In the history of world aviation, there have been quite a number of aircraft accidents. Many of those accidents have so far not been able to find the wreck, and are still an unknown solution to date.

The international search effort, with the participation of dozens of countries, lasted for many months without being effective. The search position spreads over the South China Sea and the Indian and southern seas of the Indian Ocean. However, the fate of the aircraft and 239 passengers remains a big mystery.

Based on satellite data from a British company, the Malaysian government announced MH370 plunged into the southern Indian Ocean off Australia. None of the 239 passengers and crew members survived. However, relatives of those on the flight posed many doubts because of this statement.

Flight TWA 800 C

Trans World Airlines flight number 800 crashed shortly after leaving JFK airport in New York on July 17, 1996, killing all 230 people on board.

On November 28, 1987, on a voyage from Taipei, Taiwan to Johannesburg, South Africa, South African Airways flight number 295 was safely flown in 9:30. However, when the plane passed through Maritus airspace in the Indian Ocean, the pilot discovered smoke in the passenger compartment and announced a power failure. A few minutes later, the plane crashed into the ocean , killing all 159 passengers and crew. Fragments of the plane drifted to Madagascar, but were not picked up due to the political conflict between the island nation and South Africa at that time. The real cause of the accident is still a secret to this day.

Flight 1285

In December 1985, Arrow Air 's flight 1285 returned American troops from Egypt to the damaged base, killing 256 passengers and crew. After the investigation, the Canadian Air Safety Agency (CASB) cannot make conclusive conclusions about the cause of the incident.

An Islamic terrorist group took responsibility for the attack. A Canadian journalist said he had received an anonymous call from a Middle Eastern who provided the attack information. However, the incident was quickly forgotten when the Challenger space ship disaster took place six weeks later.

Pan Am Flight No. 7 (US) in 1957

On November 8, 1957, Pan Am's flight No. 7 (USA) had just begun its round-the-world journey, unfortunately crashing into the Pacific Ocean . This terrible accident has killed 44 passengers.

Authorities cannot determine the cause of the accident, but there are some suspicious things in this incident.

The most suspicious point in the main report is that CO poison is found in the bodies of ill-fated victims.

Flight 007

The flight bearing the number 007 of Korean national airline Korean Airlines (also known as KAL-007) Su-15 of the Soviet Union (USSR) shot down when it went too deep and the airspace of Moneron, west Sakhalin on September 1, 1983. At that time, there were 246 passengers on KAL-007 and 23 crew members. It is worth mentioning that on the plane, there are senators Lawrence McDonald, one of the prominent politicians of the Democratic and US House of Representatives. After the incident, the USSR Politburo immediately held an emergency meeting and argued that this was an American fault by infiltrating intentional airspace.

For its part, the US firmly opposes that statement from Moscow. However, the USSR still maintains its position of not allowing any investigation from delegations or from peace organizations around the world. Therefore, the cause of aircraft accidents is still extremely mysterious, causing much controversy. However, things have gradually opened up when the Russian Federal Aviation Administration (FKA), the US Aviation Agency and the International Civil Aviation Organization ICAO collect debris, black boxes and conclude the incident. Art and error of pilot is the cause of the accident.

At the investigating agency, the two men said they had carried out the bombing orders of Carriles and Bosch. Despite the indisputable evidence of the crimes Carriles and his co-workers have committed, for many years, the Venezuelan court could not make an appropriate judgment by the pressure from American political forces. From 1976-1985, dozens of trials took place but all fell into deadlock. On August 18, 1985, Carriles took advantage of his spare time to escape prison in the state of Guarico. A trial later concluded that Lugo and Lozano were sentenced to 20 years in prison, while Bosch was innocent. Later disclosed documents show that the defection of Carriles has a CIA arrangement.

The aircraft carries the nickname Argo 16

On November 23, 1973, a C-47 plane nicknamed the Argo 16 fell into an industrial park in Venice. The first cause identified is the pilot's fault. However, the investigation then concluded, the plane fell due to terrorism, and the weapon that the perpetrator used was a bomb. Mossad, Israeli intelligence agency is the first suspect.

In late 1973, the Italian government signed an agreement with the Palestinian Liberation Movement. Mossad wants to use the Argo 16 to send a warning message. The second suspect involved Operation Gladio, a CIA-backed movement. Operation Gladio shot down the Argo 16 to threaten the Italian government at the time.

Strange survivor

The McDonnell-Douglas DC-9 aircraft carried 28 people in distress in Hinterhermsdorf, East Germany on January 26, 1972. Vesna Vulovic is a flight attendant when the bomb explodes at an altitude of 10,050 m. A German citizen, after arriving at the scene, found Vesna leaning out of the plane, so he tried to save her. At that time, Vesna suffered injuries: cranial fractures, broken legs and vertebrae 3. After surgery, Vesna's legs can function normally and continue to work underground for the airline before. After that horrific accident, it was discovered that Vesna's schedule that day was mistaken for another hostess named Vesna. So she took the wrong flight. Guinness World Records recognizes Vesna as the survivor from the highest altitude without parachutes (more than 10,000m).

Some theories suggest that Ustashe Croatia is the mastermind of this attack. However, the evidence is not enough to draw such conclusions.
