New hope to solve Malaysia Airlines MH370 mystery after underwater exploration expert promises to find wreckage
A DEEP sea exploration company has promised to send a state-of-the-art underwater drone to the seabed to finally solve the MH370 mystery.
More than ten years ago the A Malaysian Airlines flight with 239 passengers bound for Beijing disappeared of the flight radar above the South China Sea and was never found.
Several companies have led searches for the wreck in the years since, although none have yet been successful.
But CEO of Deep sea vision Tony Romeo now believes his company has all the resources it needs to carry out its groundbreaking mission.
Romeo told 60 minutes on March 17 that his company plans to send one of its most high-tech underwater vessels drones to search the ocean floor for the plane.
The drone, called Hugin 6000, is unparalleled in the field of wreck hunting with its scanning speed of 1,500 meters.
Deep Sea Vision has modified their drones to virtually eliminate blind spots, claiming that the Hugin 6000 only needs to be sent down once to reach a conclusion.
Romeo added: “He’s flying 50 meters above the seabed and just going back and forth, back and forth, back and forth.
“Big eyes, looking at everything it can see, sucking in data and storing it, coming back to the surface, we put a USB stick in it, get the data out and we look at it on a computer exactly as it looked .”
In response to questions about whether Deep Sea Vision’s new technology could find MH370, Romeo claimed it could.
The CEO claimed that the company’s drones can search four times the ground covered by the search efforts conducted so far.
Romeo also claimed that the new technology the drones use is simply ‘incredible’ – and is strong enough to capture the most minuscule details of the seabed.
He said, “I feel like we’ve proven our credibility, we’ve proven our competency.
“We have proven that we can use equipment and use new techniques.
“And I believe the Malaysian The government wants answers.
“I refuse to believe that they don’t want a major accident, as major an accident as this, to go unsolved. It’s just not fair, it wouldn’t be fair to the families.”
Romeo added that Deep Sea Visions is currently preparing a proposal for the Malaysian government.
The news comes just after The Sun revealed bombshell documentation detailing the final resting place for the aircraft just outside the official areas that are searched.
British Boeing 777 pilot Simon Hardy believes the addition of extra fuel and oxygen, as described in the documents, could be evidence that the plane’s disappearance was premeditated.
Hardy suggested that the plane’s pilot would have been in control the entire time and could have crashed the plane cleanly into the ocean at a spot known as the Geelvinck Fracture Zone.
The ‘Fracture Zone’ is essentially a trench that affects many people earthquakes that’s hundreds of kilometers long, meaning the missing jet could be buried under rocks beneath the waves of the Southern Indian Ocean.
Only a few pieces of rubble have ever been found Hardy suggests this was carefully planned.
The MH370 operational flight plan shows that 3,000 kg of additional fuel was added to the plan, the maximum amount of additional fuel that can be added to a Boeing 777 passenger flight.
The added fuel would have given the pilot 30 minutes of extra flight time or, as Simon explains, more time to dump the plane into the ocean in daylight.
Several searches and a series of blunders nothing has been found for the missing plane, but the Malaysian Prime Minister finally seems willing to reopen the investigation.
Why MH370 is still missing ten years later?
By Rebecca Husselbee, assistant foreign editor at The Sun
When an entire plane carrying 239 passengers mysteriously disappeared from the sky, it left the world in utter disbelief, including myself.
How can an entire aircraft disappear into oblivion in a modern world when its every move on land, sea and air is tracked? and how it could remain lost for ten years.
Having spent the last few years exploring the many theories about what MH370’s final moments might have looked like, from the bizarre to the complex, there is one hypothesis that answers every question for me.
Pilot Simon Hardy has left no stone unturned in his search for answers and having been at the helm of passenger flights for more than two decades, he knows every inch of a Boeing 777 cockpit.
What makes his ‘technique, not theory’ even more compelling is his ability to access the world’s best flight simulators and sit in Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah’s seat as he piloted the Malaysia Airlines plane and into the middle of the South Indian Ocean.
While others believe that WSPR technology is the key to ultimately discovering the wreckage, this has never been proven and many in the MH370 community have questioned its reliability.
Many experts agree that the ‘suicidal’ MH370 pilot was behind the plane’s demise. What we will never know is what his mentality was that night and what motive he had to carry out such a chilling plan.
Passenger safety in the airline industry is strict and the chance of travelers being involved in a plane crash is 1 in 11 million.
But do airlines consider a pilot’s mental state when he’s behind the wheel of a plane that can be converted into a 300-ton death machine?
