Investigators declare discovery of remnants linked to MH370 flight.
On March 8, 2014, Flight MH370 vanishes without a trace over the Indian Ocean. Decade later, an Australian researcher alleges to have cracked the enigma: the debris lies 6km deep in an "almost flawless concealment spot," proclaims Vincent Lyne. As per him, the Boeing did not crash.
After over two years of scrutiny, the specialist journal "Journal of Navigation" has approved its investigation for publication, divulges Australian scholar Vincent Lyne from the University of Tasmania on LinkedIn. He asserts that the MH370 enigma has been deciphered by science.
The Boeing 777 of Malaysia Airlines carrying 239 passengers mysteriously deviated course and vanished over the Indian Ocean on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. To date, only a scant wreckage debris have been retrieved, but the precise crash site continues to elude us. The events leading up to the crash remain shrouded in mystery.
A ditching akin to "Sully"?
According to Lyne, these queries potentially could be responded to, as he purports to have meticulously mapped out the crash site: his computations suggest that the Boeing's wreckage lies in a 6km-deep chasm in the southern Indian Ocean, at the eastern end of a characteristic called Broken Ridge, far off the western Australian coast. This location, Lyne mentions, the longitude of the Malaysian airport of Penang crosses a route that was discovered on the home flight simulator of the responsible pilot - and disregarded as "insignificant" by the FBI.
It is a "rough and perilous environment" recognized for unearthing new deep-sea species, Lyne pens. "With narrow, steep walls, bordered by formidable mountain ranges and other deep chasms, it is a near-ideal concealment spot." Whether a fresh search will be initiated is contingent upon the authorities and search firms, Lyne says. Scientifically, however, it has been substantiated why past search missions have faltered.
Lyne also asserts with conviction that MH370 did not crash due to fuel depletion: he has meticulously examined the retrieved debris pieces, he writes. The damage to the wing, landing gear, and other components of the Boeing substantiates that pilot Zaharie Shah attempted a controlled ditching in the heart of the Indian Ocean - much like the famed US pilot "Sully" performed a few years earlier in the New York Hudson River.
"Without a shadow of a doubt, this confirms the original supposition of Canadian aviation accident investigator Larry Vance," Lyne writes. "MH370 had fuel and operational engines when it expertly executed a controlled ditching."
Why the freight was jettisoned in the middle of the southern Indian Ocean, Lyne cannot explain. However, according to the researcher, the Boeing 777 "nearly vanished flawlessly": "It would have been successful if MH370 hadn't flown through a wave with the right wing," Lyne writes. This resulted in the damage to the found debris pieces. Additionally, the satellite company Inmarsat revealed the routine interrogation satellite communication of the aircraft and supplied another clue to solving the MH370 riddle.
The discovery of a potential crash site for MH370 by Vincent Lyne has sparked discussions about the possibility of solving the decade-long enigma. His assertion that science has deciphered the mystery, supported by the publication of his investigation in the "Journal of Navigation," has caught the attention of the aviation community.
Furthermore, Lyne's theory that pilot Zaharie Shah performed a controlled ditching of MH370, similar to "Sully's" famous incident, adds a new dimension to the MH370 mystery. If proven true, this could significantly alter our understanding of the events leading to the disappearance of the Boeing 777.
