Ten years ago, a Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 mysteriously vanished from radar screens, leaving many with questions about what happened.
This mystery has haunted the families of the 239 people on board and captured global attention.
But, in a surprising twist, recently unearthed flight documents reveal details about what happened before the aircraft disappeared.
The Boeing 777’s systems added extra fuel and oxygen shortly before it departed from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.
The new details raise more questions and appear to lend support to theories suggesting deliberate actions may have led to the plane’s disappearance.
The documents, dating back to March 2014, reveal that additional oxygen was reserved exclusively for the cockpit, not the cabin crew or passengers.
Pilot and MH370 analyst Simon Hardy pointed out the oddity of this last-minute addition.
He told The Sun: “It’s an incredible coincidence just before this aircraft disappears forever… the last engineering task done before it headed off to oblivion was topping up crew oxygen, which is only for the cockpit.”
More fuel was added than usual, along with the oxygen, possibly extending the plane’s range, although its purpose remains unclear.
Hardy speculated that this decision could indicate premeditated intent, potentially supporting one of the more chilling theories surrounding the incident—that the pilot, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, might have deliberately downed the plane in an act of mass murder-suicide.
Though unproven, this theory is strengthened by these new revelations that align with patterns seen in similar tragic events.
Flight MH370 departed Kuala Lumpur just after midnight on March 8, 2014, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members aboard.
The flight appeared normal for the first 40 minutes, but communications were suddenly cut off just after entering Vietnamese airspace, and MH370 vanished from radar.
Despite years of intensive search efforts across the Indian Ocean and other regions, no significant trace of the aircraft has been located, aside from minor debris found along the African coastline and the western Indian Ocean.
