One individual claims to have witnessed a Boeing 777, with 239 passengers onboard, on fire in the sky.
The enigma dates back to 8 March 2014 when Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, marking it as the most perplexing and deadliest unresolved incident in aviation history.
In 2014, a worker on a New Zealand oil rig, Mike McKay, raised concerns about what he believed was MH370 engulfed in flames. McKay, 57, stated that he spotted a burning aircraft at a high altitude while on a break at the Songa Mercur oil rig off the coast of Vietnam.
In an email to his superiors, McKay detailed the sighting, mentioning, “I believe I saw the Malaysian Airlines flight come down.” He added observations about the plane’s movement and location.
The leaked email caused McKay to feel embarrassed, but he emphasized that the focus should be on the families affected by the flight’s disappearance rather than his own credibility. He raised questions about the flight’s path and the handling of the investigation.
Following McKay’s report, Vietnamese authorities launched search efforts for the missing aircraft. Recent search operations by Ocean Infinity were paused in April but have since resumed as the search for MH370 continues.
Ismail Hammad, Chief Engineer at Egyptair, has proposed a new perspective on the mystery of MH370, arguing that the condition of the plane debris found does not align with the time it spent in saltwater.
