However, SAYS Research Reveals That The Movie Project Started More Than A Year Before The MH370 Incident, And Was Based On The Scandal Of Air Contamination In Aircraft In The UK
A journalist (GEORGINA SUTCLIFFE) discovers one of the biggest cover-ups in aviation history by chance when she starts to ask questions after her air traffic controller husband (TJ HERBERT) is suspended following a serious in-flight incident.
As the producer/director of the feature film 'A Dark Reflection', I am here to tell you now that this film will play an important role in making air travel safer for everyone who flies. It will raise awareness to an aviation health and flight safety issue that few passengers know anything about, yet has been withheld from the public for over 50 years, is the driving force behind making this film. The film is an investigative thriller film, generally based around the ongoing serious Health and Flight Safety Implications From Exposure to Contaminated Air in Aircraft.
Since the project started on 2 January 2013, we have received very positive support in all areas but we still need more financial investors to complete the final stages of post production.

Mr Paul came up with the idea for the film after he was contacted by a Malaysian journalist in the wake of the plane's disappearance. The reporter, who has not been named, had a theory about what happened and shared it with the director. Mr Paul then spent 20 days working on a screenplay with an ending that reflected this theory.
mirror.co.uk"If you're saying a theory and suddenly the flight is found and it's totally the opposite, your investment will be wasted. "We will be fools. "That's the biggest challenge I'm facing."
mirror.co.ukMr Paul said he does not believe the families of those on board the missing plane would find his film insensitive. He added: "I will make sure no passengers will be hurt because of this. Mr Paul concluded: "Everyone in the world, they want to know what happened. "Personally if you ask me, I want the truth to come out."
mirror.co.ukThe Associate Director Of The Movie, Sritama Dutta, Says The Only Similarity Between The Thriller And The Real Incident Is That A Plane Is Missing

“It has got no similarities,” said Dutta, adding there have been so many developments with the actual case that it wouldn’t be practical to try to mirror it. “We cannot keep up with the true facts, it’s changing every day.”

Meanwhile, The First Book On The Mystery, “Flight 370: The Mystery” Has Gone On Sale In Some Countries Today
The first book on the still-unsolved mystery of Flight MH370 will go on sale in some countries today, hot on the heels of news that two films on the plane’s disappearance are being touted at the Cannes Film Festival.

According to the theory, the mistake may have been covered up because authorities did not want any retaliatory attacks. Data that sent the search off in other directions - first to the Straits of Malacca and then on to the Southern Indian Ocean - was a ruse to cover up the reality, Cawthorne states in the book.
news.com.au
Titled simply as “Flight 370: The Mystery”, the book by American author Nigel Cawthorne puts forward the theory that the Malaysian Airline (MAS) Boeing 777-200ER that has now been missing for over two months was shot down accidentally during joint war games by the US and Thailand in the South China Sea.

Cawthorne bases some of the theory on the eyewitness account of New Zealand oil rig worker Mike McKay, who said he saw a ball of fire in the sky from the rig he was working on in the South China Sea in the early hours of March 8. “From when I first saw the burning (plane) until the flames went out (still at high altitude) was 10-15 seconds. There was no lateral movement, so it was either coming toward our location, stationary, or going away from our location,” Mr McKay told his employers in an email shortly after the incident.

Cawthorne’s theory still does not answer what happened to the wreckage of the plane.
