Since March 8, 2014, the mystery surrounding the disappearance of flight MH370 between Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) and Beijing (China) remains unsolved. So much so that on the occasion of the ninth anniversary of the events, Netflix dedicated a three-episode documentary series to the subject: “MH370: The plane that disappeared.”
The relatives of the victims, journalists and specialists on the subject analyze the unclear circumstances of the tragedy that caused the alleged death of 239 people and expose the various theories that arose after the search ceased in 2018. To date, no information is known. The official cause of the accident has not been presented by the Malaysian or international authorities, despite the discovery of some parts of the plane off the coast of Réunion or in Mozambique.
“Purely Hollywood settings”
However, it is the presentation on an equal footing of all the topics that has provoked reactions since the premiere of the documentary last Wednesday.
“The unfortunate thing is that Netflix has advanced and supported all the theories that are very clearly fanciful with purely Hollywood scenarios, without ever explaining why these scenarios are not possible,” Xavier Tytelman, an aeronautics and defense consultant, told the BFMTV microphone.
According to the expert, the theory according to which the plane’s trajectory would have been diverted directly from inside the plane by the Russian services to crash in Kazakhstan is scientifically false, but the documentary does not mention it. “The method that would have been used to define the plane’s trajectory was invented after the accident,” he noted.
The same goes for the theory of a US missile off Vietnam: “We have plenty of sources to prove to us that the plane was able to keep flying for eight hours” and therefore disappear further south.
The investigation is still open in France
France is the latest international country still investigating the disappearance of the Malaysia Airlines flight. It is authorized to do so because four Frenchmen disappeared more than nine years ago.
Among them are the wife and two children of Ghislain Wattrelos, who testified in the documentary series. In front of the BFMTV microphone on Sunday, he pins his last hopes of establishing the truth about the circumstances of the tragedy in this investigation. “I’ve always had hope, but hope is low,” he admitted.
