“Malaysian MH370 plane Mystery Solved, Plane’s debris Found in Cambodia, says a British Tech Expert.”
Malaysian Airlines flight MH370’s Sudden disappearance from radar while en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in 2014, is one of the most shocking mysteries in aviation history. There have been many attempts to crack it, but all went in vain.
However, after a decade, recently a British amateur Expert Ian Wilson has claimed to “solve” this greatest aviation mystery. How? He claims that it has been “found” inside deep Cambodia’s jungle using google maps, as per reports.
The Claims: MH370 Debris in Cambodian Jungle
British tech expert Ian Wilson claims that he has found the debris of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 deep within a Cambodian jungle.
On May 25, 2024, his claims that he made in 2018, regained momentum when they were widely reported in British tabloids, including the Daily Mirror, Daily Star, and Daily Record.
Wilson, who first gained attention in 2018, asserted that he had examined satellite photos on Google Maps before finding the debris.
According to reports, he remarked, "Measuring the Google sighting, you're looking at around 69 metres, but there looks to be a gap between the tail and the back of the plane. It's just slightly bigger, but there's a gap that would probably account for that.”
Wilson further commented, "I was on there [Google Earth], a few hours here, a few hours there. If you added it up I spent hours searching for places a plane could have gone down. And in the end, as you can see the place where the plane is. It is literally the greenest, darkest part you can see."
Wilson trekked the highest peak in Cambodia, with his Brother to find the plane. But the difficult terrain and bad weather put an end to their expedition, forcing them to give up on their search. On Google Maps, the alleged MH370 coordinates are 12°05'20"n 104°09'05"e.
What was the Mystery?
On March 8, 2014, Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 flying from Kuala Lumpur to China’s Beijing suddenly got lost and disappeared from the radar.

The Boeing 777, carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members, lost contact just 40 minutes after takeoff and vanished over the South China Sea.
One of the largest and most expensive surface searches in aviation history was conducted by the Malaysian government in the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca.
Satellites detected electronic blips, however, which showed the aircraft had circled, continued until its fuel ran out, and then crashed into the Indian Ocean between Antarctica and Western Australia.
Families and investigators are still left without closure because, despite intensive search efforts over the past ten years, no conclusive debris or evidence explaining the plane's fate has been found.
Moreover, new conspiracy theories are coming out like alien abductions and North Korea’s involvement or even insurance scams. People are imagining their own theories of what exactly happened to its passengers and crew, as there is no concrete evidence.
But Has the Mystery Really Solved? Claims Debunked
The claims about the location of MH370 by Wilson have been debunked. Aviation experts and officials have expressed doubts about the plausibility of the discovery. Why?
- Numerous prior sightings and theories, often based on satellite imagery, have been debunked upon closer investigation.
- The dense Cambodian jungle and the resolution limitations of Google Maps imagery further complicate the validation of Wilson's claims.
- Moreover, experts argue that a crash site in such a remote area would likely have left a more discernible impact on the dense forest canopy, which would be visible even in low-resolution satellite images.
- The official investigation, which included extensive analysis of satellite data and debris drift patterns, strongly suggests that the aircraft's final resting place is in the southern Indian Ocean.
- A report from Newsweek in September last year debunking, confirming the presence of a plane in images provided by Maxar Technologies. These images, dating back to January 1, 2004, long before the disappearance of MH370 in 2014, do not support Wilson's assertions.
- Over the years, a few pieces of debris from MH370 have washed up on islands in the Indian Ocean, but no significant debris has been found to provide conclusive evidence about the plane’s final moments.
Search Renewed By Ocean Infinity
Deep-sea exploration specialist Ocean Infinity, based in Texas, has taken a significant step. Ocean Infinity unveiled a "fresh" search plan for the southern Indian Ocean in March of this year, which is thought to be the crash site of MH370.
The business has formally proposed a "no-cure, no-fee" agreement to the Malaysian government. According to this creative strategy, the Malaysian government would only be responsible for covering search expenses in the event that Ocean Infinity finds the MH370 debris.
In 2018, the Malaysian government hired Ocean Infinity to conduct a second search on a "no find, no fee" basis following surface searching. That didn't work out. Malaysia has repeatedly stated that unless there was "new and credible information," it would not launch a new search.
Conclusion, Many Amateur Tech and Aviation Analysts have come up with their own claims and evidence surrounding this greatest aviation Mystery, but their credibility is still questionable. Now with ‘fresh search’ by Ocean Infinity is set to initiate, hope has taken a surge but still this Mystery is very far from being ‘solved’.
