Flight MH370: Researcher claims to have solved the mystery – The “perfect hiding spot” found

As he claims, the pilot deliberately plunged the plane into a 6,000-meter-deep "hole" in the Indian Ocean, and it would have been an "incredibly perfect disappearance" if not for certain evidence

A researcher claims to have uncovered the “perfect hiding spot” for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, which vanished on March 8, 2014, while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. According to Vincent Lyne, an adjunct researcher at the University of Tasmania, the plane was deliberately plunged by the pilot into a 6,000-meter-deep “hole” in the Indian Ocean’s Broken Ridge, making it an “incredibly perfect disappearance” if not for certain evidence.

Lyne, who works at the university’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, describes Broken Ridge as a “very rugged and dangerous oceanic environment with narrow and steep sides, surrounded by massive ridges and other deep holes.” He suggests that the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, intentionally crashed the plane into this area, which he calls a “perfect hiding spot,” with 239 people on board, including 227 passengers from 15 countries and 12 crew members.

In a post on LinkedIn, Lyne wrote that his study changes the narrative of MH370’s disappearance from an accident due to fuel exhaustion to a deliberate act by a brilliant pilot. He notes that the damage to the plane’s wings resembles that of the aircraft successfully landed by Captain Chesley Sullenberger on the Hudson River in 2009.

Lyne’s claim aligns with previous theories that the pilot was responsible for intentionally crashing the plane in a “murder-suicide of shocking proportions” due to personal issues. However, his wife and family members have vehemently denied these claims, insisting that Zaharie was a devoted family man who loved his job.

Lyne concludes that the mystery of MH370 has been “fully solved by science” and urges future searches to focus on a specific section of the Southern Indian Ocean. He emphasizes that the evidence awaits verification and could bring closure to those who lost loved ones on that fateful flight.
