Mysterious Plane Crashes
One of the greatest mysteries is the disappearance of Flight MH370. It went missing on March 8, 2014, traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
In March 2023, a Netflix documentary examines the human cause and the frustration of family members who can't mourn since the plane and passengers haven't been found.
Some hope their family is still alive in some location with the hijacked plane. I have a blog post about Flight 370 here.
According to the Aviation Safety Network, 84 aircraft have been declared missing since 1948. These ten flights could have a mysterious link to the same conspiracy theory.
EgyptAir Flight 990
Flight number 990 and the year 1999 raised fears as the millennium was ending. EgyptAir Flight 990 was a regularly scheduled flight from Los Angeles to Cairo, stopping at New York City.
Early that Halloween day of 1999, the plane crashed 40 miles south of Nantucket Island. All 217 people on Flight 990 were killed in the crash, and 14 only were recovered and identified.
It turned out that the 59-year-old relief Officer, Gameel Al-Batouti, crashed the plane deliberately. It wasn't because of poor weather, faulty equipment, or a collision.
Pilot suicide seemed likely because he acted by shutting off the autopilot, shutting off the engines, and turning off the fuel to the engines.
However, his behavior was suspicious and trance-like. He was talking in Arabic with a phrase meaning, "I rely on God." Muslims believe in one God and Muhammid, the messenger of God.
His first task was foreboding to a macabre agenda. Al-Batouti used his seniority and asked the other officer to step aside. He took control of the plane before it was his scheduled turn.
Then he asked the Captain to go to the lavatory before it got too busy, and he dropped the plane in a steep descent from 33,000 feet, making the cabin lose gravity.
The Captain crawled back to the cabin during weightlessness and tried to gain control of the plane.
The Captain shouted, “What have you done” as he fought to pull the plane upward. But Al-Batouti was forcibly holding his controller downward.
He remained calm and didn’t raise his voice, repeating the Arabic phrase, "I rely on God." It seems he was controlled by forces other than himself, as if possessed by an entity.
However, we learned there was an incident in the New York hotel before the flight.
Hatem Rushdy, the chief of EgyptAir's Boeing 767 pilot group, had just reprimanded Al-Batouti for sexual misconduct. He was exposing himself to teenage girls, propositioning hotel maids, and stalking female hotel guests.
On board, the doomed flight was Hatem Rushdy, the chief of EgyptAir's pilot group, who had just reprimanded Al-Batouti.
Someone overheard Chef Rushdy tell him, "This is your last flight," Al-Batouti's attitude was, 'This is the last flight for you too.'
Sources close to the investigation got the idea that Al-Batouti was a man facing ruin in the light of a series of allegations of sexual misconduct.
A high-ranking member of the US investigating team agreed that it looked more like revenge against Rushdy than a suicide.
But as I mentioned earlier, he seemed possessed by a different agenda, as he repeatedly said, "I rely on God."
Al-Batouti was calm, and murdering 216 and himself just because of sexual allegations doesn't seem logical.
My conspiracy theory makes more sense. Similar mysterious events seemed to happen on Flight MH370 in 2014.
Air France Flight 447
Flight 447 was a scheduled passenger flight from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, to Paris, France.
The pilot in control made mysterious errors forcing the plane to crash. The official report concluded that on June 1st, the Airbus A330 could not recover from the mistakes and eventually crashed into the Atlantic.
The Brazilian Navy recovered the first significant wreckage and two bodies after five days.
But the investigation and analysis for Civil Aviation Safety were hampered because the flight recorders were not recovered until May 2011, two years later.
The search ended with 74 bodies not recovered. You might wonder if they were food for the fish and sharks. But I have a logical explanation that will shock you into thinking it’s crazy.
Adam Air 547
Flight 547 was a scheduled domestic passenger flight operated by Adam Air between the Indonesian cities of Surabaya and Manado that crashed into the Makassar Strait near Polewali on New Year's Day 2007.
All 102 people on board perished, making it the deadliest aviation accident involving a Boeing 737-400. What happened to the 102 people?
The black box was found after 25 days of searching the waters of Majene.
The National Transportation Safety Commission stated that the cause of the accident was bad weather, damage to the inertial navigation system, and mysterious pilot performance.
Still, the location of Adam Air is a mystery. Only fragments of the fuselage were to be found.
What happens to planes and passengers when they go missing? You won't believe the conspiracy theories. More about that later.
TWA Flight 800
In 1996, TWA Flight 800 exploded and crashed 12 minutes after taking off from John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, killing 230 people.
After a four-year investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded defective wiring caused a spark that ignited the plane’s fuel supply.
However, that explanation contradicts the hundreds of eyewitnesses who say they saw a streak of light rise toward the plane before the fireball emerged.
The eyewitness reports caused some to believe a missile shot down the aircraft. One of the prevailing theories is that the US military mistakenly shot it during Navy training.
Other anomalies surrounding the event include claims that the FBI tampered with evidence. The official theory covers up the cause to avoid public panic.
Outside forces caused this mysterious crash. Could supernatural powers be causing these accidents?
Star Dust
Flight CS-59 Star Dust was a civilian version of the Lancaster bomber registered to British South American Airways.
In 1947, it traveled from Buenos Aires to Santiago, Chile, but disappeared over the Andes mountains minutes before its scheduled landing.
In his last moments, the aircraft’s radio operator transmitted three identical and puzzling Morse code messages: “STENDEC.”
To this day, it's a mystery what the message of Stendec could mean.
There was no trace of Stardust, and after extensively searching the supposed crash site, investigators concluded they would never know what happened to the aircraft.
Several conspiracy ideas were popular when the five crew and six passengers disappeared.
Fifty years later, in 1998, pieces of wreckage began to emerge in the Andes Mountains. Hikers discovered the plane’s wreckage in a melting glacier.
While finding the plane puts to rest speculations of sabotage and alien abduction, the story remains a mystery.
The official theory is that Star Dust went off course and, in low visibility, mistakenly descended into the cloud-covered mountain range.
The passenger manifest for flight CS-59 might have been a perfect character list for a murder mystery.
Aboard were two businessmen touring South America, looking for trade opportunities. A Palestinian man was rumored to have a diamond stitched into his jacket. A South American passenger was an agent of the Dunlop tire company and had been the tutor to Prince Michael of Romania.
The oldest passenger was a widow of German extraction returning to her Chilean home after an inconvenient World War extended her visit abroad.
Add a pinch of espionage because a member of a select corps of British civil servants known as King’s Messengers carried a diplomatic bag bound for the UK embassy across the border.
Deteriorating Anglo-Argentine relations held intriguing implications for the contents of the diplomatic bag. Sabotage might have been a convenient way to ensure it never arrived at its destination.
Furthermore, the presence of the German-born woman was alarming at a time when American and British authorities were becoming increasingly frustrated with Argentina welcoming Nazi criminals fleeing from Europe.
There were countless ways a Palestinian connection could be worked into a nice conspiracy theory and possibly the Romanian Royal family.
But the 11 people landed into a glacier that concealed them, and 50 years later, body parts became visible.
Expeditions to search for the diamond and gold on the plane have failed because of the dangerous location. A story of one such expedition is worth reading.
Indian Air Force plane crash
A twin-engine turboprop aircraft of the Indian Air Force disappeared with 29 people on board while flying over the Bay of Bengal in July 2016.
The search and rescue operation became India’s largest search for a missing plane on the sea. It involved submarines, surface vessels, and aircraft, but the mission was canceled in September when no trace was discovered.
The plane and 29 people have never been found. Perhaps, there's a surprising reason why these things keep happening. I have a theory that you might like…
Pakistan Flight 404
On August 25, 1989, Pakistan International Airlines Flight 404 disappeared without a trace shortly after takeoff.
All 54 passengers on board were never seen again. Flight 404 was en route to Pakistan’s capital Islamabad from Gilgit, a city in northern Pakistan.
Flight 404 is presumed to have crashed somewhere in the Himalayan Mountains, which is a dangerous and mysterious region.
The Pakistani government quickly organized aerial search missions and land search parties comprising military personnel and civilians to scour the area around Nanga Parbat, a 26,000-foot mountain in the Himalayas, but to no avail.
No trace of Flight 404 has ever been found, and because of the treacherous conditions in the Himalayas, it’s doubtful that Flight 404 or her passengers will ever be found.
The Star Tiger Flight
The Star Tiger, an Avro Tudor IV, flew from Santa Maria in the Azores to Bermuda and disappeared on January 30, 1948. The flight was carrying 31 people from Lisbon, Spain, to Bermuda.
However, the aircraft never arrived at its destination. The plane set off despite strong winds and bad weather, with the pilot deciding not to fly above 2,000 feet during the flight to Bermuda.
The disappearance of the Star Tiger near Bermuda led many to believe the rumors of the mysterious Bermuda Triangle.
The number of crashes in the Bermuda Triangle are unexplained, but there could be a common theory with all the other missing flights.
Rescue crews searched without luck, and not so much as a life preserver or piece of debris has been found in connection to the Star Tiger.
British South American Airways Star Ariel
Another British South American Airways plane flying from Bermuda to Jamaica disappeared on January 17, 1949.
One hour after its departure, the Star Ariel made a routine communication reporting its location to the ground station and ceased to exist.
At the time, investigators could rule out three common scenarios: the plane running out of fuel, any errors credited to the pilot, and inclement weather, as the skies were clear in that area.
British civil servants in charge of the investigation noted that “some external cause may have overwhelmed both man and machine,” which inadvertently inspired many theories based upon mere conjecture by the population.
However, some experts claimed that whatever happened must have happened quickly and without warning.
Whatever the explanation, no debris was found, and all 20 passengers vanished. Undoubtedly the Bermuda Triangle theory entered the public’s mind.
Could a portal appear, allowing the planes to fly into a time warp?
Maybe a beam of energy stops the plane's engines, and they crash into the sea. Where are the debris and the bodies from the planes?
Flight 19
The most mysterious event of the Bermuda Triangle was the bomber squadron of five torpedo Avengers, called Flight 19, which disappeared without a trace in 1945.
A float plane was sent to search for the 14 pilots, but the float plane with the crew of 13 also disappeared.
The event solidified the Bermuda Triangle into a conspiracy of extraterrestrial activity.
I have another blog about Flight 19 and its connection to a spaceship.
More details are in my new book coming out this summer. While waiting, try to think about ideas that could explain these mysteries. Think outside of the box.
Thank you for following my weekly newsletter at https://lovinthings.com/, where a different point of view explains the impossible.
The world is experiencing a lot of unusual energies currently, and we need to focus not on the fear factor but on possible logical explanations.
Accept my gratitude for spending your time with me. Take care, and be well. With love, xoxo.
