Default Doomed flight MH370 'found' in darkest part of Cambodian jungle' on Google Maps

If this turns out to be true then many families will be able to come to some form of closure.

A tech expert from the UK claimed he spotted the doomed MH370 plane on Google Maps.

Ian Wilson believes remains of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, which vanished carrying 239 people en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, lie strewn deep in a jungle in Cambodia. He said: "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."

The ill-fated plane flight took off from the Malaysian capital on March 8, 2014, with 227 passengers on board and 12 crew. But it disappeared during a handover between Malaysian and Vietnamese air-traffic controllers with the transponder shut down.

Mr Wilson said: "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."

Investigators have worked extensively since the plane vanished. However, despite releasing a 1,500-page report, they admitted they still cannot say what happened. And the Bureau of Aircraft Investigations Archives said they could not rule out the Google Maps sighting – dating 2018 on Google Earth – being MH370.

Academics in Florida also believe that temperature data held by barnacles found on parts of the plane's debris may provide the answer. It is thought that this could help track the movements of the sea creatures all the way back to when they first attached themselves to MH370.

Gregory Herbert, an associate professor of evolutionary biology at the University of South Florida in the city of Tampa, led the new study after seeing photos of the plane debris - specifically a flaperon - washed up on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean a year after it disappeared.

He said, "As soon as I saw that, I immediately began sending emails to the search investigators because I knew the geochemistry of their shells could provide clues to the crash location," reports MailOnline. Because barnacles grow their shells daily it means that the chemistry of each layer can be determined by the temperature of the water at the time.

It doesn't look like it's in too bad of a condition. Imagine if many lived and either waited for rescue, or tried to hike out. Has the makings of a real Donner Party type story.

The same type of people that use doctored photos to claim energy weapons from space started the fire in Hawaii.

And why not? By those “type of people” do you include official government sources and congressional investigations reporting alien technologies piloted by non-human beings buzzing around the skies too?
