Researchers say MH370 nose-dived into the ocean

The dive didn’t wreck the aircraft mid-air and probably left the fuselage intact

The disappearance of the Malayasian Airlines flight MH370 along with the entire crew and all passengers for over a year now has baffled the world.

Various theories have abounded on the possible manner in which the aircraft might have disappeared.

Some theories say the plane exploded mid-air during a turbulent flight. Other more ridiculous theories propound that the plane might have vapourised after being struck by lightning.

Recently a mathematician Goong Chen from the Texas A&M University from Qatar led a study along with a team of interdisciplinary team of researchers simulated possible scenarios to see if an aircraft could sink in sea without leaving any debris.

If previous instances of airline disasters and instances of aircrafts plunging are taken into account, aircrafts have almost always broken into pieces or shattered upon coming in contact with the surface of water at high speeds. The only way the plane could have sunk without disintegrating was if the plane nose-dived vertically into the sea.

Upon contact with water, the plane simply sunk in without disintegrating because the aircraft's streamlined shape prevented the aircraft from encountering excess friction than what it can withstand while flying.

The videos attached show various theories how the missing aircraft might have disappeared.
