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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

“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.
