Eight years after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared, authorities have come to no firm conclusions about why and exactly where the airplane went down. Theories abound on both counts. The search for the Boeing 777’s probable last resting place at the bottom of the southern Indian Ocean has proved long, complicated, and expensive. So when a British engineer claimed recently to have devised a new method of locating the last airborne moments of MH370 more precisely, and hence the location of the wreckage, new headlines about the extraordinary disappearance have re-emerged. The trouble is other investigators who have devoted much time and expertise to the matter do not find his method credible.
