MH370 went missing on 08 March 2014. Aviation’s biggest mystery continues. Amazing

It’s also not like anyone but crackpots are actively working on the case.

It’s over. Any wreckage that was gonna wash up did years ago. Any useful analysis of telemetry has already been run.

All that’s left are cheesy Discovery Channel BS shows panning over still pix of irrelevant crap, and hustlers trying to sell books & CTs to rubes.

I predict zero more will be learned by the 20th anniversary.

Some oceanographic researchers will eventually stumble onto the plane. It may take more than 10 years, though.

It’s Earherted (when the search for a missing thing or person plateaues and the only new heights achieved are by weeds and other sundry nuisances).

And Deep, Baby!

The brother part should have said half-brother. They had the same mom, if I remember correctly.

Hey, I didn’t write it. Take it up with Daniel Defoe.

Very good analysis of what’s known, by Mentour Pilot.

Watched this today, this is well worth the watch.

TLDR, very cool the kind of data that is extractable from data sources that aren’t even tangentially related to the problem space being analyzed.

Malaysia agreed to resume the search in December 2024, with Ocean Infinity conducting the search on a “no-find-no-fee” basis. Loke said the government would sign a contract for 18 months, in return for which Ocean Infinity would receive $70m if the wreckage was located and verified. The search would cover 15,000 sq km, Loke said.

For those interested the YouTube channel Mentour Now! has a video describing what Ocean Infinity thinks it can do better this time around (23 minutes):

I know that’s a generally reliable youtube channel, but that intro still of an intact shiny airplane sitting serenely on the sea floor does nothing to enhance their street cred.

That was my reaction as well.

What’s the mystery, anyway? It crashed in the ocean and sank. I mean, there are unknowns, like what caused the crash, and precisely where on the ocean floor the remains are, but there’s nothing particularly weird about either of those.

Same with Amelia Earhart.

Especially since that’s exactly the same plane picture in the video from 2024.

Old news in a new package, eh? Sure the cheapest kind to make.

Taking advantage of the signing of the Ocean Infinity contract to search for the plane, the New York Post has really really shocking news about what could have happened to MH 370, in a story headlined:

Experts reveal shocking theories about what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370

Sample shocking revelation by an “expert”:

Oh my God! I’ve got to go lie down to recover from that news!!

Must have gone down a wormhole, or maybe it went to the Land of the Langoliers and got chewed into haggis.

News flash: The ocean is big. Bigger even than a 777. Yep, bigger than that.

Are there any remains left? Or were they a tasty lunch for the creatures of the sea?

I think it’s the remains of the aircraft, not human remains.
