MAS B772 9M-MRO Flight MH370 KUL-PEK Missing with All 239 POB Presumed Killed

[MAS B772 9M-MRO Flight MH370 KUL-PEK Missing with All 239 POB Presumed Killed]

I think that picture of the RR fragment has been around for a while already. The image is probably not of the latest debris find in Seychelles.

Hard to believe that in a few hours, it will be 3 years since we woke up to the tragic news of the loss of 9M-MRO and the 239 souls on board. Never imagined it would remain a mystery even to this date.

May they all rest in peace and may their loved ones find the strength to push on each and every day.

ET will fly ADD-KUL-SIN effective June 2nd 2017 5 times weekly terminating the current ADD-BKK-KUL route. MH, AK and OD will definitely hike up their fares to BKK/DMK for sure.

The routing is ADD-SIN-KUL.

[Turkmenistan Airlines to KUL]

A Turkmenistan Airlines Boeing 777-22KLR (EZ-A777) landed in KLIA about 10 minutes ago as T53201. Is this a charter/seasonal or for maintenance? I believe they have terminated KUL as a destination a while back.

9M-MRL just departed KUL as MH5160. Probably an air-test of some sort? It made a U-turn over Penang and is seemingly headed back to KUL.

UPDATE: It landed in SZB.

The images are somewhat an eerie reminder of the ill fated SQ6 that crashed in TPE

Omg, I thought the same thing. Especially the night shots.

[Emirates Flight EK521 TRV-DXB 777-300 A6-EMW Crash-Lands at Dubai Airport]

Is there any reason/clue of this accident? even there is no information on Avherald.

Possibly a failed go-around, due to windshear.
