​The Last Moments Of Flight MH370 Have Been Reconstructed And It Is Terrifying

The final moments of flight MH370 have been reconstructed for a new TV documentary, and the footage is absolutely terrifying.

The reconstruction shows the Malaysian Airlines plane spiral out of control before smashing into the sea.

Investigators have said that they are almost certain the plane ran out of fuel, after travelling the wrong way across the Indian Ocean for six hours in March 2014.

National Geographic's Drain The Oceans has recreated the plane's final moments and simulated what happens when a Boeing 777 runs out of fuel.

According to Drain The Oceans, the right engine would have flamed out first, meaning that autopilot would have tried to compensate the imbalance with a harsh left turn, before the second engine flamed out.

The plane would have then plunged into a 'death spiral' before hitting the sea with a high impact, killing all 249 people on board.

The disappearance of the plane during its fight to Beijing from Kuala Lumper is still one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history.

Some debris of the plane was found off the coast of Africa, but the main body of the plane has still not been found, despite a 46,000 square-mile search of the Indian Ocean.

The documentary airs this Thursday, and highlights how nobody truly knows how the plane disappeared.

In July 2015, part of the plane's wing was found on Reunion Island, east of Madagascar. A total of 27 pieces of debris have been found since then.

One of the pieces was a TV monitor found by amateur wreckage hunter Blaine Gibson.

Appearing on the show, he said: "This is the one find that brought tears to my eyes.

"This is perhaps the last thing that somebody saw, this is what anyone who flies on a plane would recognise."

The first official £112.5 million search for MH370 launched by Australia, China and Malaysia ended in January 2017.

In July, 2018, the Malaysian government claimed the plane was under manual control when it 'deliberately' turned off course, before plunging into the Indian Ocean, killing 239 passengers.

Drain The Oceans will air at 8.30pm on Tuesday, 25th September on the National Geographic channel
