New search site for missing flight MH370 uncovered by experts

The new search site could provide answers in just ten days for the long-running mystery.

Experts have uncovered a new search site for the missing MH370 flight which could bring the end to a nine-year mystery.

On 8 March, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight 370 went missing - sending shockwaves across the globe.

The MH370 flight took off from Kuala Lumpar for Beijing, China with 239 passengers and members of crew on board.

Not long into the flight, radars were left unable to locate the plane and it was never seen again.

The incident came back to the forefront this year as a result of the Netflix docuseries - MH370: The Plane That Disappeared.

Since 2014, several pieces of wreckage from flight MH370 have been found, however, formal investigations led by Australia and Malaysia have failed to provide answers as to what happened.

The official script for the disappearance of MH370 suggested the aircraft executed a dramatic U-turn less than an hour into its flight before plummeting into the ocean.

Some experts have suggested that the plane could have been hijacked, while others have even suggested the aircraft was shot down by the US Air Force.

Now, pilot Patrick Blelly and aerospace expert Jean-Luc Marchand have said that a new area could be searched in just ten days.

Many theories surrounding flight have been discussed over the years.

"We have done our homework. We have a proposal … the area is small and considering new capabilities it will take 10 days," Marchand said.

"It could be a quick thing. Until the wreck of MH370 is found, nobody knows. But, this is a plausible trajectory."

Marchand and Blelly's theory is that the plane was hijacked by an experienced pilot before it was ultimately plummeted into the ocean.

"We think, and the study that we've done has shown us, that the hijacking was probably performed by an experienced pilot," the aerospace expert claimed.

"The cabin was depressurised ... and it was a soft control ditching to produce minimal debris. It was performed as to not be trapped or found.

"Certainly, the aircraft was not visible except for military. The guy knew that if search and rescue would be triggered it would be on the flight path."

Meanwhile, tech expert Ian Wilson has a differing view to many, suggesting that the remains of MH370 are lying deep in a jungle in Cambodia.

As per The Mirror, he said: "Measuring the Google sighting, you're looking at around 69 metres, but there looks to be a gap between the tail and the back of the plane. It's just slightly bigger, but there's a gap that would probably account for that.

"I was on there [Google Earth], a few hours here, a few hours there. If you added it up I spent hours searching for places a plane could have gone down.

"And in the end, as you can see the place where the plane is. It is literally the greenest, darkest part you can see."
