Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 Found After 10 Years, Scientists Find Perfect Hiding Spot

The Boeing 777-200 plane vanished without a trace during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board.

In a new report released on Tuesday, Mr Godfrey said he used a high tech system called weak signal propagation to track the plane’s final movements.

The new crash location is just 28km from an area previously searched for the doomed aircraft.

He describes the technology as a “bunch of tripwires that work in every direction over the horizon to the other side of the globe”.

As planes fly through these “tripwires” the signal is disrupted.

Mr Godfrey said he combined the new method with data from the satellite communications system onboard MH370 to track the missing plane’s doomed final flight.

“Together the two systems can be used to detect, identify and localise MH370 during its flight path into the Southern Indian Ocean,” he said.

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 vanished without a trace in 2014.

According to his report, the aircraft crashed about a minute after the final satellite link-up at 8.19am over the Indian Ocean.

Mr Godfrey believes the plane rests at the base of Broken Ridge, which is an oceanic plateau in an area filled with ravines and an underwater volcano.

This location was not in the original search area defined by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau in 2015, but it is at the northern part of the 2016 extended 120,000sq km search area.

A different search in 2018 by the US run Ocean Infinity missed the location by just 28km.
