A researcher claimed to have solved the mystery of the missing MH370 plane thanks to missing evidence.
When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, it stunned the world.
More than 10 years have passed, but MH370 remains a target despite many search efforts. The combined fate of the 239 passengers and crew members has become a source of speculation since then.
The Express reports that the mysterious decade could be coming to an end. A researcher said he had found evidence that could pinpoint the location of the missing plane.
Vincent Lyne, a former researcher at the Institute of Maritime and directional research at Tasmania University (Australia), believes he has the answer.
His hypothesis is that the plane was inside a deep hole about 1,500km west of Perth, Australia.
To reach this conclusion, Mr. Lyne relied on the plane's fuel.
A flight simulation device operated by the MH370 captain - found by investigators at his home - shows two simulated routes, different from the official routes in MH370's journey.
At the time of disappearance, MH370 was flying from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Beijing in China.
Speaking to the Express, Lyne said his hypothesis was the only possibility that had accepted all evidence, had discovered new satellite evidence of debris from the above location and discovered the mysteries in the simulated flight path.
For MH370 to reach the deep hole near Perth, it would require simulation to calculate the amount of fuel needed.
This needs to be done secretly because if the simulation is an actual flight path and investigators find it on a home simulation device, it will lead them to the location of MH370, Lyne said.
He suspected that the simulations were seemingly carried out on a Boeing 777-200LR, while Flight MH370 took place on a Boeing 777-200ER.
Although Malaysia Airlines does not have a 777-200ER in its fleet, pilots can calculate the conversion of fuel from one aircraft to another to run accurate simulation.
The above information was given when the Malaysian Transport Minister said that the search for the new MH370 will be considered if there is reliable information about the location of the plane.
Regarding whether his theory will promote a deeper investigation, Lyne said: At this stage, there are many people presenting their hypotheses to the search company Ocean Infinity and the Malaysian Transport Minister.
Despite my confidence, my advice is to establish an international scientific assessment team to review all the hypotheses and provide advice for the next search for MH370, Lyne said.
This is just one of many theories about MH370 in recent months. Only time will tell whether any of these theories lead to the truth.
