THE STORY:

"The SS Ourang Medan" was a ghost ship which, according to various undocumented sources, became a shipwreck in Dutch East Indies waters after its entire crew had died under suspicious circumstances.


THE MYSTERY:

The story of the Ourang Medan has become something of a legend.According to the story, at some point in or around June 1947(apporx).Two American vessels navigating the Strait of Malacca, City of Baltimore and Silver Star, among others, picked up distress messages from Dutch merchant ship Ourang Medan. A radio operator aboard the troubled vessel sent the following Morse code message: "S.O.S. from Ourang Medan  we float. All officers including the Captain, dead in chartroom and on the bridge. Probably whole of crew dead ." A few confused dots and dashes later two words came through clearly. They were "I die." Then, nothing more.When Silver Star crew located and boarded the apparently undamaged Ourang Medan in a rescue attempt, the ship was found littered with corpses (including the carcass of a dog) "sprawled on their backs, the frozen faces upturned to the sun with mouths gaping open and eyes staring, the dead bodies resembled horrible caricatures", with no survivors and no visible signs of   injuries on the dead bodies.


WHAT HAPPED TO THE SHIP:

A fire  broke out in the ship's No. 4 cargo hold, forcing the boarding parties to evacuate the Dutch freighter, thus preventing any further investigation. Soon after, Ourang Medan was observed to explode and sink.





                 THE SHIP THAT NEVER WAS:

                                        

 
                                      
 THEORY:

There are those who speculated that the ship was actually carrying a far more sinister and altogether more dangerous cargo. Biological weapons manufactured by Japanese scientists as the result of insidious experiments that even the Nazi regime would baulk at, could well have been smuggled out of Japan. Known as Unit 731, it was designed to be a secret research and development meant to create the most dangerous chemical and biological weapons to help establish Japanese supremacy. Unit 731 was formed sometime in 1932 by a Japanese bacteriologist called Shirō Ishii who conducted terrible experiments during the Second World War. Is it feasible that Unit 731 was smuggled on a nondescript merchant vessel with a foreign crew to avoid drawing unwanted attention to what was taking place? If so, what went horribly wrong?

Twenty-six countries are involved in the massive international search for the Malaysia Airlines jetliner


1.MALAYSIA
Malaysia, which is co-ordinating the search, has deployed about 18 aircraft and 27 ships, including the submarine support vessel MV Mega Bakti, which can detect objects at a depth of up to 1,000 metres (3,280 feet).

2.AUSTRALIA
Australia has sent two AP-3C Orion aircraft, one of which is searching the waters to the north and west of the Cocos Islands in the southern Indian Ocean, and plans to deploy two more within the next 24 hours.

3.CHINA
China has deployed nine navy ships and civilian patrol vessels and a variety of fixed wing and rotary aircraft, along with a team of experts dispatched to Malaysia.

FAMOUS CONSPIRACY THEORIES OF MH370....

All though there are many theories about this mystery these are the most famous one for MH370

...US MILITARY BASE (DIEGO GARCIA)

The United States have been forced to flatly deny claims that the plane landed at its military base on the remote island of Diego Garcia.

There were strong rumors that the jetliner could have headed for the small coral atoll in the Indian Ocean, which sits around 3,500km from Malaysia.








...THE ILLUMINATE

Reddit users have seemingly taken a keen interest in the disappearance.

One, known only as i-am-SHER-locked apparently uncovered that the Boeing 777 in question was the 404th such aircraft to be produced.

"An HTTP 404 error means not found," they wrote. "Which in this case is oddly appropriate for the status of the aircraft, or just a coincidence.

"Coincidence, I think not."

...PUTIN KNOWS IT ALL

Vladimir Putin has known all along where the missing Malaysia Airlines jet is, according to a volunteer investigator.

Speaking to the Daily Star, Andre Milne said flight MH370 made a "soft ditch" landing in the Bay of Bengal, in the Indian Ocean, and that the Russian president was aware of this from the start.

"Satellites that were placed by the Russians saw the wreckage, he said. "Putin would have been given that information".

Putin kept quiet because he only discovered the fate of the jet thanks to a secret spy satellite, adds Milne, who previously appealed for £1.3m funding to scour the area for the missing jet.
