April 1, 2014 -- (TRN) -- The Russian media outlet MK.ru is reporting today that Malaysia Airlines flight MH-370 made a hard landing on a rural road southeast of Kandahar, Afghanistan, near the Pakistan Border.  According to the report, the passengers and crew are alive.

While the Google translation from the original Russian language is not precise, the MK story says that the Pilots of Flight MH370 did not steal the plane; it was hijacked by unknown persons.  This information came from a confidential source inside the Russian security services.

Flight MH370 went missing on March 8 with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board.

The MK story claims that the passengers and crew have been "captured" and that the airplane is on a rural road, southeast of Kandahar, Afghanistan, with a broken wing from a hard landing.  The plane is said to be located very near the border of Pakistan. The story even contains a map as follows:

The story goes on to report that all the passengers are alive; that they've been divided into seven groups living hand-to-mouth in mud huts nearby.

The story also says that "20 Asian Professionals were captured" and bluntly accuses that the hijacking was done "presumably by the Americans" on "someone's order."

Member of the Flight Safety Foundation Sergey Melnichenko, pointed out that on "March 21 Thailand, India and Pakistan said that the aircraft was not tracked by air defenses; not that it did not fly over their countries, just that it was not tracked.

This past Sunday, the head of the Intelligence Committee of the U.S. Senate Diane Feinstein, responding to a question from CNN on the probability of a  terrorist component in the case of the missing plane, said "At the moment nothing has been found".

The story goes on to point out that there are two areas in Afghanistan controlled by the Taliban, with two air corridors where MH370 could fly after disappearing from radar. Rather than admit this, Malaysian authorities are merely relying on the Afghan and Pakistan governments saying military radar never tracked the plane.

 The story goes on to say that trust may be misplaced  since the border area between Pakistan and Afghanistan is semi-abandoned.
