A man has claimed he may have “solved” the decade-long mystery of the disappearance of flight MH370.
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, all presumed dead.
It ended up causing the most expensive search in aviation history, with numerous attempts made to find the crash site.
Much work has gone into narrowing down where the flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing ended, and although wreckage has been found, the main wreckage will likely never be recovered.
Now a scientist claims to have “solved” the mystery of flight MH370 in a study where he claims analysis of the wreckage shows signs of “controlled abandonment”.
Vincent Lane of the University of Tasmania wrote that the damage to the plane’s wings bore similarities to that of the plane that Captain Chesley Sullenberger successfully landed on the Hudson River in 2009.
While there is a theory that MH370 went into an uncontrolled dive after “running out of fuel,” Lin’s study says it was instead a more controlled descent into the water with the pilots deploying equipment to help the plane fall.
“This work changes the story of MH370’s disappearance from that of a faultless, low-fuel, high-speed dive on 7 to that of a genius pilot who nearly made an incredible disappearance in the southern Indian Ocean,” Lin said in a LinkedIn post accompanying his study.
“In fact, the flight could have been successful had MH370 not crossed the wave with its right wing and had Inmarsat not detected the tactical interrogation satellite communications.”
Lane is by no means the first person to claim to have “solved” the mystery of what happened to the plane.
There are many theories surrounding what happened to the plane, with much of the search effort focused on the sea and trying to determine where the plane may have gone down based on debris washed up on the waves.
One technical expert claims the plane crashed in the Cambodian jungle, while other theories suggest that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 was hijacked or shot down.
Another tried to claim that the plane flew into a black hole (a radar blind spot, not space) in a “carefully planned” move to get off the grid.
There is debris, flight records and evidence to analyze as people try to figure out what happened to MH370, but unless or until we find the plane itself, it will be difficult to prove any theory.
