10 YEARS BACK MYSTERY
Since the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in March 2014, numerous theories have emerged regarding what might have happened to the plane. The jet, carrying 239 passengers—mostly from China—vanished on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Despite an extensive search spanning 120,000 square kilometers (46,000 square miles) of the Indian Ocean, no trace of the aircraft was found. The Australian-led search, which was the largest in aviation history, was suspended in January 2017.
Now, a scientist from Australia's University of Tasmania believes he has pinpointed the plane's location. In a post titled "Mystery of MH370 Solved by Science," the scientist from the university's Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies suggests that MH370 is located at the intersection of the longitude of Penang airport with a flight path from the Pilot-in-Command's home simulator. This track had previously been dismissed as "irrelevant" by the FBI and other officials.
The proposed site lies in a deep 6,000-meter trench at the eastern end of the Broken Ridge in the Southern Indian Ocean, an area known for its rugged and challenging underwater terrain. The scientist emphasized that this location should be verified as a high priority. He stated, "Whether it will be searched or not is up to officials and search companies, but from a scientific standpoint, we understand why previous searches failed, and science clearly indicates where MH370 lies.
In short, the MH370 mystery has been comprehensively solved by science." In his research, he also compared the damage to MH370's wings, flap, and flaperon, noting that it resembled the "controlled ditching" performed by Captain Sully on the Hudson River during the bird-struck US Airways Flight 1549 on January 15, 2009.
