British Engineer Claims to Know Where Doomed Flight MH370 Crashed

A British aerospace engineer claims he knows the exact location where Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 crashed into the ocean

A British aerospace engineer claims he knows the exact location where Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 crashed into the ocean.

Flight MH370 vanished on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board and the wreckage has never been discovered.

Richard Godfrey has claimed that the plane hit the ocean 1,993km west of Perth and lies 4,000m below the surface on the ocean floor.

Mr Godfrey claims the plane is located on the ocean floor in an area at the base of the Broken Ridge underwater plateau.

He claims a previous search missed the crash site by just 28km and hopes his report will prompt a new hunt next year.

The location is in the same area where University of Western Australia head of oceanography Professor Charitha Pattiaratchi also claims the plane rests.

Mr Godfrey employed a new technology called weak signal propagation, originally developed for digital radio, which he describes 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.

He tested this method using several ‘blind’ flights that were not tracked in the usual way and claims the data accurately tracked the flight paths.

MH370 also had a satellite communications system using British Inmarsat satellites that tracked the location of the plane every hour.

Mr Godfrey said the two technologies, when used together, can provide ‘a good result’ in tracking a plane.
