Experiment could be 'key' to solving decade-long mystery of missing MH370 plane

The mystery surrounding the disappearance of missing flight MH370 continues to rage on, as experts are still weighing in and investigating the peculiar case.

It's been over 10 years since the fateful date when the most famous aviation mystery in modern history took place.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 set off on its journey from Kuala Lumpur to the Chinese capital of Beijing on 8 March 2014, but bizarrely changed its pathing, flying off course before disappearing off the radar without a trace.

Since then, there have been several theories and bits of evidence that have been uncovered in relation to the case, though an explanation of the disappearance is still needed, as teams are continuing to investigate, worldwide.

It is sadly presumed that all 229 on board (227 passengers, 12 crew members) are dead following the mystery, after the Boeing 777 sent zero distress calls as it veered off its flight path, flying in a different direction for another seven hours.

People have long wondered about what might have happened onboard that flight 10 years ago, as the search for the plane's black box flight recorders continue.

Many believe that the answer to their questions lie within the elusive box, and though debris has been recovered across the Indian Ocean, the full wreckage has not been found.

It has long been believed that the plane crashed into the Southern Indian Ocean, and following a search over 46,332 square miles, a few fragments were found on a beach in Saint Denis, Reunion Island back in July 2015.

But now, one aviation expert thinks he might be able to crack the code.

Science journalist and private pilot Jeff Wise is starting an experiment which he thinks could reveal the answer to the aircraft's crash site.

Labelled the 'Finding MH370 project', the aim will be to find if the plane did plunge into the Southern Indian Ocean. But how?

Well, the idea is to place a replica of a piece of debris in the potential crash site, and remotely keeping track of marine growth on the piece.

"It is the most baffling case - most are far more straight forward," he told Femail.

Wise compared the missing aircraft to another aviation mystery, Air France Flight 447, which also went missing and killed all 228 passengers onboard in 2009.

Its black box was recovered from the Atlantic Ocean in May 2011, with the final report in 2012 finding that mechanical faults and incorrect crew reaction was the cause of the accident.

The aviation expert noted that with flight MH370, its disappearance 'looks like a case of pilot murder-suicide' when looking at the details, though this has not been proven.

Wise, who is also the author of the book The Taking Of MH370, highlighted that the outcome of his new experiment could help and point research teams in the direction of what really happened on that doomed March day in 2014.
