Malaysian MH370 Disappearance

It's hard to believe that it's been ten years since the MH370 disappeared. Last night, I watched a very good video about it by Mentour Pilot on YouTube. He's a commercial airline pilot from Holland (I think), and he know what he's talking about. This is the most technical, detailed report I've seen yet, and I've seen a lot of them.

I really like this guy - I’ve watched dozens of his videos on UTube. He has some very technical videos on aircraft design and flying as well as detailed dissections of accidents.

I have been following him for quite a while. His posts on air accidents and near-accidents are very informative.

Seen some recent mentions about it in the last month or so with some company saying they are pretty sure they know abouts where it is. I also was surprised that 10 years have passed already.

A fascinating video. John Nance, who is a technical advisor for the Smithsonian Channel's Air Disasters show opined the same basic conclusion in thier show on this subject. It almonst certainly had to have been deliberate, a scary thought. His concluding remarks that we must find this aircraft is compelling but it's a huge area at the bottom of the sea even with the WSPR data he mentions and the is no possiblity of the two data recorders providing locating pings after ten years. The chances of finding this wreckage seem incredibly slim to me without some means of locating the site.

And, of course, the bottom of the ocean isn't a nice, flat area. It's mountains and valleys, making the search more difficult.

Exactly. This is possibly in the same location as Amelia Earhart's plane.
