Report of Malaysia Airplane MH370 that disappeared 9 years ago has been found under ocean with no human skeleton is FAKE NEWS. (Read More Here).
A photo of a plane underwater shows the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has finally been found.
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The photo shows an old Lockheed Martin L1011 Tristar airplane in the Red Sea. The image comes from a video posted online by the Deep Blue Dive Center, a scuba diving company in Aqaba, Jordan. The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 that vanished in 2014 remains missing.
THE FACTS: Social media users are sharing photos of an old, abandoned plane at the bottom of the sea, falsely claiming it shows the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which has been missing since it went down in 2014 with 239 people aboard.
The dive center and another local diving company also advertise the plane as an attraction on their websites.
The Lockheed Martin L1011 Tristar airplane was intentionally sunk in the Red Sea off the coast of Jordan in 2019 to promote dive tourism and coral growth, according to Scuba Diving magazine.
A post on Twitter shows a photo of the front of a rusty airplane covered in algae and reads: The “Malaysia Airplane MH370 that disappeared 9 years ago has been found under the ocean with no human skeleton. The plane had 239 passengers on board.” The post had more than 61,000 likes as of Tuesday evening.
The image was also shared on Facebook, alongside several others of the side of the sunken plane and the seats inside, with the same claim it showed the Malaysian aircraft.
But the photo doesn’t show Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which remains missing. It shows an abandoned plane that was sunk off the coast of Jordan to create an artificial reef. According to the tourist page of the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) in Jordan, the TriStar plane had been out of service for several years. ASEZA recently purchased and sank it to make it a destination for divers in the red sea.
The photo in the post matches an Instagram video posted by Deep Blue Dive Center, a diving company located in Aqaba, Jordan. The video is captioned: “Tristar Airplane Wreck. Red Sea, Aqaba.
No one knows what happened to the plane. It simply disappeared from radar, and never reached its destination.
A Twitter user, on Tuesday, claimed that it had been found under ocean. The tweet reads: “Malaysian airplane MH370 that disappeared 9 years ago has been found under ocean with no human skeleton. The plane had 239 passengers on board.”
