According to a recent report, the missing Malaysian aircraft,MH370, plunged into the ocean at high speed up to 20,000 feet a minute reinforcing analysis that the missing Malaysia Airlines jet crashed in the current search zone. The plane began its nose dive at 8.19 am (GMT+8) on March 9, 2014 when its fuel tanks were empty and its engines stopped, a popular daily reported. The left engine was the first one to go and the right one followed about 15 minutes after that, which led to the jet's slowdown and it losing its ability to stay elevated. An extensive underwater hunt in the southern Indian Ocean has not yet found the crash site, fuelling speculation it may be outside the current search zone, particularly if someone was at the controls at the end of the flight.
A manned plane could have been glided down, allowing it to enter the water outside the 120,000 square kilometre (46,000 square mile) area being searched, some experts have suggested. This revelation comes after Malaysian officials said one of MH370's pilots plotted a path over the Indian Ocean on a home flight simulator, but warned this did not prove he deliberately crashed the plane. Australia, Malaysia and China, where most of the passengers were from, have agreed that when the current search area is fully searched, expected around December, they will stop unless 'credible new information' emerges.
