MH370 THEORIES

                                                                      DIEGO GARCIA

our beloved MH370 could be at Diego Garcia, a little island in the world's most remote locations, has been suggested as a possible location for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.The island, which is 3600km from Africa's east coast and 4700km northwest of Australia, is home to 1700 military personnel and 1500 civilian contractors.It has a large runway that can accommodate commercial aircraft, and because of its remoteness and runway, it is believed that Diego Garcia is a possible location for the jet, news.com.au reports.

According to the report, this theory was given some credibility when it was discovered that the island's landing strip was programmed into the home flight simulator of MH370's pilot, Captain Zaharie Shah.The idea that MH370 landed in Diego Garcia has been claimed by American blogger Jim Stone, whose website gives a bewildering array of theories about major news events.

Stone has claimed that an American passenger, Philip Wood, on the fight managed to send a text from his iPhone stating that he was held hostage by unknown military personnel, along with GPS coordinateThose coordinates revealed a location a few kilometres away from Diego Garcia, Stone claimed.

However, contributors to the website Metabunk have argued that it is quite easy to fake a mobile phone's GPS coordinates.In the middle of the Indian Ocean lies a secretive United States military base – Diego Garcia. It has proven to be strategically vital and a launchpad for Middle East military operations.

Located on a remote island outside of the U.S., this base occupies a territory that was formerly in possession of the British Empire. Over the years, this island (that now doubles as a U.S. military base) has been at the center of many high-profile conspiracy theories and is notorious for being shrouded in mystery.

With only military personnel and island natives allowed to step foot on the island, and a level of secrecy higher than Guantanamo Bay, it's no wonder that many have come to question what really occurs inside Diego Garcia.The initial discovery of the island has been disputed, but it's been suggested that it was first discovered during an early 16th-century Portuguese voyage.

The first map that officially named the island "Diego Garcia" was published in 1599 and was created by Edward Wright, an explorer. After the publication of the map, the island remained uninhabited for over 200 years.

In 1965, the British Indian Ocean Territory was created, and Diego Garcia was solidified as an entity. Seven years later, the British and the U.S. governments signed an agreement related to the construction of a U.S. Naval Communication Station on the island.

This facility was designed to improve U.S. and British government communications in the Indian Ocean for both ships and aircraft. Additionally, the Naval Support Facility on Diego Garcia was intended to expand the U.S. defense communications network.

A common theory is that Captain Shah locked the first officer out of the flight deck. He switched off the communications systems that were designed to keep MH370 in touch with air-traffic controllers; donned an oxygen mask; and depressurised the aircraft. At an altitude higher than Everest, the passengers and other crew would soon perish from from oxygen deficiency (hypoxia).

The captain then, the theory goes, flew the aircraft along the frontier between Thailand and Malaysia to avoid raising the interest of the military on either side, before turning south to a location where he believed it would never be found.
