Australian scientist Vincent Lane has made a groundbreaking announcement regarding the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, claiming to have identified its crash site nearly a decade after its disappearance. Lane's research, published in the Journal of Navigation, presents a compelling argument that the flight did not suffer a catastrophic failure but instead was intentionally guided into a controlled descent, suggesting a deliberate act by the pilot.
The missing flight, which vanished on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board, has been the subject of extensive speculation and investigation. Lane's findings challenge previous theories that the aircraft fell into an uncontrolled descent due to fuel exhaustion. He posits that the plane had sufficient fuel and was maneuvered skillfully into the ocean, akin to Captain Chesley Sullenberger's emergency landing on the Hudson River.
Lane's research indicates that the flight's last communications and the analysis of debris support the theory of a controlled landing. He has pinpointed the crash site to the eastern end of the Broken Ridge oceanic plateau in the southeastern Indian Ocean, a location characterized by treacherous underwater terrain that could conceal the wreckage.
The discovery comes in the wake of multiple searches that failed to locate the aircraft, including a significant underwater search operation that concluded in 2018 without any findings. Lane emphasizes the need for renewed investigation into this area, which he describes as an 'ideal hiding place' for the missing plane, surrounded by steep cliffs and deep oceanic holes.
