- "Mystery Unraveled": Experts Announce Discovery of MH370's Position
Over a decade ago, Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 vanished from radar while traveling from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, carrying 239 passengers. Ever since, researchers and aviation enthusiasts have been frantically attempting to solve this aviation enigma. Recently, an Australian scientist, Vincent Lyne from the University of Tasmania, claims to have pinpointed the plane's final resting place.
Lyne announced in a LinkedIn post that he believes the wreckage is situated in a 6,000-meter deep pit, hidden away in the treacherous marine terrain at the end of the Broken Ridge, an oceanic plateau in the southeastern Indian Ocean. This rugged and hazardous environment is likely the reason why the debris hasn't been located yet. Lyne's 2021 study was recently approved and published in the highly respected journal "Journal of Navigation" following a thorough review process.
But what caused the plane to crash? Lyne is convinced it wasn't due to fuel depletion, as commonly assumed, but rather an intentional water landing executed by the plane's captain, Zaharie Shah. He bases this belief on the damaged wings and flap system, as well as a flap discovered off the coast of La Réunion, which he claims resembles the aftermath of Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger's controlled water landing on the Hudson River in New York in 2009, where all 155 passengers made it safely to shore.
Planned Dive or Emergency Landing?
Lyne's findings support the theory proposed by Canadian aviation expert and former investigation officer Larry Vance, who also noted peculiar damage on a discovered wreckage and believed it to be the result of a controlled water landing. Whether Captain Shah intentionally chose to go down or if an emergency forced the decision remains uncertain even with the latest developments.
For his research, Lyne combined the longitude of the Penang airport's runway with a flight route found on the pilot's personal simulator, which FBI investigators previously dismissed as "irrelevant." At the intersection of these two lines, Lyne claims, lies the 6,000-meter deep pit. MH370 disappeared from radar near Penang at the time.
Lyne urgently called on authorities to investigate the location he has uncovered, as this may bring closure to the families of the missing passengers who have been subjected to a multitude of "confusing theories" and "unfounded speculations."
The ongoing mystery surrounding MH370's disappearance has led researchers to consider various theories, with Lyne's latest hypothesis suggesting that the plane intentionally crashed into a 6,000-meter deep pit in the Indian Ocean. Despite the rugged marine terrain, the location of the wreckage could potentially provide closure to the families of the 239 passengers.
