Independent investigator Ian Wilson told Daily Star Online that he was trying to find debris from MH370 on Google Earth three years after he claimed to have discovered it on the app. The independent investigator also claimed the MH370 fragment could still be seen on Google Maps many years after he first discovered it.
British "MH370 Hunter" Ian Wilson searched for a Malaysia Airlines plane in the Cambodian jungle last year after he claimed to have discovered a Boeing 777-200 using the application.
Daily Star Online understands from Google that it is a plane that is scanned when it is in flight.
But Wilson, insisting: "I am on Google Earth a lot, that’s part of my job, I saw the planes when I did my job and they are not like that. I am very confident. that I would have found the MH370, but did not achieve it because the terrain was too complicated. "
Wilson believes that he correctly identified the missing MH370.
Wilson added: "I understand that the actual search may not be possible, but you can still see MH370 on Google Maps while things around the MH370 area have changed so its images are still available on the app. Google apps that haven’t changed since 3 years after I first saw them. The latest update is at the bottom of the app, the map of the highlighted area in 2019 ".
Wilson said he first discovered the image in 2016, but it actually appeared in a shared YouTube video in May 2014, just a few months after the device. flew missing on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing in March of that year. Others think it could be an old fighter jet, though the Aviation Safety Network told us that it didn’t fit the record of any incidents.
Wilson’s theory was also disputed by MH370 investigators claiming that the debris thought to be from MH370 has been washed away on islands including Reunion Island and Mauritius since its disappearance.
This supports the conventional theory from investigators that it crashed into the western ocean of Australia after running out of fuel, with a suicide pilot hypothesis considered to be the most plausible explanation.
And their theory came after extensive satellite analysis. But Wilson still plans to visit the site in Cambodia, although last year’s mission was so risky that it almost took the lives of Wilson and his brother Jack.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370 went missing on March 8, 2014, on a flight schedule from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. Official investigation concluded that MH370 continued flying for about 7 hours after it disappeared from civil air traffic control. It is believed that MH370 turned 180 degrees and flew into the Malacca Strait, then turned southward through the Indian Ocean, before eventually running out of fuel and falling into the ocean.
