A cursed year for Malaysia Airlines. The Malaysian airline will lose two aircraft and hundreds of passengers; two dramas with very different circumstances but as obscure as each other. While the first Boeing has not been found, no one knows yet who shot the second.
MH370, MH17, flights, two dramas, a cursed company this year.
On March 8, the flight MH370 Malaysia Airlines disappears from radar screens less than an hour after taking off from Kuala Lumpur. The 227 passengers and 12 crew members went to Beijing. They'll never get.
The company informing families that the plane disappeared. Thus begins a new hunt in the history of civil aviation. At that time, no doubt of that interminable wait looming and no one knows what happened to this plane, or where it may be.
After 16 days, the Malaysian Prime Minister informing families that all hope is lost. The plane crashed into the Indian Ocean. Nine months later, and despite the most expensive research in history, still no trace of the wreck.
On several occasions, at sea and in the air crews believed the spot, but each time it was a false alarm. In October, research has resumed. This disaster remains one of the greatest mysteries of modern aviation.
Four months later, a new drama for the Malaysian airline. The MH17 flight was flying from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur crashed in eastern Ukraine, where civil war rages between rebels and pro-Russian Ukrainian troops.
Army and separatists accuse each other of having shot the camera. The only thing that is on today is that the plane had been shot down by a missile. But who fired? Phone records between rebels tend to put them into question.
Accused of curbing international investigators, the rebels of Donbass recover the black boxes of the device to the Malaysian experts and authorities on 21 July. The survey is to date still being in the hands of Dutch experts.
The Netherlands has paid the heavy price for this disaster. Of the 298 deaths, including 283 passengers, 193 were Dutch.
