An MH370 Theory So Crazy It Could Be True?

In general I don’t pay much attention to conspiracy theories, though I’ve received no fewer than a dozen emails and messages from readers today with links to the New York Magazine article by Jeff Wise, entitled “How crazy am I think I actually know where that Malaysia Airlines plane is?”

MH370

When I first scrolled through the article and saw how long it was, I kind of thought twice about reading it.

But OMG, it was the best read I’ve had in a while. I don’t know if there’s any merit to the theory, but the 15 minutes I spent reading this story were hands down the most exciting part of my day.

Obviously we don’t know if the theory is right or wrong, but it’s completely different than anything I’ve otherwise heard, and also possibly presents the most compelling theory yet.

Wow, wow, wow…

Check out the full article.

What do you make of Jeff Wise’s theory?

MH370 was a flight to "Elysium" for some elected people. That is why they shut down all positioning systems which even experts thought would not be possible to shut down. Then they changed course and headed directly towards Antarctica and flew at least 7 hours [this is what they know] or even more. So ... if you want the truth: They landed on a land mass beyond Antarctica which on some flat earth maps is called "Geminia". It would be round about a 12 hours flight. And yes ... earth is flat. The globe is a system lie for the "normal morons" to redirect the curiosity for finding new land to a non-existing "space". There is no space. "Space" end about 70 miles above. There is a border nobody can go beyond.

Jeff Wise's blogg shows a picture purporting to be where MH370 landed and was squirreled away, with an outline of a 777 drawn on a bulldozed rectangle of ground. This is supposedly where the plane was hidden. The only problem is that the bulldozed rectangle has no road /runway leading to it along which the plane could have taxied. In fact, it is all soft ground encircled by buildings and trenches. Also, I located what I believe to be the cosmodrome he talks about at Lat 46.053318° Long 63.241591°, and I can see no features there that correlate with Wise's photo. Why didn't he publish the actual coordinates of his picture, so other "experts" could verify his "data"? Looks like a conspiracy theory, sounds like a conspiracy theory, smells like a conspiracy theory ...

There goes what respect I did have for him....apparently he's batshit insane in a way that even Dick Quest can point at and go "Look! Someone who knows less about aviation than I do!". Personally, if pressed to posit a hypothesis, I have to lean towards a subtle depressurization or improperly set pressurization system inducing hypoxia and off behavior from the pilots (such as pulling circuit breakers, course deviation, altitude excursions, etc) as the most scientifically plausible theory that doesn't require a conspiracy and fits with previous cases (Helios 522, the Payne Stewart Lear crash, various general aviation crashes over the years, etc). There's more to this hypothesis than that but you have the gist of it. It's not sexy or likely to grab attention but then again...are we wanting to figure out what happened or are we just trying to garner attention for ourselves? I am a scientist first and foremost-and one who works in aviation safety- so my attitude is everyone needs to stop wildly speculating (my hypothesis violates this but I want to demonstrate that there are mundane explanations for this) and running wild in hopes of big ratings or lots of clicks (not you Lucky...). We need to wait until we find the wreckage and actually have some hard evidence to go on before we assume hijacking, pilot suicide or any of the even more irrational hypotheses out there.

I thoroughly enjoyed the read, perfect script for a Hollywood movie. Though there were several loopholes in his theory, i cant discount the possibility that the govts know way more that whats out there. Whether its the US, Malaysian, Russian, Chinese govt, thats another question.
