New Data From the Sea
A newly recovered drifter buoy from Mauritius shows for the first time how barnacles like the ones found on MH370's flaperon grow during more than two years at sea. The new data suggests a new methodology for determining how long the debris floated in the sea -- and whether it's plausible that the plane really did crash land in the remote ocean.

The Final 1 Percent
The ocean is vast -- but the range of possible places that MH370 could be is limited, constrained by evidence and the plane's performance. Today's experiment lets us define that area, and thereby determine just how much effort it would take to solve the case once and for all.

MH370: Where Is It?
The ocean is huge, but the range of places that MH370 could be is tightly constrained, and recent searches have made it even smaller. Today we discuss where the noose has tightened down to, and where Ocean Infinity will look.

"We Found One Plane, We Can Find MH370"
If you want to find an airliner on the seabed, you could do worse than to talk to someone who's already done. I interview underwater search expert Tony Romeo about how he used a high-tech submersible to locate a long-missing Pan Am airliner in the sea off Puerto Rico, and why he thinks he can do the same for MH370.

'We Found an Airliner on the Seabed!'
A Pan Am airliner lay on the seabed near Puerto Rico for more than 70 years until Russ Matthews and his team located it. He tells us how they did it.

I join MH370 podcast "Sit Down with Sid" for a no-holds-barred discussion about my research and the hostile reception it has gotten in some quarters. Am I, as some have claimed, a conspiracy theorist?

The Search for MH370 is Back On -- AGAIN!
The search for MH370 is back on. In a stunning new development Malaysia’s Ministry of Transport announced on Monday, June 29, 2026 that it had reauthorized the seabed search for MH370 by Ocean Infinity.

The Other Vanished Airliner
MH370 isn't the only airliner that has vanished over the open ocean, never to be found. "Unfound” podcast host Ed Dentsel and I discuss the mysterious case of the missing Fawcett Peru 727, which disappeared en route to Newfoundland in 1990.

How To Cyberjack a 777 (Imagining the Impossible, part 3)
Today, a major development in the disappearance of MH370: I show how a crucial 777 cyber vulnerability that search officials had believed to be impossible, is in fact quite readily exploitable. I’m joined by 777 pilot and YouTuber John Waters to show you in detail exactly how it works in a real aicraft.

MH370 Vulnerability Exposed (Imagining the Impossible, part 2)
In the wake of MH370's disappearance 12 years ago today, investigators convinced themselves that the Inmarsat data could not possibly have been tampered with, and that therefore they could place their confidence in the search area calculated from that data. Today we understand that the search area is empty, and that the 777 had a wide-open cyber vulnerability that left the Inmarsat data susceptible to tampering by sophisticated attackers.

MH370 Physical Evidence (Imagining the Impossible, part 1)
When a flaperon washed ashore La Réunion in 2015, it provided the first physical evidence as the fate of the missing airliner. The sealife growing on it held out promise of revealing where the plane had gone, but had been so little studied that no one could say for sure what it meant. Today, we understand them much better thanks to my global drifter project. They flatly contradict many official assumptions.

What the Government Doesn't Want You to Know [S2Ep51 audio]
With the latest round of seabed search suspended after a fairly miniscule of progress, there’s a lot of frustration right now about the search for MH370. A lot of people just can’t believe that, in this day and age, countries like the United States and Australia, which have some of the most advanced technology in the world available to them, can’t find a 200 foot long airplane with 239 people aboard.One of the most frequent comments I get is, “I can’t believe that the government doesn’t know whe

Seabed Search Wrap-up [S2Ep50 audio]
It’s Sunday, February 8, and Armada 86 05 has set sail from Gage Roads near Perth Australia, and is not heading back out to the search area, as many had hoped, but is instead sailing for the Pacific, putting the search for MH370 back on ice. Some have speculated online that Ocean Infinity stopped looking because they found the wreckage; I’ll unpack why that is probably not the case, and will look at what lies ahead in the search for MH370. I’ll also unpack the mystery of a long telephone call th

Search Week 4: One Mystery Solved, Another Emerges
Phase 2 of the seabed search for MH370 has ended, as Ocean Infinity’s search ship pulls its robot subs from the water and hands for port. In today’s episode we’ll talk about what they accomplished in the fourth week of their seabed scan and what lies ahead for future searches. We’ll also solve a mystery that cropped up in last week’s episode and see what we can make of a new one — namely, what entries in an Australian port schedule can tell us about Ocean Infinity’s plans.

New Search: Week 3 Results [S2Ep48 audio]
Last week we expected that the scan of the seabed was about to take a short-term break, as Ocean Infinity’s research ship, Armada 86 05, was scheduled to return to port the very next day. Well, right after that episode dropped Ocean Infinity changed its plans, and its arrival data in Fremantle was changed from January 20 to January 29. This was definitely a welcome change, as it’s always a good thing if Ocean Infinity is going to spend more time on station scanning the seabed. But unfortunately,

New Search: Week 2 Results [S2Ep47 audio]
Ocean Infinity has completed its second week of searching the seabed of the southern Indian Ocean for the missing Malaysian airliner, MH370, and it’s making good progress. But Armada 86 05, while a modern ship with state-of-the-art technology, isn’t really equipped to keep a substantial crew of mariners out at sea for very long, and the word on the street is that it will have to return to port very soon. In today’s episode we look at the area that it appears to have scanned, look ahead to the fu

New Search: Week 1 Results [S2Ep46 audio]
The marine survey vessel Armada 86 05 has been back out on station, resuming the search for MH370. Things haven’t gone entirely smoothly. The ship did a couple days’ worth of scanning, had to go on standby for a couple of days due to bad weather before deploying its deep-scanning robot subs once more. We happen to know more about the details of the search than we usually do because lately the company doing the search, Ocean Infinity, has been been unusually communicative with the families of the
