A researcher claims to have solved the mystery of missing plane MH370 thanks to overlooked evidence.
When Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014, it stunned the world.
More than 10 years have passed, MH370 is still missing despite many search efforts. The overall fate of the 239 passengers and crew members has been a source of speculation ever since.
The Express newspaper said that the decade of mystery may be coming to an end. A researcher claims to have found evidence that can pinpoint the exact location of the missing plane.
Vincent Lyne, a former researcher at the Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies at the University of Tasmania (Australia), believes he has the answer.
His theory is that the plane is inside a "wormhole about 1,500km west of Perth, Australia."
To come to this conclusion, Mr. Lyne relied on the plane's fuel.
A flight simulator performed by the MH370 captain - found by investigators at his home - shows two simulated flight paths, different from the official flight path of MH370's journey.
At the time of its disappearance, MH370 was flying from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to Beijing in China.
Speaking to the Express, Mr. Lyne said that his theory is “the only theory that reconciles all the evidence, has discovered new satellite evidence of debris from the above site and solved the mystery.” in simulated flight path”.
For MH370 to reach the sinkhole near Perth, simulations were needed to calculate the amount of fuel needed.
“This needs to be done in secret because if the simulation is an actual flight path and investigators find that flight path on their home simulator, it will lead them to the location of MH370,” Lyne said. ”.
He suspects the simulations appear to have been 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 fuel conversion from one aircraft to another to run accurate simulations.
The above information was given when Malaysia's Transport Minister said new search activities for MH370 will be considered if there is reliable information about the plane's location.
As for whether his theory will prompt further investigation, Lyne said: “At this stage, there are a lot of people presenting their theories to the search company Ocean Infinity and the Minister of State for Transport. Malaysian Transport.
"Despite my confidence, my advice is to establish an international scientific assessment group to consider all hypotheses and provide advice for the next search for MH370 " - Mr. Lyne said .
This is just one of many theories about MH370 in recent months. Only time will tell whether any of these theories turn out to be true.
