The mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished on March 8, 2014, has puzzled experts and the public alike for over a decade. Recently, Australian scientist Vincent Lyne has reignited interest in this aviation enigma with a bold claim.
The disappearance of the plane, which was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, triggered the largest aviation search in history, concluding in January 2017 without any findings. A scientist from the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies now proposes that the plane may be located in a deep 6,000-meter trench at the eastern end of the Broken Ridge in the Southern Indian Ocean.
The disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 has been shrouded in numerous theories since 2014, but no conclusive evidence has been found within the expansive 120,000-square-kilometre search area of the Indian Ocean. As a result, the Australian-led search was suspended three years later.
In a post titled “Mystery of MH370 Solved by Science,” a Tasmanian scientist claims to have pinpointed the plane’s location by analyzing the longitude of Penang airport and intersecting it with a flight path from the Pilot-in-Command’s home simulator. This track, previously dismissed by the FBI and other officials as “irrelevant,” points to a site with a rugged and challenging underwater landscape.
He stated, “That location needs to be verified as a high priority. Whether it will be searched is up to the 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 through science!”
The scientist also compared the plane’s damage by analyzing MH370’s wings, flaps, and flaperon alongside the controlled ditching of US Airways Flight 1549 by Captain Sully on the Hudson River on January 15, 2009, following a bird strike.
This new potential location reignites hope that the enigma of flight MH370 might finally be unraveled, though it now rests on official bodies to decide whether or not to search this area.
