Channel 7 Australia will broadcast the new BBC documentary "Why Planes Vanish: The Hunt for MH370" which is outstanding and shines a light on the facts surrounding the loss of the Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 and 239 souls ten years ago.
The documentary to be shown at 8.30 pm Sunday, March 10, local time across the country, focuses just on facts, the extensive debris found and the work of aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey and his revolutionary tracking of MH370.
The disappearance of Flight MH370 is the greatest mystery in aviation. Many questions the families of the missing passengers and crew had on the night the plane vanished have still not been answered.
Sadly a raft of documentaries and over 120 books have spread countless bizarre conspiracy theories for which there is not one shred of evidence.
The documentary features interviews with relatives of the missing, aviation experts, former Malaysian Airlines employees, as well as current and former pilots and unpicks other commercial aviation incidents to try and piece together what may have happened to MH370.
Key interview subjects are British aerospace engineer Richard Godfrey (below) and wreck hunter Blaine Gibson. Mr Godfrey discusses his WSPR tracking technology and the documentary introduces excellent graphics to illustrate how it works.
Mr Gibson, (below) a retired US Lawyer, talks about his motivation to both find the debris and encourage others to hand it in. Mr Gibson has found more pieces (7) than anyone, while another 34 pieces have been handed in.
