After a short break following the conclusion of Deep Dive: MH370 season one, founder and host Andy Tarnoff is back to explain what is coming next on the new Deep Dive Podcast Network.

In the season one finale of Deep Dive: MH370, Jeff and Andy recap what they discovered over the last 30 episodes of the podcast.While they prep for season two, expect new and different content during their break. And get ready to learn more about alternate theories, conversations with relatives of the passengers, unreleased information on the Russians on board the plane ... and much more!Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/join

In Episode 30, Jeff and Andy go deeper than they've ever gone before on a question that's the crux of the whole MH370 mystery. It's a topic which is newly important because a bunch of viral MH370 videos have come out that spend a lot of time discussing it and, they'll argue, are getting it wrong.To help with this important task, the podcast invited a very special guest, Juan Browne, an experienced airline pilot and the host of the popular aviation channel Blancolirio on YouTube.More information at the Deep Dive show page: https://www.deepdivemh370.com/p/30-a-777-pilot-weighs-in Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/join Many thanks to Juan Browne: https://www.youtube.com/@blancolirio

In Episode 27, Jeff and Andy told you where MH370 could've have landed had it been flown north to Kazakhstan. But the question remains, why?It doesn't make much sense, unless you understand the man who makes the decisions in Russia, and how he sees the world.More information at: https://deepdivemh370.comJoin this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/join

How do you make something disappear? Nobody understands that better than practitioners of the ancient art of stage magic, who for centuries have used the principles of applied psychology to make seemingly impossible things occur. In today's episode Jeff talks to Ed Dentsel, host of the Unfound podcast, who for years worked as the stage manager for a magic show in Las Vegas, helping magicians perfect their routines. In the second half of the show we discuss the viral video about MH370 produced by the popular YouTuber Mentour Pilot, and in particular its discussion of a supposed new technology called WSPR whose inventor claims can pinpoint the exact flight path of the plane on its fatal last leg.

If the satcom was hacked and MH370 was taken north, the perpetrators presumably had a plan that ended with them alive, and this presumably involved landing the plane at an airport.But which airport could they have landed at?In Episode 27, Jeff and Andy dig in to realistic runways near the 7th Arc, including Kyzylorda, Shymkent, Taraz, Almaty and Manas. They also explore a mysterious dirt patch at Yubileyniy, the longest runway in Kazakhstan. It was built in the 1970s as the landing site for the Buran space plane, the Soviet Union's answer to the Space Shuttle.

After they mathematically analyzed the Inmarsat data to figure out where MH370 ran out of fuel in the southern Indian Ocean, the Australian government hired a Dutch maritime survey company called Fugro to search 23,000 square miles. The work started in October, 2014. By that April, 2015 it was clear that the plane was not in fact in the search area, so they doubled the size and asked Fugro to keep going.Ten years after the plane went missing, there's new talk of restarting the search again ... but if so, would they look in the right place?More information at our episode show page here:https://www.deepdivemh370.com/26-restarting-the-searchJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/join

Episode 25 of the podcast – a culmination of six months of content – reveals two major capstones that leaves Jeff and Andy confident to announce that they solved the mystery of MH370. Maybe not all the details ... yet ... but in broad strokes. Two key pieces of evidence, backed by experts, demonstrates that this place didn't crash in the South Indian Ocean.Don't believe the new evidence? We invite you to analyze it yourself.On the 10th anniversary of the disappearance of MH370, this is big.Details and more on our episode show page here: https://www.deepdivemh370.com/24-breakthrough-part-2And thanks to our Episode 25 sponsor, Ditch GPS: https://ditchnavigation.comJoin this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/join

Over the next two episodes, we're going to reveal a major break in the case — new data that upends our understanding the case. It's the first significant break in the case since the final report in 2017.But before we do that, we have to set the stage. For the data to have meaning, you have to understand its context. It has to do with a method of dating events that occurred in the past, involving Lepas barnacles. The idea is that Lepas barnacles can be used as a robust and reliable way to measure how long debris has been in the water. Combined with drift modeling, it can tell you when and where something went in the water. In the case of MH370, it can tell us what happened to the plane.Even more details at our show page here: https://www.deepdivemh370.com/24-breakthrough-part-1 Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/join

For those following the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 and had already suspected pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah of hijacking the plane, killing his passengers and himself – the discovery of data on his home flight simulator was the smoking gun.Out of some 600 saved routes on his PC, one resembled the flight that allegedly ended in the South Indian Ocean on March 8, 2014. Except the routes between the satellite-data-backed projected flight path and Zaharie's simulated course didn't match up in many important ways. Was it a training run for mass murder-suicide, or just an eerie coincidence made by a man who didn't fit the psychological profile of a criminal with that kind of a murderous capacity?As usual, it depends how you see the mystery. In Episode 23, Jeff Wise and Andy Tarnoff break it down and recreate the evidence to explore the key similarities and differences between flight and flight simulator.Even more details at our show page, here: https://www.deepdivemh370.com/23-the-flight-simulatorEpisode 23 is sponsored by OnMilwaukee.com, an award-winning independent local media company based in Milwaukee, Wis.

Part one of the process of figuring out the mystery of MH370 is finding explanations for the previously inexplicable things that happened. Part two is trying to verify whether those explanations hold water.In Episode 10, Andy and Jeff talked about a theory that MH370's specific vulnerabilities could've led to a hacking that not only allowed hijackers to take the plane north, but how it would've helped them cover their tracks.In Episode 22, they revisit this topic with a renowned ethical "white hat" hacker, Ken Munro of the Pen Test Partners in the UK. He talks about whether this Boeing 777 could've been hacked – and if he thinks it really was.Also, Andy shares his theory on what happened to MH370, an opinion accumulated after six months working on the Deep Dive podcast.Thanks to our Episode 22 sponsor, Finnished MKE.

It's a story that reads like the plot of reality show. Self-styled adventurer, former State Department employee, self-proclaimed fluent Russian speaker, Blaine Alan Gibson, found dozens of pieces from the doomed Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370. Sometimes with a camera crew in tow. Often in places that had been extensively scoured with a fine-tooth comb.Was Gibson the luckiest adventure seeker ever? Was he a Russian spy? Listen as Jeff and Andy play never-before-heard interviews with Blaine and a Russian "friend" who allegedly met Gibson when he was "in Siberia on business trips." If nothing else, Gibson's resumé seems a little too good to be true.Or is it?Whether or not you believe Jeff's theory that this wreckage was planted and conveniently found by Gibson, his peculiar back story definitely raises some questions.Video version here: https://youtu.be/R53NGXxlYToEven more information at our show page at https://deepdivemh370.com.Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUXIrQ2rO5B_z-AEpjmKaAw/join

“Lepas don't lie,” says Jim Carlton, one of the world's leading experts in marine invertebrates. This week Andy and Jeff tried something we haven't done before, incorporating an interview with a subject expert into our discussion of the MH370 evidence. In this case, Jim helps us try to understand how it could be that a piece of aircraft debris could float across the ocean in the way that Australian authorities assumed, with Lepas barnacles growing on a section that stuck up high into the air. (Spoiler alert: it couldn't.) Jim also explains some other puzzling aspects of the debris. The upshot is that when we look at the marine growth on all the pieces of MH370 debris, it just doesn't tell us the story we'd expect if the plane had crashed into the 7th arc search zone in March 2014. Once again, the closer we look at the evidence, the stranger the tale seems to become.

For half a year after MH370's right-hand flaperon washed ashore on La Réunion, no other pieces of aircraft debris turned up. Was that remarkable piece a one-off? And then, suddenly, everyting changed. The following February an American adventure-seeker named Blaine Alan Gibson found a trianguler piece of a with the words “No Step” on a sandbar in Mozambique. Experts confirmed that it, too, came from MH370. In an instant, Gibson became famous around the world, and his examples inspired others to look more carefully at coastlines in the western Indian Ocean. In short order another half-dozen had been turned in, several of them encrusted with marine organisms that could help scientists figure out where they drifted from. As they confronted all this new data, however, search officials found them grappling with some puzzles. At first, they couldn't figure out how the flaperon had floated to La Réunion in the time in had—and once they resolved that problem to their satisfaction, they realized they were even more perplexed by the arrival of a piece of one of the engines in South Africa. Was there something about these pieces that they didn't understand?Thanks to our Episode 19 sponsor, Jacob John.

On July 29, 2015, a worker in the French territory of Réunion Island discovered MH370's flaperon, the first confirmed piece of wreckage from the missing plane. It seemed like case closed, that the doomed plane crashed near the seventh arc in the Indian Ocean. But not everything added up. Between reverse drift models and sea life that was growing inconsistently on the debris, it raised the question: are we 100% sure that flaperon came from where authorities suspected?

So far in this podcast we've spent each episode diving into a particular aspect of the mystery. This time, we're taking a different approach. We're pulling back to look at the mystery from a global perspective in order to address the question: What is this case like? Just as every person has a unique character, a mystery can have a personality of its own, and MH370 certainly does. The dominant feature of that personality is strangeness. Time and again, a piece of evidence emerges which changes what we understand about the case – but then it turns out the evidence itself contains mysteries that themselves need to be elucidated. In today's episode, we look at five of the most striking examples of this phenomena. Together, they raise the question: why is the MH370 like this? Is it just a matter of coincidence, or is there some underlying aspect of the case that keeps pulling it toward the unexpected? For more info, visit our show page at DeepDiveMH370.com.

By mid-2015, the search for MH370 had entered a kind of limbo. The designated seabed search area had been scanned without success. So what evidence was there that the plane had really gone south? Attention turned to the topic of floating debris and where it might be found. If the plane had impacted the ocean in the way the Inmarsat data implied — namely, with catastrophic velocity — then there should be many thousands of pieces of wreckage floating on the surface. Oceanographers turned to the science of drift modeling, which can produce probabilistic models of where floating objects in any given stretch of ocean might go. It seemed like the most likely place for stuff to wash ashore was going to be the western shore of Australia, where thousands of beachcombers waited expectantly. They were disappointed. But then a stunning discovery emerged thousands of miles away. For more info and for the video version of this podcast, visit our show page at https://www.deepdivemh370.com/p/episode-16-debris

Seven months after MH370 disappeared, ships leased from the Dutch maritime survey company Fugro were at last ready to begin searching the seabed that Australian scientists had defined using data mysteriously transmitted from the aircraft during its final six hours. Fugro's ships faced a daunting task: searching a vast area, far from land, where abyssal plains and steep-walled canyons lay concealed beneath three miles of water. The search authorities were confident that success was right around the corner — at least at first. But as days turned to months turned to years without any sign of the missing plane, they began to wonder if they had made a mistake. Had one of their assumptions been wrong? Was it possible the plane wasn't in the underwater search area? And if so, where else could it have gone? More info at deepdivemh370.com.

If MH370 didn't fly into the southern Indian Ocean but instead wound up in Kazakhstan, that implied that Russia was behind a sophisticated hijacking plot. Intrigued by the presence on the flight manifest of three Russian-speaking passengers, Jeff had already hired researchers in Russia and Ukraine to look into their background when he learned on July 17, 2014, that one of MH370's 14 sister aircraft, a 777 operating as Flight MH17, had been shot down over eastern Ukraine. Jeff immediately suspected a possible link between the fate of the two flights, but at first, aviation experts and political pundits alike were convinced that the shoot-down had been a mistake and could not possibly have been connected to MH370's vanishing. In time, however, powerful evidence emerged that undermined those early assumptions. More info at deepdivemh370.com. The video version of this episode can be found here: https://youtu.be/cf0lcbSNPAg

Careful analysis of satellite signals sent from MH370 to Inmarsat indicated that the plane had flown into a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean. But another possibility existed. The equipment that MH370 carried and the circumstances under which it operated together created a potential vulnerability that sophisticated hijackers could have exploited to make the plane appear to have flown south when it really headed north. If that occurred, then the plane would have flown instead to the northwest, over India, Nepal, China, and Kyrgyzstan before winding up in Kazakhstan. In today's episode we discuss the details of the plane's possible northern route, and explore whether it could have flown all that way without being detected by military radar.

Once the scientists at CSIRO had generated the probability distribution for the plane's last known location on the 7th arc, the next question they had to answer was: how far did the plane travel from that point before it impacted the water? As we've discussed previously, their goal was to define a search box within which the plane was likely to be found. The plane's location along the 7th arc defined the length of the rectangle, and the distance it could have traveled from the 7th arc would define the width of the search box. So the question of how far the plane could have flown after the last transmission depends on what the investigators thought was going on with the plane at that moment. They decided that, based on the nature of the Inmarsat signals, the plane had mostly run out of fuel and had already started its inevitable descent into the ocean. But had it plummeted steeply, or taken a long, gradual glide? More information at deepdivemh370.com.

In episode 11 of the podcast, Jeff and Andy discuss the elephant in the room: who are they to speculate on the mystery of missing Malaysia Air Flight MH370? They talk about their unique backgrounds, what brought them together for this podcast, as well as how the Bayesian Method provided authorities to look for the plane where they did.

In what's sure to be the most controversial episode of the series so far, Jeff and Andy delve into the question of whether MH370 might have had a previously unrecognized security backdoor. In the months after the disappearance, a series of surprising facts emerged which, taken together, raised the possibility that the Inmarsat data guiding the official search might not be as infalliably trustworthy as previously assumed. One Independent Group member even identified a specific parameter in the plane's Satellite Data Unit which, if switched, would make the plane look like it was going south when it was really going north. Whether or not this vulnerability was exploited, its existence means that there was now a second lens through which the evidence of the case could be viewed.Do you think that this back door is a flat-out impossibility that should be discarded alongside theories of UFOs and black holes? Or a plausible hypothesis that needs to be explored further?

Within weeks after the disappearance of MH370, one theory of its disappearance had come to the fore: that one of the pilots had seized control of the plane and flown it on a prolonged and sophisticated murder-suicide mission into the southern Indian Ocean. Nothing like it had ever happened before, but there seemed no other way to easily explain the picture that had emerged from the Inmarsat data. So who were these men? In today's episode we'll look at what friends and family said about Captain Zaharie Ahmad Shah and First Officer Fariq Abdul Hamid and what traces could be found of them on social media. Based on what we've found, do you think one of them is a cold-blooded mass murderer? Let us know in the comments.

From the first day MH370 went missing, it was the subject of an intense surface search. Planes, ships and satellites scoured millions of square kilometers of ocean, first in the South China Sea, then in the Andaman Sea, then in the remote southern Indian Ocean. Not a single piece was ever spotted. Today we're going to talk about how the search went down, and what we might conclude from its failure to find any debris. We'll also discuss a new discovery that Jeff made while researching today's episode, and revisit a strange coda to the search, that involved an attempt to find the plane by listening for audible pings from the plane's black boxes.
