FOR over a decade, the wreckage of the missing passenger plane MH370 has remained lost - but one man believes that's because investigators are looking in the wrong place. Malaysian authorities announced last week a new £55million search for the missing jet - raising hopes the wreck would be found 10 years after it vanished.

They are set to scour a new search area in the southern Indian Ocean with robot submarines and underwater microphones. But American journalist Jeff Wise, who has made it his life's mission to solve the world's biggest aviation mystery, said officials are looking in the wrong place.

Wise has dedicated years of his life to solve what happened to the Malaysian Airlines flight after it vanished with 239 on board. On March 8th 2014 at 12.41 am, flight MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur Airport, bound for Beijing, a flight that was considered routine.

By 1.21 am, the plane had vanished from radar as it crossed into Vietnamese airspace and was never seen again. The plane’s disappearance sparked the biggest search in aviation history and to this day the wreckage of the jet, presumed to have crashed in the Southern Indian Ocean, remains undiscovered.
Many theories have emerged in the ten years since it vanished, including the possibility of a depressurised cabin sparking a ghost flight into oblivion or a suicidal pilot carrying out a perfect ditching. The official MH370 narrative suggests the plane made a bizarre U-turn, flying across Malaysia, turning northwest at Penang Island and across the Andaman Sea.
