MH370 mystery finally ‘solved’ as expert reveals the ‘perfect hiding place’

The mystery surrounding Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 may finally be solved. An expert suspects the plane is in the ‘perfect hiding place’.

Newly discovered signals from the missing Boeing 777 could help determine the flight pattern in the moments before it disappeared, according to University of Tasmania researcher Vincent Lynne.

He argues in a paper set for publication The Journal of Navigation reports that the signals, combined with an assessment of the wreckage damage by crash investigator Larry Vance, “support the hypothesis of a controlled eastward descent,” suggesting the pilot made a deliberate decision to abandon the plane with 239 people on board.

The theory is rather piloted by British pilot Simon Hardy.

But it disputes the long-held theory that the plane went into an “uncontrolled, high-speed, gravity-accelerated dive after running out of fuel.” after it changed course from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing for unknown reasons, according to Express.

‘This work changes the story of the disappearance of MH-370 from a story of fuel starvation without any fault during the 7th arc, a high speed dive, to a mastermind pilot who executes an incredibly perfect disappearance in the Southern Indian Ocean,’ Lynne explained in a LinkedIn article in which he promotes his latest publication.

‘It might actually have worked if MH-370 had not ploughed through a wave with its right wing and Inmarsat had not detected the regular interrogation satellite communications. This brilliant discovery was also announced in the Journal of Navigation.’

He further argued that the damage to the plane’s wings, flap and flaperon was comparable to the damage sustained by US Airways Flight 1549 when Captain Chesley Sullenberger made a controlled ditching in January 2009.

Lynne, on the other hand, argues that newly discovered signals from the missing Boeing 777 and analysis of the wreckage indicate the pilot made a deliberate decision to abandon the plane with 239 people on board.

The plane lost contact after it deviated from its route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing for unknown reasons in March 2014

Others have previously suggested that pilot Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, was responsible for deliberately crashing MH370 in a murder-suicide of shocking proportions, which he carried out because of problems in his private life.

Shah is said to have separated from his wife Fizah Khan and was said to have been furious that a relative, opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim, had been jailed for five years for sodomy shortly before he boarded the plane to Beijing.

However, the pilot’s wife angrily denies any personal problems, while other family members and friends say he is a devoted family man and loves his job.

Lynne, however, says the evidence points to the pilot deliberately crashing the plane. She says it “provides without a shadow of a doubt the original claim, based on brilliant, skillful and meticulous damage analyses by acclaimed former Canadian airline chief investigator Larry Vance, who said MH-370 had fuel and engines running when it made a masterful ‘controlled emergency landing,’ not a high-speed crash due to fuel starvation.”

The most persistent theory is that the pilot – Zaharie Ahmad Shah (pictured) – was deliberate because he was struggling with personal problems.

He also stated that his investigation had provided a clear location where the plane may have crashed, and therefore urged that future investigations of the wreckage site should focus on a specific part of the Southern Indian Ocean.

“It is encouraging that we now know with great precision that MH-370 is located where the longitude of Penang Airport (the runway, no less) intersects the track of the captain’s home simulator, which was discovered and dismissed as ‘irrelevant’ by the FBI and officials,” Lynne wrote.

‘That premeditated iconic location houses a very deep, 6,000-meter-deep [6561.68 yard] hole at the eastern end of the Broken Ridge in a rugged and dangerous ocean area known for its wild fisheries and new deep-sea species.

‘With narrow, steep walls, surrounded by huge ridges and other deep holes, it is filled with fine sediments – a perfect “hiding place”.’

Since then, several fragments of the aircraft have been discovered over the years

The plane has been missing for more than a decade, despite authorities around the world conducting extensive searches across an area covering 127,000 square kilometers.

Several fragments of the plane have now been found and several theories have emerged about what – and who – caused the flight to veer off course in March 2014.

More than a year later, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak says a wing part that washed up on Réunion, a French island east of Madagascar, was from MH370.

Over the next two years, another 17 pieces of debris were found and ‘identified as very likely or almost certainly from MH370’, while another two pieces ‘were assessed as probably from the crashed aircraft’.

Lynne is now urging authorities to search the area which he has designated as a ‘high priority’.

“Whether or not to search is up to the authorities and the search companies, but as far as science is concerned, we know why the previous searches failed and the science is unequivocal about where MH-370 is,” he concluded.
