It has been more than 10 years since Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 mysteriously vanished into thin air on March 8, 2014 with 239 people on board.
Since then, an untold number of theories have been put forth trying to guess what happened.
There has also been no shortage of scientists, aviation experts, filmmakers, and just plain old internet sleuths who have claimed to have either figured out how to find the plane, or just flat out claimed they did find it.
And yet, here we are, 3,828 days later, and neither the plane nor any of the 239 bodies on board Flight MH370 have ever been recovered.
Now, another scientist, Vincent Lyne, an adjunct researcher at the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Arctic Studies, says he has it all figured out.
In fact, Lynne is so sure of himself he self-published am article titled “Mystery of MH370 solved by science.”
“After over two years ‘Under Review’, I am pleased to announce that the manuscript ‘Final Two Communications from MH370 Suggests Controlled Eastward Descent’ has been accepted by the Journal of Navigation (JN),” he writes. “On behalf of those waiting for loved ones, I’m grateful to the Editors and Reviewers of JN for reviewing the paper and accepting the manuscript.
“This work changes the narrative of MH370’s disappearance from one of no-blame, fuel-starvation at the 7th arc, high-speed dive, to a mastermind pilot almost executing an incredible perfect-disappearance in the Southern Indian Ocean.
“In fact, it would have worked were it not for MH370 ploughing its right wing through a wave, and the discovery of the regular interrogation satellite communications by Inmarsat—a brilliant discovery also announced in the Journal of Navigation.”
Long story short, Vincent Lyne believes that based on his research, missing Flight MH370 was deliberately crashed by the pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah in a specific location in the ocean where there is a 20,000-foot hole with narrow steep sides.
Lyne calls it “perfect ‘hiding’ place.”
“That location needs to be verified as a high priority,” he states. “Whether it will be searched or not is up to officials and search companies, but as far as science is concerned, we know why the previous searches failed and likewise science unmistakably points to where MH370 lies. In short, the MH370 mystery has been comprehensively solved in science!”
Unfortunately, as Jeff Wise, a journalist who specializes in aviation, told Forbes after reviewing Lyne’s report, “I would put this in the category of people who are drawn beyond the boundaries of their professional expertise to make dubious claims about MH370.”
