Has MH370 been found as claimed in a viral post?

New Delhi: A photo showing plane wreckage at the bottom of the sea, claiming to be the missing aircraft MH 370, has gone viral with the post amassing over 1 lakh likes on Twitter. The claim made in the post is completely fake and the Malaysian aircraft is still missing.

According to AP's assessment of the post, the photo shows an old Lockheed Martin L1011 Tristar airplane in the Red Sea. The image comes from a video posted online by the Deep Blue Dive Center, a scuba diving company in Aqaba, Jordan. The Malaysian Airlines flight vanished on March 8, 2014, while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

In the viral post, a photo of the front of a rusty airplane covered in algae has been shared as the missing MH370 plane. The post reads, "Malaysia Airplane MH370 that disappeared 9 years ago has been found under the ocean with no human skeleton. The plane had 239 passengers on board.”

The same image is also being shared on other social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram. However, the image used in the post is NOT Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

The image comes from an Instagram video posted on April 6 by the Deep Blue Dive Center, a company that offers scuba diving lessons and other underwater activities in the Gulf of Aqaba, news agency AP reported.
