A mathematics professor may have solved
the mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight
MH370, which disappeared without trace
last year with 239 people on board.
Conspiracy theorists have suggested various
outlandish theories including the idea that
the flight was abducted by aliens.
But the reality may be a little more prosaic
according to applied mathematician Dr.
Goong Chen of Texas A&M University.
His computer models suggest that the flight
entered a vertical dive over the Indian
Ocean, entering the water cleanly and
without breaking up.
The simulated crash solves some of the
mysteries surrounding MH370 — such as
the lack of debris and spilled oil on the
surface.
Dr. Chen suggests that the plane’s body and
wings sank rapidly — explaining the lack o
an oil slick on the surface.
Dr. Chen says, “The true final moments of
MH370 are likely to remain a mystery unti
someday when its black box is finally
recovered and decoded.
“But forensics strongly supports that MH37
plunged into the ocean in a nosedive.”
