport workers and there is a record of their conversation.

The sign that something was wrong was that onthe runway began to land a rather old-fashioned plane that was not visible on the radar. After establishing a connection between the pilot and the airport, we managed to find out what the flight was and how many passengers were on board. The pilot's voice was rather confused and scared. The dispatcher said where the plane was located, and after that there was silence. And it is not surprising, because the distance between the point of initial destination and this airport is very large. When the communication was informed about the difference in time, the pilots got scared and flew away. As the ground crew approached them, one of the pilots was waving a folder with them, from which a small 1955 calendar flew out. It is believed that case data Flight 914 is partially classified.

This is not all cases of missing aircraft.Many countries are featured in materials marked "lost the plane." Indonesia is among them. In fact, anything can happen in the sky. You can find stories that have a plane missing on March 8, and many others. Scientists have been developing theories for years regarding the influence of the earth’s magnetic field and space-time discontinuities. One thing is clear, as soon as the first aircraft took off into the air, quite small objects began to disappear. And many of them are quite under strange circumstances.
