Australian scientist claims he has figured the location of missing MH370 plane

The plane had vanished from the radar after taking off from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people on board in 2014.

The incident had resulted in the biggest search in aviation history with the whereabouts of the jet unknown till date.

In a LinkedIn post, Tasmanian researcherm, Vincent Lyne claimed that the plane was delibrately ploughed deep into the Broken Ridge- a 20,000 feet-deep hole in the Indian Ocean, reported NDTV.

"This work changes the narrative of MH370's disappearance from one of no-blame, fuel-starvation at the 7th arc, high-speed dive, to a mastermind pilot almost executing an incredible perfect-disappearance in the Southern Indian Ocean," the researcher wrote.

"In fact, it would have worked were it not for MH370 ploughing its right wing through a wave, and the discovery of the regular interrogation satellite communications by Inmarsat - a brilliant discovery also announced in the Journal of Navigation," he added.

Mr Lyne, who works at the University of Tasmania's Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies, said that damage to the plane's wings, flaps and flaperon suggest it was involved in a "controlled ditching" similar to that of Captain Chesley "Sully" Sullenberger on the Hudson River in 2009.

"This justifies beyond doubt the original claim, based on brilliant, skilled, and very careful debris-damage analyses, by decorated ex-Chief Canadian Air-crash Investigator Larry Vance, that MH370 had fuel and running engines when it underwent a masterful 'controlled ditching' and not a high-speed fuel-starved crash," Mr Lyne wrote.

As per Lyne, the MH370 is "where the longitude of Penang airport intersects the Pilot-in-Command home simulator track, discovered and discarded by the FBI and officials as 'irrelevant.'

"That pre-meditated iconic location harbors a very deep 6000m hole at the eastern end of the Broken Ridge within a very rugged and dangerous ocean environment renowned for its wild fisheries and new deep-water species. With narrow steep sides, surrounded by massive ridges and other deep holes, it is filled with fine sediments - a perfect 'hiding' place," Mr Lyne continued, adding the area needs to be verified as a "high priority."

Lyne's profile suggests he has been working on the missing case of MH370 for years and has been posting different scientific studies and evidence regarding the missing plane.
