A tech expert, Ian Wilson, has made a startling claim that he found the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 using Google Maps. The disappearance of the MH370 aircraft remains one of the most puzzling aviation mysteries in recent history.
The Tragic Day of Disappearance
On 8 March 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished without a trace, leaving the world in shock. The flight, carrying 239 passengers and crew, was en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, China, when it suddenly disappeared from radar, sparking widespread concern and confusion.
A Mystery That Sparked Numerous Theories
The disappearance of MH370 led to a surge of documentaries and theories, each attempting to explain the inexplicable. The incident recently regained public attention due to the Netflix docuseries, MH370: The Plane That Disappeared, which delves into the many unanswered questions surrounding the flight.
Official Investigations and the Continuing Mystery
Since the plane’s disappearance, several pieces of wreckage have been discovered. Yet official investigations led by Australia and Malaysia have failed to determine exactly what happened. According to the official narrative, MH370 allegedly made a dramatic U-turn less than an hour into its flight before crashing into the ocean. However, despite this theory, the mystery remains unsolved.
Alternate Theories: Hijacking and Military Involvement
Various experts have suggested different scenarios. Some include the possibility of the plane being hijacked or even shot down by the US Air Force. Despite these theories, no definitive conclusions have been reached. Leaving the fate of the flight and its passengers a lingering mystery.
A New Theory: MH370 in a Cambodian Jungle?
Ian Wilson offers a different perspective, claiming that the remains of MH370 might be deep within a jungle in Cambodia. He explained to The Mirror: “Measuring the Google sighting, you’re looking at around 0.04 miles, but there looks to be a gap between the tail and the back of the plane. It’s just slightly bigger, but there’s a gap that would probably account for that.”
The Lengthy Search for Answers
Wilson detailed his extensive search efforts on Google Earth, stating, “I was on there [Google Earth], a few hours here, a few hours there. If you added it up I spent hours searching for places a plane could have gone down. And in the end, as you can see the place where the plane is. It is the greenest, darkest part you can see.”
Uncertainties Despite Comprehensive Investigations
Even after the release of a 1,500-page report by investigators, the exact fate of MH370 remains uncertain. Theories about what could have happened continue circulating, keeping the mystery alive.
New Evidence Suggests Criminal Intent
In December last year, an aviation expert proposed a new theory suggesting a criminal plot to ensure the plane was never found. The discovery of the landing gear door of MH370 at a Madagascan fisherman’s home in November—over eight years after the disappearance—has fueled this speculation.
Experts Point to Deliberate Actions
British engineer Richard Godfrey and American MH370 wreckage hunter Blaine Gibson believe that the damage to the landing gear door, known as a trunnion door, indicates that one of the pilots lowered the aircraft’s wheels in the final moments. Potentially signaling criminal intent.
The Search for the Truth Continues
Despite the new evidence and ongoing investigations, the true fate of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 remains unknown. Wilson’s claim that the plane lies in a Cambodian jungle adds yet another layer to the mystery, offering a potential clue that could finally help solve one of the greatest aviation enigmas of our time.
