A user of one of the largest English-speaking Internet communities, Reddit, posted photos of the on-board safety instructions from a Malaysia Airlines plane. The model of the plane is fully consistent with the infamous flight MH370, which went missing almost a month ago.
On Thursday night, a user with the pseudonym KBE95 posted a photo of a battered Boeing 777-200 onboard instruction manual with the comment "This is what my friend discovered at work today in Australia." The publication quickly became one of the main topics of the site, provoking a lively discussion.
The first reaction was skeptical. "Rather, it is 'your' 'friend' 'found'," wrote one of the commentators, implying that he was dealing with yet another misinformation on a popular topic. However, later KBE95 published several more photos of the same instruction, accompanying them with the time and place of filming and his pseudonym.
According to the author, the instruction was found at a waste recycling plant that receives raw materials from the south and west of Australia. One source of garbage is Busselton in the southwest of the continent. Recall, according to the latest version of the plane crash, it was in the southern part of the Indian Ocean that the missing Boeing completed its flight.
Obviously, the instruction can be from another aircraft of the same airline. However, as curious users found out, Malaysia Airlines uses Boeing 777-200 on only one flight to Australia, the rest are served by aircraft of other manufacturers and models.
There has not yet been an official response to the find, but oceanographers expect the first Boeing wreckage to be thrown off the coast of Australia within the next few weeks. “The wind direction will be predominantly southwest, so any objects will float towards the coast. However, the coastal area is vast, the search may take months, - quotes RIA Novosti expert oceanographer Alec Duncan.
The Boeing 777, flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, disappeared on March 8, 2014. Onboard the aircraft were 227 passengers and 12 crew members. For some unknown reason, the aircraft left its original course: the last signal from it was received from the Indian Ocean. A search operation involving several countries is still ongoing, but no trace has ever been found.
