Amateur investigators following the ongoing search for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 in the Indian Ocean have detected some “unusual” activity from search vessels. The flight vanished from radar on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur International Airport to Beijing Capital International Airport in China, with 239 individuals onboard. Despite extensive searches over the years, the cause of the disappearance remains unknown, making it one of aviation’s biggest mysteries.
Recently, a new search effort began on December 30, led by Ocean Infinity and the Malaysian Government. Specialized equipment like underwater drones and submersible vehicles are being used to survey approximately 5,800 square miles off the coast of Australia. Although there have been no official updates on the progress, a YouTube channel mentioned peculiar search patterns observed by one vessel, hinting at a focused investigation in a specific area within the search zone.
The video speculates that search teams might have identified a significant area for further examination, possibly using a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) for a thorough inspection. This region coincides with a location suggested by investigator Jean-Luc Marchand as a potential crash site for the aircraft. However, it is important to note that these are only speculative observations, pending confirmation from Ocean Infinity or Malaysian authorities.
In a separate development, Egypt Air’s chief engineer, Ismail Hamad, proposed a theory that MH370 could be located in a corridor near the western Australian coast based on aviation principles. He believes tracking the deviation between the aircraft compass’s magnetic north and the earth’s true north could help locate the wreckage.
