Applying expert insight to understand the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370
Curated by: Jeff Wise (66 videos)
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 I join Aaron Murphy at the uFly flight simulator near Toronto, Ontario to find out the absolute maximum distance it’s possible to glide a 777 after fuel exhaustion. That, in turn will let us set the boundaries on the universe of all possible place the plane could be. Not just where it’s likely to be, but where it definitely has to be, assuming in went into the ocean in the first place. If we search out this whole area, we’re guaranteed to find the plane. Or else to prove that investigator’s ironclad assumptions about the case were wrong from the start. 00:00 The Mystery of MH370's disappearance 06:49 Setting up the flight simulator 11:06 Flameout!
