The mystery of what happened to the MH370 plane has been ‘solved’ by Google Maps after a technology expert ‘found the aircraft’ in deepest darkest part of Cambodia jungle.
Ian Wilson, an expert from the UK, said he reckoned missing Malaysia Airlines plane remains – which vanished carrying 239 people en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing – are scattered deep in a jungle in Cambodia. He said: “Measuring the Google sighting, you’re looking at around 69 metres, 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 plane’s vanishing sparked the largest-ever search operation, and remains one of the greatest aviation mysteries of our time. But the search could be restarted after new investigations in the US.
The flight took off from Kuala Lampur on March 8, 2014, with 227 passengers on board and 12 crew. But it disappeared during a handover between Malaysian and Vietnamese air traffic controllers.
Mr Wilson said: “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 literally the greenest, darkest part you can see.”
Despite releasing a 1,500-page report, they still don’t know what happened. But the Bureau of Aircraft Investigations Archives is not ruling out the 2018 Google Maps sighting on Google Earth being the doomed MH370.
Florida academics say temperature data held by barnacles found on parts of the plane’s debris may provide the answer. These, they believe, could help track the movements of the sea creatures all the way back to when they first became attached to the aircraft.
Gregory Herbert, an associate professor of evolutionary biology at the University of South Florida in the city of Tampa, said, “As soon as I saw that, I immediately began sending emails to the search investigators because I knew the geochemistry of their shells could provide clues to the crash location,” reported MailOnline. Because barnacles grow their shells daily it means that the chemistry of each layer can be determined by the temperature of the water at the time.
