Can South Africa Solve The Mystery Of MH 370?

Aviation disasters are nothing new in the course of history. There’s always been an odd case here and there that has led to an unprecedented loss of lives. At the end of it all, aircrafts too are machines. Machines can lead to a tad bit of unpredictability. But in recent times, no aviation tragedy comes even remotely close to matching the ill-fated events that were seen in the case of the alleged disappearance of MH- 370.

Truth be told, who would’ve thought that there would not only be a crash of such epic proportions, according to the several trickles of debris found in its aftermath, but that not a single passenger aboard the disastrous Malaysian flight would be traced- till date.

Even as there have been multiple deliberations about the flight that either lost its path and hung somewhere in limbo or was gunned down on its way from Kuala Lampur to Beijing, theorists haven’t completely rejected the claims that MH 370 and its passengers might be found one day. But whether that happens or not, truth certainly is that among all countries South Africa might hold key to discover the missing trail in the investigation of the disappearance of MH 370. Yes, you read that right.

In the words of a US native, Blaine Gibson who works as a lawyer and is an adventurer in leisure time, South Africa might hold key information in solving 21st century’s greatest aviation mystery. The gentleman had apparently launched his own investigation into the mysterious events straddling the Malaysian airliner. Earlier this week, Gibson shared that the debris that was found by South Africans has already proven to be very valuable in narrowing down the search. Gibson believes that it is all thanks to the efforts of South Africa that the search into the missing plane is being renewed.

It is believed that the debris found on the African coastline indicates that the crash site is further north. Gibson’s search for clues has led him to Mozambique and Madagascar wherein he found some debris from the missing plane on a sandbar off the Madagascar coast. In his interaction with an Australian oceanographer- who had done drift analysis- told him that most places that debris would wash up, would be on the eastern coastlines of South Africa. Even though none of the passenger aboard MH 370 were South African, the new search with South Africa playing an imperative role could finally lead to conclusive evidence as to what exactly happened to missing airliner- a tragedy that has engulfed an entire world in amazement.
