A new search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has been urged by aerospace expert Jean-Luc Marchand and pilot Patrick Blelly. They believe that new leads on the fate of the flight could potentially solve the mystery in a matter of days.
During a lecture at the Royal Aeronautical Society in London, Marchand and Blelly proposed that the search area could be thoroughly explored within 10 days through an open call for assistance.
They emphasized the importance of finding the wreckage of MH370, as it remains unknown what truly happened.
The experts called upon Australia’s Transport Safety Authority, the Malaysian government, and Ocean Infinity, an exploration company, to initiate a new search.
Marchand also suggested that this search could serve as a test for the company’s new unmanned sub-nautical search technology. He further speculated that the hijacking was likely carried out by an experienced pilot, who depressurized the cabin and executed a controlled ditching to minimize debris and avoid detection.
The experts argued that the plane’s transponder was intentionally turned off and that the deviation from the flight path was not due to autopilot.
On March 8, 2014, the Malaysia Airlines aircraft disappeared from radar screens approximately two hours after departing from Kuala Lumpur International Airport en route to Beijing, with 239 individuals on board.
Afterwards, extensive search operations were carried out in the southern Indian Ocean involving multiple countries; however, neither the aircraft nor its debris was located.
