Scientist says he knows 'perfect hiding place' of mysteriously disappeared MH370. It is...

A stunning claim was made by a scientist who said that he had finally figured out the "perfect hiding place" forMalaysianAirlines MH370, more than a decade after the plane mysteriously disappeared.

In 2014, the Malaysia Airlines flight suddenly disappeared from radarafter it took off. The plane had 239 people on board, which included six Australians.

Now, University ofTasmania's adjunct researcher Vincent Lyne said that the evidence regarding the disappearance of the flight hints that the plane was deliberately crashed into a 6,000m deep 'hole' in the Indian Ocean's Broken Ridge.

Lyne, who was employed at the university's Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, said that the Broken Ridge was "a very rugged and dangerous ocean environment... with narrow steep sides, surrounded by massive ridges and other deep holes".

"It is filled with fine sediments—a perfect “hiding” place," he said while adding that this means the plane was deliberately crashed by the pilotZaharie Ahmad Shah.

Taking to Linkedin, Lyne said, "This work changes the narrative of MH-370's disappearance from one of no-blame fuel starvation at the 7th arc, high-speed dive, to a mastermind pilot executing an incredible perfect disappearance in the Southern Indian Ocean."

"In fact, it would have worked were it not for MH-370 ploughing its right wing through a wave and the discovery of the regular interrogation satellite communications byInmarsat—a brilliant discovery also announced in the Journal of Navigation," he added.

Scientist claims MH-370 was involved in 'controlled ditching'

Lyne further argued that the damage to the wings, flaps and flaperon of the plane hinted that it was involved in a “controlled ditching”.

“This justifies beyond doubt the original claim, based on brilliant, skilled, and very careful debris-damage analyses, by decorated ex-Chief Canadian Air-crash Investigator Larry Vance, that MH370 had fuel and running engines when it underwent a masterful ‘controlled ditching’ and not a high-speed fuel-starved crash,” he said.

He claimed that MH370 is “where the longitude of Penang airport (the runway no less) intersects the Pilot-in-Command home simulator track discovered and discarded by the FBI and officials as ‘irrelevant.’”

“That pre-meditated iconic location harbours a very deep 6000m [3¾-mile] hole at the eastern end of the Broken Ridge within a very rugged and dangerous ocean environment renowned for its wild fisheries and new deep-water species. With narrow steep sides, surrounded by massive ridges and other deep holes, it is filled with fine sediments — a perfect ‘hiding’ place,” Lyne said and added that the area should be verified as a “high priority.”

“Whether it will be searched or not is up to officials and search companies, but as far as science is concerned, we know why the previous searches failed and likewise science unmistakably points to where MH370 lies. In short, the MH370 mystery has been comprehensively solved in science!” he said.
