Missing Jet Was Out Of Control Before Crashing

Analysis of wreckage belonging to the ill-fated Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 revealed the flight descended rapidly, plunging to the sea with no one in control of the flight, investigators said Wednesday
.

In a new report on the ongoing investigation looking into the mysterious disappearance of flight MH370, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said the plane was in a “high and increasing rate of descent” when it made its last satellite communication. The plane’s right outboard wing flap, which was found on Pemba island, was not deployed at the time of the crash, investigators found.

“The purpose of the examination was to inform the end-of-flight scenarios being considered by the search team,” the report said. “The right flaperon was probably at, or close to, the neutral position at the time it separated from the wing.”
