New MH370 Analysis Suggests There Was No One at the Controls

A new analysis into the disappearance of Flight MH370 suggests that there was no one at the controls at the time of the crash.

In a statement the Australian Transport Safety Bureau released on Wednesday, it is suggested that the models of the aircraft’s final trajectory, combined with the wreckage evidence show that no preparations were made for an emergency water landing under a captain’s guidance.

 In addition, wing wreckage, the ATSB report states, also confirms that the plane’s final descent was not a controlled one. An investigation into the wing flap recovered on 20th June, 2016 in Tanzania, revealed it had “interacted with mechanisms, supports and surrounding components”, suggesting that it was extended into a landing position just before the crash.
