Recently, it was claimed that the Malaysia Airlines MH370 missing plane, which vanished on March 8, 2014, could be buried somewhere in the Indian Ocean. The plane’s vanishing was an event that left people shocked for months.
The fateful plane was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board on a path that was destined to turn into a tragedy and an urban legend.
Despite unprecedented extensive search efforts from a series of countries that lasted for years, the plane’s fate remains largely unknown. This is what makes the MH370 flight one of aviation’s greatest mysteries.
However, Vincent Lyne, an adjunct researcher at the University of Tasmania in Australia, claims to have solved the mystery, revealing the location where MH370 could be “hidden.” Lyne works at the University’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies.
The Broken Ridge theory
Lyne suggested in a post on LinkedIn that the Malaysia Airlines MH370 plane was deliberately flown into a 20,000-foot-deep “hole” in the Broken Ridge of the Indian Ocean. The Broken Ridge is a particularly rugged and dangerous oceanic environment filled with fine sediments.
Lyne claims that this location is a perfect hiding place for the missing aircraft and believes that this might be the place where the missing plane lies.
The scientist understands that his theory is different to what experts have suggested so far. Lyne believes that the prevailing theory that MH370 experienced an uncontrolled high-speed dive due to fuel starvation is something that actually didn’t happen.
Instead, he proposes that a “mastermind pilot” executed a controlled ditching in the Southern Indian Ocean. He believes this could be plausible as he compared it to the successful ditching of US Airways Flight 1549 by Captain Chesley Sullenberger in 2009.
Soundwaves to solve the Malaysia Airlines MH370 mystery?
Recently, the mystery of the Malaysia Airlines MH370 flight came under scrutiny again as scientists found a new way to attempt to solve the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
According to a recent study conducted by scientists from Cardiff University in Wales, UK, underwater microphones that are normally used to detect nuclear bomb tests picked up on a very unusual low-frequency sound around the time of the disappearance of the MH370 flight.
The sound originated near the Diego Garcia and Crozet Islands in the Indian Ocean and managed to travel a considerable distance underwater. It likely lasted for over an hour.
The lead researcher from the Welsh University, Dr. Usama Kadri, said that this unusual sound could have been produced by the actual impact of a large aircraft that eventually hit the ocean surface.
