Is Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 Another Korean Air Flight 858?
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 reminds many Koreans of what happened in 1987
It happened in November of 1987. It's been more than 26 years from today. Korean Air Flight 858 was on its path from Iraq to South Korea, carrying 115 people altogether. The plane had stood a stop-over at Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. It absolutely was planning to make another stop-over at Bangkok, Thailand before reaching Seoul. Everything was going as planned. The pilot made an announcement to everyone on board, "We expect to get to Bangkok on time. Time and location normal."
However that was not being. Before reaching Bangkok, the plane vanished out of nowhere over the Andaman Sea. Now, over 20 years later, folks are looking for another missing aircraft in the Andaman Sea yet again. Korean Dictionary
It took greater than a month later for individuals to understand what had happened. It actually was not 1987 but January of 1988 when a person called Kim Hyon-hui came forward and confessed during interrogation what she had done. She planned a bomb inside Korean Air Flight 858 (or KAL 858) before she got off in Abu Dhabi. She was obviously a secret agent from North Korea. Her mission, given by Kim Jong-il, ended up being to explode KAL 858 before the Seoul Olympics in 1988. Unfortunately, she and the other North Korean agent successfully completed their mission. (They were not even on the airplane when the bomb discontinued which is how she survived.) It took a lot more than a couple of years before any remains of KAL 858 put together, even with Kim Hyon-hui's confession. No flight data recorder (or black box) was discovered. Korean Lessons
Now returning to 2014. Surely, no such thing can occur anymore. The years have changed significantly since 1987. Although, history repeats itself. On March 8th, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared into thin air. Is not with all the technological advancements we now have achieved over time another "Korean Air Flight 858" would occur? Bed not the culprit it feasible that nobody knows what happened towards the Boeing 777 aircraft and it is passengers even four days later?
Of course, there are a variety of speculations out there in the media. But not one of these has any solid evidence to become convincing as of yet. If the was an action of terrorism, how did several terrorists get inside the cockpit so easily without the weapons? Why wouldn't the other 225 passengers and 12 crew members on the plane have been in a position to stop the hijackers from destroying their lives?
One possible scenario would be that the pilots made a decision to turn off all types of communication on their own and crash the aircraft to the sea for whatever reason. It's also feasible that the plane began to malfunction on its on as well as the pilots simply lost charge of it. However, somebody would have been capable of making an appointment before, during, or following the crash. If Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is anything like Korean Air Flight 858 in 1987, this is going to take weeks otherwise months for that truth to come about. It'll be a waiting game no one wants to experience.
