1. The most thing that surprised me while working on this assignment, was the fact that the Flight 370 has vanished out of sight that had 227 passengers and 12 crews total. It was hard to believe that the size of a plane with that much number of people just disappeared within a two hour of flight, only leaving few pieces that are presumed to be from Flight 370.

2. This is relevant, not only to me but many people that uses planes as transportation worldwide. Although the possibilities of plane crashing or disappearing are considered to be low, it may happen within the low chances. This topic pulled an interest out of me because I personally always worry if the plane might crash. Also because I use the plane once in a while to visit my family from another country, an incident about planes have caught my eyes.

3. I found the research of post #5 most interesting. Although no one knows if this shape of a plane found in Google maps actually links to the disappearance of Flight 370, it is certainly a significant evidence that must be looked into in depth. As the incident has not been solved since 2014, every bit of trace will be a helpful resource to the researchers.

4. The thing I mostly remember from this research is the last words that the pilot left before the incident happened, which was "Good night Flight 370". This would have been the biggest hint that the incident Flight 370 was planned, and was never an accidental disappearance. Also, from post #2, by the fact that no emergency calls or "goodbye texts" were made by the 239 people in the plane, I assume that this case may have been more carefully laid out, so that no witness can come to prove the truth of the happening.

5. From all the pseudoscience belief that I have learned in this course, I believe that Confirmation Bias is the most dangerous out of all, because no stories and opinions can get through if a person only decides to listen and lean on certain words that proves that they are right. This brings limitation in the conversation and perspective of viewing the circumstances that might come forward. The least dangerous pseudoscience belief in my personal opinion is Unexplained, because no one is able to conclude a situation without any evidence gives certainty. I think Unexplained is the most harmless out of all because of how only theories (people's varying opinions) make up this particular reason for belief.

6. The knowledge I would pass on would be skepticism, as not everything out on the internet or real-life can be accurate and true. Instead of being swayed and pulled into someone's opinions and thoughts, I would encourage them to rely on your own thoughts and beliefs before considering to take others. Be skeptical, have doubt on things that does not have certainty.

Description : As the mystery of Fight 370's disappearance continues on for years, variety of opinions and theories come as a result. One of the theory that can never be excluded is a theory that is connected to the existence of aliens.

Connection : As both are considered a mystery to people, some link the case and aliens as one theory. It is notable that it is unusual for a plane that big to disappear out of sight with not so much evidence. The theory of aliens being the cause of disappearance can connect to a reason for belief, Agenticity. Although aliens are also considered a mystery, people tend to support this theory because a plane vanishing with no trace left behind is as unbelievable and unusual as the existence of aliens. This results a flaw in making accurate opinions because any other side that makes up the theory has no scientific evidence to be a proof.

Description : In the picture below, people who have lost their family/friend/lovers are protesting about the incident of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Their opinions are that it is unacceptable that the case remains an unsolved mystery.

Connection : Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is known as a tragic incident that will never be forgotten. Many families were devastated from this incident and many would have blurred out the rational thoughts due to tragedy. Emotional connection, one of the reason for belief will come in this incident, as many who experienced the loss gathered to protest that the mystery of the disappearance is unacceptable (makes emotional connection of someone's loss). It is clear that they are not able to view from another perspective that the cause of disappearance being a mystery is the limitation in evidence and proof.

Description : Image below shows the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 being caught in a swamp, sinking downward. It is assumed that the plane may have sunken down a swamp because no pieces or bodies are to be found other than the few fractured pieces that are found from disappearance.

Connection : This incident can connect to a reason for belief, Unexplained, for sure, because no certainty is found in every theory that is made for the disappearance of Flight 370. Only numbers of theories come up in discussions of this case, and although pieces of the plane were found in the coast of Madagascar, it is not enough to tell the whole true story of its mystery. People only assume, and that is why this case connects to Unexplained.

Description : This article discusses about how the search of the missing plane and the passengers has been continuing for years, since March 8th, 2014. In the video that is attached within the article, the narrator is concerned about how the search and the environment recovery from the search will require more and more money as it continues. It also states a bright side that this search for the missing evidence can bring new resources, higher level of technology forward in modern world.

Connection : A pseudoscience watchlist is brought out by this article; money is often involved. More and more amount of money will be involved with the search of Flight 370 and the passengers. Longer it takes, less and less people will fund for the search for certain. Skepticism will eventually come, leaving doubts of "will this case ever be solved?"

The "top levels" of the Malaysian government have long suspected that the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 nearly six years ago was an act of mass murder-suicide by the pilot, Australia's former prime minister said in an explosive interview that aired Wednesday.

The Boeing 777 carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing vanished March 8, 2014, and is presumed to have crashed in the far southern Indian Ocean. A safety report into the disaster by an international team in July 2018 revealed the plane was likely steered off course deliberately by someone and flown for several hours after communications were severed.

Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who was in office when the flight vanished, told Sky News Australia that high-ranking Malaysian officials believed veteran pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah deliberately downed the jet.

"My very clear understanding, from the very top levels of the Malaysian government, is that from very, very early on they thought it was murder-suicide by the pilot," Abbott told Sky News.
MALAYSIA AIRLINES FLIGHT 370 'DISINTEGRATED INTO CONFETTI,' CAPTAIN APPEARS TO HAVE RUN 'AMOK,' REPORT SAYS
Abbott, who was Australia's prime minister from 2013-15, made the comments in the first part of a Sky News Australia documentary "MH370: The Untold Story" that is airing Wednesday and Thursday.

"I'm not going to say who said what to whom, but let me reiterate, I want to be absolutely crystal clear, it was understood at the highest levels that this was almost certainly murder-suicide by the pilot, mass-murder-suicide by the pilot," Abbott said in the interview that aired Wednesday.

In the July 2019 issue of The Atlantic, writer and aviation specialist William Langewiesche delved into what happened to the missing aircraft, including a look at Shah, who had "indications of trouble." The night the aircraft went missing, control was seized in the cockpit during a 20-minute period between 1:01 a.m. and 1:21 a.m. and radar records show the autopilot was probably switched off, according to Langewiesche.

When the report by a 19-member international team was released in July 2019, chief investigator Kok Soo Chon said during a media briefing there was no evidence of abnormal behavior or stress among the two pilots - Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah and co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid - that could lead them to hijack the plane.

The report, however, did say the plane's course was changed manually but did not name a suspect and raised the possibility of "intervention by a third party." Investigators stressed the cause of the disappearance still couldn't be determined until the wreckage and the plane's black boxes are found.

Langewiesche noted that while the co-pilot had nothing but a bright future ahead and no red flags in his past, Zaharie's life raised multiple concerns. After his wife moved out, the captain, who was reported to be "lonely and sad," also "spent a lot of time pacing empty rooms" and obsessed over two young internet models. The pilot's family, however, has long denied he was suicidal.

Forensic examinations of the pilot's simulator by the FBI also revealed he experimented with a flight profile that roughly matched what's believed to have happened to MH370, and that ended in "fuel exhaustion over the Indian Ocean." New York Magazine reported in 2016 that the simulated flight was conducted less than a month before the plane vanished.
MH370 HAD 'MYSTERIOUS' 200-POUND LOAD ADDED TO FLIGHT LIST AFTER TAKEOFF: REPORT
In his interview with Sky News, Abbott said he did not believe conspiracy theories centered on the Malaysian government, which owns Malaysia Airlines.

"I've read all these stories that the Malaysians allegedly didn't want the murder-suicide theory pursued because they were embarrassed about one of their pilots doing this. I have no reason to accept that," he said.

Scattered pieces of debris that washed ashore on African beaches and Indian Ocean islands indicate MH370 crashed in a distant stretch of the ocean, but a multi-government search by Australia, Malaysia and China has failed to pinpoint a location.

Abbott believes a new investigation is now warranted.

"Let's assume that it was murder-suicide by the pilot and if there is any part of that ocean that could have been reached on that basis that has not yet been explored, let's get out and explore it," he said.

Earlier this month, Malaysia said it has yet to decide on launching a new search due to not having received any new credible evidence to initiate one.

"However, the ministry will review any new evidence that it officially receives," the Malaysian Ministry of Transport said in a brief statement to Reuters.

The comments came after Australia's News Corp reported that a new search could be mounted, possibly this year, based on new evidence that it said showed the plane could have ended up in an area adjacent to the previous search area in the Indian Ocean. The U.S. exploration firm Ocean Infinity, which previously conducted a three-month search, was reportedly in discussions with the Malaysian government to launch a new search on a no-find, no-fee basis.

Ocean Infinity chief executive officer Oliver Plunkett said "no new search is imminent," but the firm continues to engage with experts to identify where any new search might be launched.

"The Malaysian government, rightly in our view, set a high bar before they will engage in that discussion," Plunkett told Reuters.

The Ministry of Transport has not yet commented about the remarks from the former Australian leader, according to The Associated Press.

Malaysian police chief Abdul Hamid Bador, who was one of the investigators, told local media that there was no evidence of Zaharie's involvement and that the plane's disappearance was still a mystery. Former Malaysian Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said in a statement to the AP that investigators had "explored every single lead and possibility" but found no conclusive answer to why the plane vanished.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 pilot suspected by 'top levels' of mass murder-suicide, ex-Aussie PM says

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
The "top levels" of the Malaysian government have long suspected that the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 nearly six years ago was an act of mass murder-suicide by the pilot, Australia's former prime minister said in an explosive interview that aired Wednesday.

# data[].attributes.body
Description : In this article, two significant theories are dealt
- plane sunk into the depth of the ocean where no one can reach to find
- a suicide-mass murder planned by the pilot.
As the last words were left by the pilot, this article assumes that it was never an accident, and was a planned tragedy.

Connection : This brings out a pseudoscience watchlist; results can't be reproduced or verified. Making connection to the first theory, people are unable to verify if the plane actually sank deep underwater even with modern technology. If the area they assume is known to have severe weather that limits people from exploring, no theory can be verified. Moving on, making connection to the second theory mentioned in the article, no one can come with an evidence to verify that the pilot has actually planned a suicide-mass murder, unless the pilot himself is still alive (which the possibilities are at minimum).

Description : This article discusses how one man found true evidence by using "Google Maps".  According to the article, a plane shaped figure was found nesting among the trees in a forest. As this new evidence shows up, it is stated that some experts take this evidence to back up their theories.

Connection : No one ever knows if this shape of a plane laying in the trees is actually an evidence of the disappearance of the plane. However, as numbers of experts already claim that this evidence supports the mystery of the disappearance and use them to back up their own opinion, it is visible that this can make connection towards Confirmation Bias. As always, when evidence that sounds realistic shows up, people tend to take evidence that makes their thoughts true, in spite of accuracy.
This also shows patternicity. When the shape of a plane was found in Google Maps, people automatically put meaning and connection towards the missing plane of the case of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

Google Maps is used by many people to navigate the planet. For most folk, it's useful simply for finding the right directions to a location. However, sometimes sights are spotted that spark genuine intrigue.

The mystery of what happened to Malaysia Airlines' MH370 has fascinated many for years.

Flight MH370 disappeared in 2014 after travelling from Kuala Lumpur, with an intended destination of Beijing.

All passengers and crew have since been presumed dead.

What exactly came to pass has still not been figured out.

The internet is awash with conspiracy theories about what happened to the doomed plane.

One man believes he has spotted real evidence of where MH370 crashed.

This, he says, is proven by Google Maps.

An image from the service captured the thick, green Cambodian jungle from above.

There, seemingly nestled among the trees is what appears to be the shape of a plane.

The object looks to all intents and purposes as though it may have landed among the trees.

A 600 metre stretch of ruined trees lead up to the alleged jet and can be seen on the map's satellite view.

Certain experts believe it is proof of the crash site of MH370.

The sighting was first pointed out by Google Maps expert Ian Wilson.

Geologist John Guo then came across the image and claimed the plane was MH370.

Guo - who says he is experienced in "remote image interpretations - said he believed the ruined trees were a 'crush zone' which was around 45m wide.

In a video on YouTube, Guo said: "This video shows an obvious crushed aeroplane image identified on Google Maps in Cambodia, first identified by a British video producer.

"The aeroplane object is clear, and the texture information of the forest behind the aeroplane helps me to interpret what could have happened when the aeroplane crushed on ground."

However, is there any truth to Guo's theory that the image captures the missing aircraft?

In reality, it seems highly unlikely. The Aviation Safety Network has denied that the Google Maps image has captured the doomed plane's "crush path."

The database website said the zone does not fit the profile of any crashes in the area and believes the sighting is a plane caught in flight.

Google Maps: Is this the remains of flight MH370? Mysterious plane crash site spotted

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
GOOGLE MAPS is a fascinating tool enabling users to explore destinations around the globe from the comfort of their own device. It can often throw up some intriguing sights - and one expert believes he has spotted the remains of flight MH370.

# data[].attributes.body
Description : Not only talking about the incident, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, but it analyzes and makes connection towards other plane disappearance and crashes that was reported in the past. By looking at the solved cases, the news tries to determine how the Flight 370 might have disappeared out of sight, but never concludes the discussion with an opinion.

Connection : This video can possibly connect to red flag, Red herring, because although the topics they discussed are in the same range, it eventually turns off-topic and starts to talk about the listed cases of plane disappearance and crashes. The main reason why it connects to red herring is because the topic of "connecting Flight 370 incidents to others" slowly fades off into only summarizing about number of plane incidents that happened in the past (gives irrelevance to the purpose of the actual topic).
The cases that are dealt also make connection to Proof of verbosity, as the news confirms that the words of the witness plays a significant role in solving a case. According to the news, witnesses have been made during the case of WTA 800, July 17th, 1996, that they saw a fire trail in the sky. This led to theories that it was a missile and terrorism, engine malfunction, and etc. The actual reason happened to be one of the theories that were made from the words of the witness. However, because no witness are present relating to the incident of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, it is hard to find the truth behind its disappearance. Having no proof of verbosity in such incidents like this tends to make limitations, and once again, leads to one of the pseudoscience watchlist; Does not progress.

# data[].attributes.body
Description : This news briefly analyzes the last words of the pilot (or the co-pilot) has left just before the incident happened. The investigators were to find the changes in their voices, and the news concludes with this theory; that the voice that was left (i.e. "all right goodnight") during the incident seemed to be highly in stress, and therefore, the pilot was somewhat in pressure to act forcefully against his will.

Connection : The act against someone's will is a metaphor to the pilot planning to make the plane crash (more like disappear). This secrecy that may have been made between the unknown and the pilot can make a connection to a red flag; Suppression by authorities. As the people that were involved in the incident have all disappeared, this red flag makes a suitable connection. No one is able to give the rightful evidence, so people may theorize that the government or such group is behind to well-construct this mysterious disappearance (i.e. no witness to step up, making this incident unsolvable).

The Last Words of the Pilot and Co-Pilot on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370

# data[].attributes.body
Description : In this video, few experts gather to discuss about the truth behind the incident, "Malaysia Airlines Flight 370". Their main theory of this particular incident is that the plane was depressurized, and that is why no "goodbye texts" or failed emergency calls were made. This video brings an opinion towards the discussion that was made by the experts, along with the summary of the theories that were mentioned.

Connection : The opinion of the editor of this video clearly states one of the pseudoscience watchlist; Does not progress. The theories that have been discussed by the experts were not new, and the fact that there are no witness to put evidence behind their hypotheses makes connection to the pseudoscience watchlist; Does not progress.
