The Malaysia Airlines Plane Found Hoax
News of the finding of Malaysia Air Boeing 777 that disappeared in 2014 has been revealed as a hoax. The fake tweets, images and videos titled Malaysia airlines plane found are part of a marketing campaign to direct traffic to a particular site. The images capture ships sailing in an ocean but not involved in the actual search.
The disappearance of the Dream Liner on 8th March 2014 on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport shocked the world. On board were 239 passengers on a scheduled flight. It lost contact almost an hour after takeoff and disappeared from tracking two minutes later. The aircraft remained within the Malaysian radar for close to an hour before disappearing completely.
Search and rescue missions have been carried out over an expansive area since it disappeared. They involve helicopters, ships, jets, boats and hundreds of sea specialists. Tracking technology from different nations has been deployed without success.
After months of combing expansive areas in the sea and land, not even debris has been traced. The reports indicating that wreckage has been found are all false. These reports indicate that it was seen in remote islands of either the Mediterranean Sea or the Indian Ocean. Either way, none has been true.
The most common is the claim that a sailor has received five million for sighting it during a fishing expedition. This is based on a reward that seeks to lure whistle blowers to reveal the information to relatives and families of the passengers. The report directs you to a link with a video that is to be viewed after sharing the link on your social media platforms. As it turned out, it was a well orchestrated marketing scheme.
Upon sharing, the video is not activated. Instead, you are directed to marketing survey sites. Even more surprising is the fact that the image purporting to represent the disappeared jet is wrong. It is the wreckage of US Airways Flight 1549 that crashed in 2009 at Hudson River in New York.
The dodgy affiliate marketing scheme takes advantage of unending curiosity surrounding the disappearance of the Dream Liner. Through the clicks as people search for the video, the site owners earn millions. Beyond the clicks and surveys, they have pages where you are required to enter you phone number. This will lead to a subscription to a very expensive text message service. You will never find the video but will help the marketers to make a lot of money.
The whereabouts of 239 passengers aboard the commercial flight remains a puzzle. The jet is also said to have been among the most advanced in the market. Despite availability of advanced technology, nothing has been found yet. Dozens of countries have been combing the Indian Ocean with no success.
Family members and relatives seek to raise five million dollars to lure any whistle blower into revealing the secret behind its disappearance. This follows conspiracies that it was brought down in enemy territory or a part of a secret scheme involving different countries. The hoax thrives on the fact that no one knows what happened to the Boeing 777 an hour after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
