Scientist claims to have found MH370 wreckage location

A retired scientist believes he has found the wreckage of the missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370. The plane disappeared in 2014 on its way to Beijing with 239 people aboard. It vanished just 40 minutes after takeoff from Kuala Lumpur International Airport, creating one of aviation's greatest mysteries. Vincent Lyne claims to have identified a specific location on a global ocean floor map. He spotted a yellow dot, which he calls an "anomaly," at Latitude 33.02°S and Longitude 100.27°E. This location is near the Penang Airport’s southwest tip. The area is known as the Penang Longitude Deep Hole and is about 19,685 feet deep. Dr. Lyne explains that this "bright pixel" on the map indicates a potential crash site. He noted that the underwater terrain at this point does not appear to be a natural formation, which supports his theory that the plane's disappearance was a deliberate act by the pilot, Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah. In December 2024, Malaysian authorities approved a new search for MH370. They are working on a contract with Ocean Infinity, an American company, for this renewed effort. The search is expected to cost around €66.4 million.
