The hunt for the missing Malaysian jet has become one of the most expensive in aviation history with 26 countries pitching in to help with the search using various means. The massive search for the MH-370 set the flight as one of the most puzzling disappearances in aviation history, most notably due to the fact that the plane seemed to have vanished without any warning or Mayday call.

However, Russian Intelligence confirmed to Russian daily Moskovsky Komsomolets that unidentified perpetrators had hijacked the plane, which now lays in Afghanistan near Kandahar and the Pakistani borders. The passengers are said to be living in shacks and huts and starving, while around twenty Chinese experts have been locked in a warehouse in Pakistan for possible negotiations with the United States or China.

Said sources further added that “Hitch” is the name of the hijacker who gave instructions to the pilots so as to steer it off course.
