I remember pointing out, that each of the different search crews spread out in the search area, would turn on the test tones of their 30khz black box detectors, as they set them up, & those test tones would be confused with the actual black boxes' 30khz tone, causing mass confusion, long enough for the black box batteries to run out. Maybe, I was right?
congratulations captain Petter from capt Pat! good job!😊
your channel is so fascinating i swear
Please do the Uberlingen Tragedy DHL611 and BTC 2937 mid air collision . Thank you
Airplane companies gonna Epstein you soon
Embarrassing what one man can do compared to a whole Netflix production team, this was top class.
I don't think Petter works on his own
Netflix is paid to conceal
Encouraging I would say
This is probably not a one-man team, given Petter also has a full-time job, but I still love watching independent creators put big-money documentaries to shame.
Netflix is entertainment, not factual reporting. So it might not be comparable.
This is better than what Netflix produced on the mh370
Yeha that one sucked
agreed. we should get mentor 1 million dollar payday
Netflix documentaries are horrendous
Barely
👏🏿 👏🏿
No joke, with 0 knowledge on aeronautical stuff, I am still amazed how good you explain things. It doesn't feel like I am in an unwanted conversation.
Same here and I'm just a scullery maid! EXCELLENT MAN! Most excellent! :-) (Canada)
@@MARYBOORMANCanada? I'm sorry to hear that :(
I heard it implied in another video that maybe Malaysia doesn't want this plane found cuz it would make them look bad? Also I heard that this pilot had a simulator at his home and he practiced this scenario? Also he had some political statement he wanted to make?
@@patriciaodonnell4239all correct
I find it fascinating the pilot had the ability to turn off the SAT and cellular communications. Hopefully, this function has been modified to prevent this from happening again.
I am from India, Mizoram State, and it is in the northeastern region of India near Myanmar Border. The day MH370 crash some of the village people saw a plane crashing down in the sky near the Myanmar and India border. The definition and what they explain matches many from this, but at that time nobody was interested in their stories and what they see. But now, when I heard what they had saw on that day, I believe that may be what they saw in that day was a plane crashing down it was near India and Myanmar Border. (Sorry my English is not good enough, I think you can understand what I said)
Your English is very good sir and I agree, a plane crash must have happened. Since there was no areal satellite detection i I feel they couldn't detect when, if, or where the crash happened. Such a sad case, may these souls rest in paradise.
"Planes go up, planes go down, what planes don't do is vanish off the face of the earth"
Correct
@@MentourPilotcompare 1936 Nazi Germany Vs 2026 Communist Chinazi In Your Next Video before it's too late 😅
I mean they can. Turn off adsb and fly as far as you can away from where you turned it off.
@Orly90 That's not "vanished off the face of the earth," though. It's just vanished from radar.
Nope. Sometimes they just get washed over the edge of a reef and glide away to the deep water.
When MH370 disappeared I was a teenager and now I am an aerospace engineer. I've spent countless hours reading reports on the topic and watching documentaries - and still in this video I have learnt SEVERAL things I didn't know. Out of all the recent videos out there, you are the one who best dive into the details and gives Richard Godfrey the merit he and his team deserve. Your key insight on the radio transmissions based on your years of experience as an instructor pilot is also enormously valuable. Greatest hats off to you, over and over and over
My thoughts exactly; the radio transmission insight is absolutely fascinating, albeit frustrating.
I say the pilot launched it up into orbit.
> When MH370 disappeared I was a teenager and now I am an aerospace engineer. Filed under "comments to feel old to." 😅
It didn't disappear. It crashed into the ocean. Duh.
And still you don`t see that another search is pointless, as what do we expect to gain?
Some people from mizoram,india claim that they saw an airplane with smoke flew over them and fall around indian ocean during that time,and also heard from the NEWS that mh370 was missing later that evening.
The way you explained and edited everything is phenomenal
He explained nothing, just the official story. Cardiff researchers have analyzed the data and shown that a possible route could have been straight west/west-south-west. This would explain why Indonesian military (and civil) radar didn't notice anything despite turning around the tip around that country.
I flew into Beijing from Japan on the same day MH370 disappeared. The scene in the arrival areas was surreal. The crying - everything, I just couldn’t believe it. I can still see the arrivals board: MH370 - DELAYED; it was well, well past the scheduled arrival time. I think it was just after 11 when I arrived, MH370 was an early morning flight. Everyone knew at that point it was not arriving, ever. I’ll never forget that. It really stays with you.
J. Rothschild became the sole ownership of a patent defense microchip (CLOAKING) after the six or so chinese patent partners, and their business experts, all vanisheed on this flight; something smells fishy.🤫 Diego Garcia. MH370 & MH17 both lost same year in synchronized conspiracies (Intended). Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 crash: Was the cure for Aids lost along with Joep Lange and 100 top researchers? There are fears the cure for Aids could have been lost with 100 of the “best and brightest” scientists and researchers on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH17. Joep Lange, a world-renowned researcher and former president of the International Aids Society, was with the group heading to the global Aids 2014 conference in Melbourne, Australia. The exact number of scientists he was travelling with has not been confirmed but delegates in Sydney were told that emails indicted around 100 attendees were on the ill-fated plane.
@@Patriotic_Eagle1995 he's just sharing his experience? he obviously focused on the other people there, so i don't really get what you're trying to say
@@Patriotic_Eagle1995 So awesome to take someone’s actual relevant experience and then attempt to shame them for sharing it. Bizarre…
Thank you for sharing, that must have been difficult to witness for the memory of the arrivals board to stay with you
I can’t believe that so much advanced technology and so many military radars across the globe! You can just switch off one switch and just vanish?? And no could trace it and no radar could pick it up? So you’re telling me that we can just hijack a plane and switch off the plug and vanish 😢
Imagine if a Mentour video ends up being the catalyst to finding MH370 - absolutely fantastic.
And it can happen by the way
@@KakuruCaleb-uu2rh I recently saw a TV programme in the UK about this, though in less detail, which also ended with the Godfrey data. I think this does now warrant a new search. I was hoping Petter would do something about it, and this is an excellent video- better than the TV programme, which itself was good; the extra information was very interesting.
The wreckage of SATA Flight 730, a Sud Aviation Caravelle with the Swiss registration HB-ICK, crashed via a Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) while approaching Funchal Airport on the Island of Madeira (Portugal) on Dec 18th, 1977 with 36 Fatalities, but also 21 Survivors, was found only in October 2011 (!!!) after nearly 34 years of search, allthough the Aircraft was visible on the secondary radar the whole time until the crash, it happened nearby the Airport and 21 Survivors could tell more about the exact location of the crashsite. And now comparing with this Flight MH 370.
😂@@NicolaW72
@NicolaW72 this was into terrain, right ? This plane could easily have landed on the water, a snatch team removed the target, then the rest of the passengers & plane, were blown up. Just hypothetical thinking. But it seems so odd to me, that the pilot avoided so much scrutiny, to just comit suicide? Doesn't make sense. It DOES make sense, if the plane was controlled (avoiding scrutiny by military), then coming south, flying in a figure-of-8, looking for a ship, to hand off whatever. Person/persons/property. Then the plane was destroyed. I mean it makes much more sense, than a pilot committing suicide, turning off all the ACAS, Radar, everything,,flying for hours, just to die in the middle of open water... It's a real head scratcher. But I do believe it will be worked out. (Except if USA is involved. If they are involved, it will all be swept under the rug). Also, what he said about military probably had more data than they're willing to show, as it will give a rough location to where their mobile stations are located. I'd think it is better to give the families, peace of mind. But in international espionage- the public is never a consideration.
Beautifully produced video and the best seen on KZhead after all these years. An incredible work of respect for the families. Your detail is truly superb and this has answered so many questions for me.
Using the WSPR signal drift to track objects is legitimately incredibly cool, I would've never thought that could be possible with such precision, I would think it would be too wide of an area to matter very much. Their work is incredible!
This is without doubt the best ‘documentary’ I have seen on MH370. I understand two companies have approached the Malaysian govt to offer to search for the aircraft on a ‘no find, no fee’ basis and I sincerely hope they accept these offers. Too many families still need closure. Thank you Petter.
I actually think that things are moving.. thank you!
This is good. But in the interest of transparency, the entire contract offerred should be made public rather than be negotiated in secrecy. This is public money after all. The Malaysian government has a history of unskilled negotiations, resulting in contracts costing penalties when circumstances the negotiators did not anticipate or thought unlikely nevertheless comes about. It's not like the country had not wasted hundreds of millions of dollars in this way. And there's always a possibility of corruption when third world officials makes secret deals with first world companies. Confidence is not high.
Definitively, and I've seen a lot! - I'm so keen to get the answer to one of the biggest mysteries ever //
Petter, vad sägs om en video som förklarar varför ni envisas med att mäta allt med imperial istället för med metersystemet?
@@raskolnikov9067 Could be something as silly as its an american company made plane, but also curious to know.
It’s been 10 years already? I remember being obsessed with them finding this plane. The passengers families deserved more answers.
I think it has becomeobvious by now what happened was intentional. So it makes sense to look for possible motives, and that starts with who was on board. I think the most plausable motive to do such a sophisticated operation was to get rid of the 6 chinese shareholders of a semiconductor company that caused theshares to be transferred to one singe US shareholder. means.. The evidence is most likely in classified CIA files and whoever piloted the plane either lives under a different name somewhere in the US or is dead.
Everyone passes on. It's no where near as big of a deal as you're pushing.
@@oregonsdankOf course it's a huge deal. Planes should not be able to vanish like this especially deep in Southeast Asian airspace. It would be like a plane vanishing over the North Sea which is surrounded by countries. To lose a family member like that I'd wager would hurt a bit more than them passing on in other kinds of accidents
@@cloroxbleach9222 no one mentions the fact that there were actually 3 Maylasian 777's that disappeared in 2013. 2 more later that year.
@@oregonsdank not a big deal? What kind of narcissistic, self-absorbed freak are you? I'm sure it was a big deal to the thousands of family members of the passengers who had family members disappear without a trace or clue. No closure for these people.
This was nothing short of damn near impossibly incredible. Concise, well researched and intelligent-yet easily understood by your average bear. I learned so much from this amazing video that no other coverage of this case has managed to shed any light on. Sir, you have a new fan. (This is not Mike, but his on-again off-again forever problem love, Bella)
This is by far your best video. Well researched and put together...and of course with your very smooth and professional presentation.
The motive remains so strange. Extreme expert measures were taken to avoid detection, only for the goal to be an ocean crash. The 'why' of this whole thing is terrifyingly fascinating.
Humans are irrational
The person flying wanted their tomb to be undisturbed.
There are easier ways. BESIDES, That body is Hardy undisturbed.
Crazy, but any chance of a parachute down to a waiting vessel? Have all the passengers been investigated?
@@georgetrench2809 My thinking, that figure 8 seems like rendezvous point and considering the nature of some of the passangers... so strange.
Not a single conspirancy theory, no sentimentalisation, just repect for the families and facts... Far far better than a mega Netflix production. I was capable to follow it begin to end. You are the first channel I know that confirmed that someone was manually flying the plane, whoever did that was very disturbed. The families of those impacted deserve an answer. Hopefully their sorrow wont be that bad if they only know that those who passed did not suffer or were in agony...
The Channel “Green Dot Aviation” also confirmed that the airplane was operated manually.
To be fair, he didn't "confirm" anything But yes, this is the most detailed analysis I've seen and it's all backed up by actual data
Would you mind posting the timestamp? Thank you
We've known someone was flying manually since it happened.
There's no evidence of a hijacking or pilot suicide Someone turned off a tracker manually and purposely avoided rader What happened after that is the mystery
still one of the best channels on youtube! amazing work MP
You are right M. Poilot! That change of tone perked up my ear too...to the extent that I thought it was a whole other person that was now speaking. But you are right, it does seem like the tone of a person in the throes of concentrating hard on something. So, in effect, without pointing a finger, you have pointed it.....straight to the Captain. When it was first suggested that he could've been the culprit behind the whole terroristic act, the notion was quickly dismissed....possibly because it pointed Malaysia in a bad light. But when you painted the picture in the end how the airplane was bobbing between arcs and doing "figure 8s", something, all of a sudden, rather starkly stared me in the face that this was resembling the portrayal of a child doing willful acrobatics in the sky who was given full and free reign!! He was waiting for the fuel to run out so he could go down into the ocean at the exact point he had selected in preparation for his last "swan song"......a place he figured would be the least accessible in searches, and least likely detected. And did they not say he had looked at some of those markers at his home virtual set-ups?! I think he purposely chose to leave as few clues as possible such that when finally.....he figured the plane was bound to be located some day.....his family would've received all the compensation they were entitled to, and his ingenuity would finally be acknowledged. Hey, you never know!
The suicidal topic is only bla bla. Expectations only.
@@patriciaoudart1508 Yeah, I did think that after seeing Florence de Changy's interview online. And I got to thinking why would they have floated the theory of a fire in the cockpit at the offset ahead of many other causes for an electrical failure.....maybe the plane was actually accidentally shot down during during military exercises. Besides, the whole account after the plane went off the radars beyond Igari is based upon "their word'.....is there corroboration from many different sources on that account? Perhaps Ms. Florence ought to write a follow-up.
OR WHAT IF: THE “FIGURE 8’s” were someone LOOKING for a boat that is supposed to be in the area … to pick someone up… after they ditch in the ocean.. a somewhat controversial idea… more Hollywood than anything… but what the heck… I admit my idea is something out of a Tom Clancy novel … but we have two people with irregular passports… so, could it happen? Sure it could except something went wrong with timing… position… and they never got the chance to ditch and instead crashed. The crash part is verifiably with the debris found so far. Truth is we will never know if there is anything to this idea
That tone change in no way showed any fear, panic or change in personality. Just sounded abrupt, as if he was preoccupied with something else.
@@user-kq6gk3us9m So true.
In a horrible way the precision and knowledge it took to avoid detection for that long was impressive - only a few minuscule errors gave us crumbs that it made it to the Indian Ocean
Yes! I think about this a lot
That’s why this case is so curious. The motivation of the pilot is so crazy yet fascinating. The only conclusion I can determine is he was motivated by a sick form of performance art. He wanted to be a magician and pull off the most unthinkable trick. None of the typical motivations of personal, political, or professional have explanatory power to explain his actions (and lack thereof)
@@Sampsonoff The circumstances around this flight and to get any chance of answers is to find the aircraft. It is hard to imagine why anyone would intentionally do this, and the rumors and speculations, are for all just that, a mystery we need to do our best to solve. I wish peace and good fortune to all that's waiting for answers about their family and loved ones.
@@SampsonoffWhat if it was a hack? I am a programmer and I understand how computers work a little better then the average person so I watch a lot of in-depth technical interviews with various developer sand hackers.I was watching some older video of defcon presenters doing interviews and they mentioned rumors that some people know of a way to to take remote control of airliners. No one has ever given any proof since no one has public access to planes to test in a safe environment but its something that cant be ruled out and investigators might keep it 100% secret until they figured out how to fix it as that is standard for critical vulnerabilities. After I get home Ill see if I can find the video I was watching and I'll post it.
@@Sampsonoff Nah. He did all this to hide what happened. That it was deliberate and if then no one could ever prove it. Among other things it means his family would receive compensation and also not bear the stain of a relative having comitted mass murder. After that the attention to detail etc... may seem weird to us but not an experienced pilot. That's just how a pilot, if they went mad, would do it. As to the actual motivation, same thing as any murder of innocent bystanders. Most likely a psychopath with a similar backstory to a serial killer. They can hide it well. Bundy was known as charming and popular, even Mason was persuasive and was seen as a figure of authority by those around him (to the point of sacrificing their own lives and freeeom). Usually not a great childhood. Abuse, physical or emotional, neglect, then the familiar signs, antisocial behaviour. Violence towards first animals. But being a psychopath they can hide it, they practise smiles in the mirror and pretend to be human often in positions of power or authority, CEOs, politicians etc... Now the medical is supposed to weed out someone like that but such a test does not exist. If the person is smart enough to know how to answer the questions ("...have you ever tortured a cat? - No I have not") and they can end up as pilots. After that once a psychopath deems their life must end they couldn't care less about whobö they take along or it can even be the primary motivator. Likely the Cpt. fantasised about this for years, while unsuspecting FOs left for the cabin, cheerfully offering to bring back some coffee or a snack. Never knowing they could be the one that comes back to a locked door and a steep turn, possibly depressurisation and then nothing. After that it's a really sick kind of a joyride with over 200 corpses in the back. He probably enjoyed the last turns over the ocean, who wouldn't like to fly a liner however they want (minus the corpses...). And then reality probably set in. Certainly a little weird to engage the APU at that point when the outcome was long decided. Inability to foresee consequences of their impulsive actions is textbook (DSM 5) psychopath stuff.
Malaysian here. Huge respect to you and your team for waiting 10 years before wading into the MH370 subject. I've seen documentaries that featured experienced air crash investigators who are happy to sell their soul to spew unsubstantiated speculation on TV, all for the sake of earning a few dollars. You have earned my trust again and again with each aviation video, and this MH370 video is another great production. Full of information and zero speculation. Thank you Mentour Pilot!
@@GuitarRyder11the mystery is how to find these crazies before they do anything. As soon as you figure that out, and prove it doesn't identify innocent people, you can get smug about the hiring flaws at airlines. Spoiler alert: any criteria you choose will also be found in good people, and the result would be pilot shortages and less skilled pilots because some of the best will be put aside by your prediction algorithm.
I agree with the other three comments. The crazy unstable pilot did it and we have that proven almost beyond the doubt. Parts of the plane were found (ailerons with eroding edges). I love airplanes. Finished my undergrad in Aerospace Engineering and then Ph.D. in the USA too. My dad was an aerospace mechanic and worked for a large European airliner. I used to enjoy every flight immensely and even flew small planes. But nowadays those crazies like the unstable Captain of this flight, another German pilot who flew his passenger flight into the ground etc.. totally spoiled my enthusiasm. If these crazy people want to off themselves have guts and do it alone do not kill innocent people you little cowards.
@@AVA-gk1uz😊 u read the unsaid sentence and responded, nice.
I mean… several years of experience before turning crazy? The problem is that it happens and no one - not even the crazies themselves - can predict it. Just look at all the reports of folks who have had head trauma suddenly “change” and commit horrific acts… or how about people you would never have guessed would commit suicide - commit suicide because of a terminal illness affecting their mental status? Until we study these cases more to figure out the science that determines if someone is at risk… it seems people will just continue to blame it on “bad crazy people” - coz it’s just the easy and convenient thing to do.
** One thing I can’t understand is that if the 1st officer was locked out of the cockpit how could he have tried to use his cell phone , I highly doubt he carries it in his pocket .
This is such a well made, respectful and well needed documentary. Remarkably complex subjects explained very well. How on earth I have got this far without discovering your channel is beyond me. Thank you!
This is the informative KZhead channel about aircrafts I ever look. Thank you, brother-Pilot for a good work.
I am an amateur radio operator and an electrical engineer and i can say you did a wonderful job explaining the Inmarsat data as well as the WSPR data. Like better than any other information outlet I've come across. Well done, sir!
Glad you liked it
@@MentourPilot Would have been good if you discussed WSPR in more detail. The initial findings and 'proof' from the group were extremely dubious where it strongly looked like they had been performing curve fitting -- altering the algorithm and datapoints to fit to the known mh370 points, rather than arriving at them independently and cross-checking... I'm not sure how much of their latest release is based on this though. Presenting WSPR in detail then mentioning that was controversial is highly speculative (especially when you start talking about the 8 track) which you say you are trying to avoid. There is a reason that the Chinese, Malaysian and Australian authorities haven't taken it seriously to-date. Your explanation of GPS was pretty off-base (gps ground devices don't communicate with satellites, they merely listen). This is otherwise excellent! Much better than Netflix and Australian media.
The history of WSPR is important, given the way it has been communicated early on it gave some families a lot of hope who were desperate for answers and were really confused why the ATSB weren't taking it seriously, where my concern is that this is being propagated through "alt" channels where it may be complete pseudo science (which most early indications pointed to) and think more effort should have been put into exploring why this may be dubious.
@@tomtech1537 I wasn't saying the WSPR data is conclusive. I agree that it's interesting. I'd like to see some tests, like go fly a 777 around the Indian Ocean off Perth and see what happens. I think it -COULD- be possible to see the effect of a plane on a WSPR signal along a path where there was literally no other air traffic. But it's a big "could". I have to assume that the investigators used air traffic data to rule out any other aircraft along that path and accounted for the path angle and all that. Like lots of stuff would have to line up just right. I guess my workday will be derailed reviewing WSPR...LOL
Petter is no question about it an EXCELLENT communicator. A true treasure, and we're SO LUCKY to have him making content understandable for all people. Not only that, he has a very nice conciousness about real world issues and a huge empathy. I follow him since the first time I was lucky enough to cross his content. It'd be a true please if I'm lucky enough to meet him one day and to thank him for specially one of the videos he produced. But this one is clearly a masterpiece.
I have only watched the green dot "speculation" video (because so many people kept mentioning quality of it) and now this one. Your video is so good because it relies on the known info while acknowledging the other videos and almost assuming the viewer knows the theories. Yet you brought REALLY interesting details that i had not heard, even while ruling them out, such as lithium batteries and stolen passports. Including stuff like that helps show that you've thought about every angle. Your pilot's perspective about the extra radio calls and "workload" gives unique insight and the WSPR is so intriguing. What an amazingly thorough presentation!
Thank you!
I can not say it better than you !! 100% I've watched so many MH370 video's. not from experienced pilot like Peter. The voice analysis, peter you are a gem,what a bright point of view !
As someone who has been following most of the big advances on this topic, I would highly recommend you check out articles discussing the two reports Petter has linked to (the reports themselves are of course best but they are quite technical), and of course the final report on the incident. The more you deep dive into this, the more there is to find, really. But Petter's video has done a fantastic job summarising most of the salient facts on the issue, while steering clear of speculation (especially steering clear of presenting speculation as fact, which I think a lot of people have done in their efforts to understand what happened.)
Green dot was full of conjecture which has muddied the waters.
One of the reasons why I disliked his video so much. He pretty much treated it as facts too.@@nicholasstokes8330
Brilliant documentary - you make very technical information accessible and understandable. I really hope it ignites something.
There's an irony in that "Nothing in life is to be feared" quote. That's Marie Curie, who died from leukemia because she played with too much radium. Even today her lab notebooks are dangerously radioactive. Turns out...radium...radium is to be feared.
WOW! You are AWESOME for pointing that out! I personally feel too few people in the world even know important things like this... In fact, in the 90 (or perhaps earlier/whenever ago), it was determined upon the discovery of Curie's notes, lab docs, etc. were so "hot", that if one stored them under their bed, they'd be dead within a month!
"Nothing" includes death
Beat me to it 😅@@rhwing5095
My former classmate, was seated right next to me during schooldays, and his brother was on this flight on business trip to Beijing. May you RIP, friends.
OMG 😢
I am sorry for your loss
On 3/8/2014 I was returning from a breakup trip with my ex-girlfriend - I just arrived Beijing International Airport that morning. My flight from Sanya, Hainan was the one after MH370. My mom was waiting for me at the terminal, and when I stepped out, there were already hundreds of people, families, and journalists gathering at the ticketing area. We was literally watching this whole thing unfolding that day at the airport. It’s a memory I could remember for a long time..
What is a breakup trip? I'm guessing a vacation where you find out that you want to break up or one last vacation (maybe that was already booked and paid) as a couple for old times sake?
Also curious what a breakup trip is.
A break up trip! That's very mature of you both. My last girlfriend who i loved didn't even let me see her to say goodbye
@Blex_040 yh good question is it before or after the parting of ways lol
Break up trip? Wow! Whatever will y'all think of next?😂
This very video made me binge watch your whole channel. With zero knowledge in aviation I started, now looking forward to learn whatever I possibly can. Kudos to the supreme content, and effort!
I felt the same way finding his channel a couple years ago ❤
Me too, I'm almost to the beginning of the videos, it's so interesting he explains things so well to the layperson.
Thanks for the efforts making this video Petter (and your team)! Hope whoever was in charge hasnt stopped blackbox recording
Even if it was found today it wouldn't work.
Mad respect to Richard Godfrey, Hannes Coetzee, and Simon Maskell for devoting so much of their time investigating and analysing the data! They probably didn't get paid for this but still worked so hard seflessly.
100%!
Agreed, most likely they were not rewarded for their time, however, they are scientists, solving problems is what "they" do. In my opinion the majority are the best in humanity pushing us forward to a hopefully better future
Aren't they all research professors though? They might get a paper or a few out of this. (Publish or perish)
@@Scottfromscotlandx Exactly, I for one would love to be in a position to potentially discover something new or to solve a mystery, and if I got just the slightest indication I was on that track, I would pursue it relentlessly.

All your videos are top class and this one is stunning. You're an exceptionally good communicator of complex issues.
This documentary is the best one I have seen to date. The timeline, sequencing, simulation, graphics, intense detail, technical data and info, along with the explanation is so educational and interesting. This was professionalism at its best. Well done and you earned a new sub and another like! Keep up the great work!!!
“I’m going to get technical; it’s what we do on this channel.” That’s what keeps us coming back for more - we understand just a little more every time we watch, and appreciate all the more the work you guys all do every day.
I swear I have seen every storyline, every documentary and every theory based production in existence about MH370. You have surpassed them all. Exquisite production Sir. Simply the best!
It’s a copy of green dot aviations video from 3months ago and green dots is better
@@richardstones2797 It isn't a "copy", and this one is better. Although both are good.
I've seen one other in the last 6 months which was very consistent of this but i like the way Peter referred to "whoever was controlling the plane" as opposed to the other that speculated it was the pilot and the co-pilot had been locked out of the cabin

Simply the best! Educational, informative, unbiased and pitch perfect. Thank you bringing this to us.
I watched a 60 Minutes Australia episode featuring Mr Godfrey's use of the WSPR technology and his theory of where the craft went down. Absolutely fascinating. This episode is one of two best ones out there. What I didn't hear in this video was that the landing gear was dropped in the last 15 minutes until impact, which shows it was still under manual control. Also, the area of the suspected crash was over one of, if not THE deepest oceanic trench in the world. This airliner was not supposed to be found or the 'black box' recovered on purpose. It's very hard to think the culprit of the disaster was anyone but the Captain, who used his flight simulator at home and tracked this very area. Unless there is something short of a miracle, or actual knowledge of the people responsible, we'll never know.
Your investigations on air incidents are genuinely UNPARALELLED, there is nothing better on the internet. Seriously well done!

One would think with todays technology commercial aircraft designers could build a tracking device that would transmit a planes location anywhere/anyplace in the world and make it tough enough to survive a crash (long term) as well.
Porn is much better imo

This production is so well done, you can see the huge amount of work that has gone into making it. Amazing job, I truly hope this case will get a lot of publicity again, the families deserve to know what happened
yet @MentourPilot still managed to get many basic facts entirely wrong. LOL
@@Tazjet100 If you don’t care, will you list which ones were incorrect? Thanks!
@@Tazjet100what facts did he get wrong? I’m not exactly super informed on this so if you can provide the correct facts that would be nice
@@Kylel0519 Easy, waypoint IGARI is outside SSR radar coverage 200nm from Genting Highlands. Therefore MH370 was using ADS-B in Mode- S, to provide transponder information. Not VHF radio. When MH370 signal vanished next to Igari it showed a heading change right towards waypoint BITOD and then the altitude reduced to zero feet ALT. Either data from the FMS ceased (electrical failure) or pilot anticipating contact with new region controller switched transponder to standby( common practice for pilots waiting to enter a new transponder code). Australia's Defence Sciences Technology Group (DSTG) analysed all satcom telemetry and concluded log on request at 18:28 UTC (2:28AM) is only explained by power failure followed by power reboot of SDU.
This is, hands down, the best no-nonsense documentary of MH370 to date. Big thanks for devoting your time to putting this analysis together, for sharing your insights as an experienced pilot and flight instructor, and for the clear and detailed technical explanation. Superb work!
You must not have watched a lot of them. There are dozens of them presenting this exact information. There's nothing new in this.
No. This is the second best. There is another one which is absolutely the best.

En fantastiskt bra kanal! Upptäckte den idag. Tack för ett otroligt grymt jobb! 👍🏻
You're such a class act. Immensely factual. Clearly, unbelievable amount of work went into making this documentary. When I saw that Mentour Pilot dropped a video on MH370, I dropped everything to watch it.

Can you lend me some money please?
hello sultan
It took around 2 years to find Air France 447 but almost 75 years to find the Titanic. The time doesn't matter as much as perseverance does. Failure is sure when you give up. I hope new searches be done, for the sake of the families of the lost souls and for the general public. I dare to say this is the biggest unresolved mystery in aviation so far. Congratulations, Peter. This is a marvellous video. I love how you keep speculation to its minimum level possible and create content better than those found in streaming services and long-standing documentary series and channels. Keep up the good work. And I subscribed to CuriosityStream/Nebula using your code, thanks a lot for that.
Titanic isn’t a fair comparison because the technology simply did not exist for much of that time. It wasn’t until the US Navy wanted to find a sunken submarine that things started moving in the right direction. Regardless, we at least had a general area for titanic and AF447. The search area for MH370 is massive beyond comprehension
They weren’t exactly looking for titanic - they had the rough coordinates already, they just had no real need to go down to look at it. As @cruisinguy6942 said, it wasn’t until the US Navy was doing some unrelated work in the area that they decided finding titanic would be a nice cute cover story for what they were really doing that they bothered to look for it. In fact I have a feeling (may be wrong) that they found Titanic relatively quickly once they got there, but they had to keep it quiet until they had achieved their other goals so as to maintain the cover story.
@@cruisinguy6024are you assuming that we already peaked in terms of technological advances?? What about some magical sonar that can cover big areas and locate the wreckage for example.
We already know the exact spot where Air France 447 and Titanic were lost, MH370 still remains a mystery. No one knows the exact spot where the plane crashed
The air France was a A330 not a 747
This was masterfully done. Thank you for doing your bit and trying to aid in this horrible situation. ❤
I’m only about 10 mins in and already appreciate the high production value, also love that you got into the technical side of things. Very educational! ❤
I've been watching and enjoying your channel for a while, but this video is simply work that deserves compensation. Your reliance on verifiable data and restraint from speculation are extremely admirable when dealing with a tragedy like this. The world could use more people like you in every area of life. Thanks, Petter!

Excellent and thorough review, without delving into wild conspiracy theories. Excellent video as always, I've been following you for several years now. Cheers!
Kudos to you Sir for the exceptional work you did in putting this video together I hope the necessary people take up your theory and see were it leads in finding the resting place of so many and for the many who deserve answers
No finger-pointing, no slander towards captain, no over-the-top sensational theories. Just pure science.
It was the captain tho
Let’s be honest though. Of the two pilots on that day only one would have the systems knowledge and hand flying experience to pull this off, and it’s not the guy with 39 hours on type.
@@lonemaus562 I don't understand all the evasion if it was suicide _(he could have much more easily made it appear to be an accidental crash)_ so I can't help but think he was hoping to find the edge of the Earth or some secret facility/landmass/etc... to expose it or just see for himself before he died.
@@llYossarian The motivation to completely disappear is to avoid the shame of having killed hundreds of innocent people in the process. There are far too many data recording systems and safeguards in place to fake an accident.
@@lonemaus562 yup nothing can explain the route, the turns if noone is flying
Licensed amateur radio operator here, and I've actually participated in measurements of the ionosphere during eclipses by seeing how the frequency of time clock stations drifted as the reflective ionosphere layer shifted up and down. We measured audio and (later on) specific frequency deviations over time. WSPR's log includes frequency drift and so, much like how the inmarsat handshakes could be reverse-engineered to show vertical speed from the burst frequency offset, *theoretically* there is a dimension in the data that can be used for ranging. I totally wasn't expecting you'd ever include the track created from wspr mostly because I initially dismissed it as not being granular enough to work, and thus stopped following it. I'll have to revisit their work though after you managed to show it in a completely non-speculative way. 73s, and thank you for such a wonderful treatment to a topic that's not at all easy to discuss correctly. P.S. Franke and Taylor's other weak signal mode FT8 is a godsend for amateurs nowadays. I can send a message halfway around the world with ease, without having to rely on the internet, satellites, etc. Good stuff.
Awesome! I’m so happy that people with your knowledge like my WSPR inclusion. I checked its plausibility with two different (independent) experts before I decided to include it here.
As an electrical engineer speaking to a radio-amateur, I recommend you to read the full paper about wspr used to locate mh370. You'll probably be convinced that your initial guess was true: it definitely does not look like it's granular enough to conclude anything. Their method is turned the wrong way and involves nothing scientific. Can anyone find noise events that match with a predefined/suspected trajectory ? Yes! Actually works with any possible trajectory, and thus proves nothing. I don't want to be negative, but sad to see something so wrong be elevated to the rank of a supposedly strong proof.
@@woob31 I re-read their work and yeah, pretty much the same conclusion as when I first saw it. It's actually pretty simple for them to prove if their algorithm works, given the thousands of flights up in the air daily. Why that proof doesn't exist is already rather suspect.
I wonder if the development if this method could be one of the unexpected outcomes of MH370 and applications it might have, ...
@@beehard44While you are still discussing whether WSPR works to track down MH370, that area could have already been searched. There are high speed underwater drones nowadays which can autonomously search such predefined areas. All that's needed is a sponsor. Go out & search! If we dont find anything, you can still have your scientific discussions.
Thank you for covering this tragedy. I knew you had a reason for not doing so previously, and I appreciate how carefully you handled sharing information on this case while staying factual and as accurate as possible while highlighting the most important details. Your efforts are noticed ❤
This is truly an amazing work done!! 👏
As a retired airline captain your aviation accident reports are the best I have seen. This was a outstanding production!
what do you believe happened to MH370?
I fear flying and watching these videos captain 😂
I was working at Perth Airport when MH370 went missing. We saw so many Air Force planes from different countries come and go with no luck. We really need this plane found to understand what happened. This one of the most intriguing mysteries ever.
Would M370 -if truly saving fuel- had been able to reach Australia if it had wanted to?
Sadly even we found the debris field today we’d likely not be any closer to knowing what happened. The bodies are long gone. The remaining structure so degraded and eroded by currents and corrosion that all evidence gone. Even the black boxes, had they continued recording will have their electronics fully corroded after so much time that far underwater. It will give closure to families to know where their family members came to rest but there’s not much left for investigators to use.
@chrissmith7669 Are you serious?? Ever heard of the black box? That’s the most crucial thing so the world can know what happened . Nobody uses bodies to determine what happened sir 😹..
***Its called a black box 📦***!!!
@@tmcurly After ten years at the bottom of the ocean even the black boxes are very likely compromised. That’s if they ever held any useful information that wasn’t overwritten in the 7 hours MH370 flew on. At the depths MH370 is expected to be resting the pressure will eventually penetrate every gap and opening. The salt water will corrode connections and circuit boards even the chips will likely be corrupt after so long at the bottom. I have no hope of anything useful being recovered from them after so much time. They might resist nature for a time but mother nature is relentless and patient

I have been following this since it happened for the simple fact that it's hard to get my mind around a commercial airliner can disappear with the technology of today. This was hands down the best, most informative video I have seen from anyone. I've watched several of your other videos but you have outdone yourself with this. I pray that the right people see it to get them looking again.
The Earth is huge and technology is in its infancy. If you have ever traveled in remote areas you can get some idea of how easy it is to disappear without a trace.
I've recently started watching this type of video, and can assure you I look no further. It's Mentour or nothing 😂🥰
@@edwardlulofs444 I have to disagree with you, we have the technology to land a Volkswagen on Mars and drive it around for years, we should be able to find a triple seven. It ultimately goes back to what he said in this video, someone's radar picked that plane up and knows where it went down. Keep in mind that it appears to have gone down close to the "satellite dump" area.
@@Dan-ju3mx I admire your confidence in technology but I don’t share it.
@@edwardlulofs444 Whether technology will ultimately be enough to find this aircraft or not, I strongly disagree with your notion that teechnology is "in its infancy". No, it is not. The technology we have today together with our current understanding of physics, be it in mechanics, material sciences, electronics, aerodynamics, meteorology or any other branch is very advanced, even compared to only a few decades ago.
Excellent technical description! Thank you so much!
Finally ! Ive been longing for your output on this mystery for years
Best video no the MH370 story, thank you. The close second best, is the video produced by Green Dot Aviation - but in his video he tells the story as it was a known fact that the Captain hijacked his own airplane, depressurised the cabin, left the F.O. but of the cockpit, skillfully avoided detection, and reached a point of the Indian Ocean away from all travel routes, and circled until the engines flamed out and the aircraft dropped in the water while the last handshake created the seventh arc - and the radio signal had a Doppler frequency downshift because the aircraft was free falling. May God have mercy for everyone involved and their families...
Occam razor.. the most likely solution
my question to this theory is why would the Captain prolong the crash with such an intricate plan. Why wouldn't he just go nose down over the south china sea?
@@Danny-xt2fito avoid the fuel lighting up maybe. It can still burn on the surface of the water i think.
@@Danny-xt2fi to deter authorities from ever finding the wreckage - and so far you could say that if that was his motivation, it has almost worked.
@@Peloton25 lol - he was an undercover agent for Boeing. one thing he definitely fail at is preventing social media accusing him of committing suicide ... so his plan totally failed
I have seen the majority of M370 videos on multiple platforms with most of them repeating the same thing over and over with different graphics or voiceovers, this, unsurprisingly, is the first video I have seen where I learned something deviating from the same exact narrative over and over again. Well done, reinforced the love I have for this content and your channel.
Hands down this is your best video, ever. I can't imagine the amount of research and checks on the truthfulness of all the informations you provided. It's just amazing
Crazy. You’re must have changed their algorithm. I rarely see you videos unless I look for them now. I’m a subscriber.
This is why I don't watch television or Netflix or Prime... I follow quality content creators on KZhead. And Petter is the best at what he does. Extremely detailed work, without bias, without conjectures or assumptions. Data, facts, extremely balanced and presented in a way that not even a million-dollar production can do. It only remains to congratulate you for the enormous work behind these 56 minutes and 5 seconds of the best channel related to aviation. Congratulations Petter, you are the best!
Netflix is not reliable. The documentary which made it famous, about an 'innocent' man in the jail turned out to be manipulated. Man was guilty, from troubled family.
All corporate medias have been reduced to just state sponsored propaganda (mostly U$UK)
yes i agree, dismissing data from certain selected sources always helps with the hypothesis and gives you a much better persepective on things.🙄
Why don't you watch? You don't like movies or what's the reason?
I'm Malaysian and getting my info on a national tragedy from KZhead. Tragic
Not quite as bad as you think. As the uploder states a lot of what is unknown is still speculation and unconfirmed so technically there isn't anything concrete for any govt to share
Najib knows !!!
❤that means there was interest in game, that's why it was a covered operation where lives don't count, but money.
@@df23 ❤ Every track needs speculation in order to investigate every direction. If this plane were hacked, by interest, there have been evidence on ground as I stated in comments. So speculation is an absolute necessity to find evidences. But when you don't want to find any evidence you say the pilot was suicidal. Or you try a very complicated story, loosing view that the plane made a manual turn that only a military pilot would try, then flying in manual mode?... all that to finish in the middle of the ocean in turning like an eagle? Sometimes intelligency is to find intelligence in behavior, real is often simple, making lies so complicated❤
Terbaik, paduuuu
On the right, in suggested videos, I can see videos about "the new search being confirmed" from 4 weeks ago, 2 weeks ago (same as this video as of now) and 4 days ago. Seems there were other people advocating for renewal as well. Great details, great video
Really Captain, you are really amazing in your analysis of this event.Definitely the best attempt of explaining this mystery
This is honestly one of the best videos Ive seen so far on this story. We need to continue searching for this plane. Petter all of your videos are amazing and I am here to show my support and saying thanks to your videos it has driven me to begin my dream of becoming an airline pilot.

It's scary that you can kill every passenger on board with 2 buttons
Yes, I was shocked when I saw that. I had to rewind just to make sure that I'd seen it right...
Technically you don't even need buttons to do that
You can wipe out the earth with one red one!
that should not be technically possible, there needs to be a critical review of the functions that can and can't be switched off by a pilot, maybe its time for AI to fly planes, one insane or psychopathic pilot can do so much damage,I would prefer to trust a well built and programmed machine to be honest
@@mikeykeyesand biden and putin have access to that.
Only the captain spoke on the radio. It was a training flight for the other pilot. It required a lot of knowledge of the plane, tracking systems, area. Can we just cut the speculation and say the captain did it?
Literally, it’s sad to think about and not as “fun” as all the conspiracy theories, but it is the most plausible answer
That's not controversial. Even Mentour pointed to that. Analysing the tone and only speaking in detail about the Captain. FO had 39 hours on type unlikely that he could have pulled this off. Many would not have known to turn the generators off otherwise switching off ACARS would leave a trace. Then we'd have clear indication it was shut down.
Um no
Most likely. The problem with the captain is that there is not a single hint of a motive in his bio or his entire background. That's why I'm sticking with "most likely".
It seems that way for sure, and many many others have said as much. But it is very important to have that evidence from the wreckage before accusing him post mortem, and more importantly to understand why. Right now, "who did it" is not as important of a question to answer, as everyone on that flight has now passed away. But making a mistake in an accusation, even if there's only a 0.00001% chance of it being a mistake (and it is almost never that low of a chance) can have a big impact on how a person is remembered, and how their remaining loved ones handle their grief and loss. And because of that small chance of error, it would not be professional or tactful for someone like Mentour Pilot to speculate in this way.
I have one question which will tell you everything about what I think about your channel - where did you learn the skill of storytelling? It's amazing that I even stayed for the sponsor part of the video, which I always, always, always skip through. Thank you for these fantastic videos, I'm hooked!
This is probably THE BEST video from this channel so far. It's deeply technical, but somewhat easy to digest. The curiosity level stays high the whole time. Fantastic!
Shame it was copied from another channel of a video green dot aviation posted 3 months ago
Did passengers have cell phones?
I wish I was younger and healthier to absorb all of this. I understand Some, in that many years ago growing up in England, I loved science, geography, history, and trying to know as much as one could about basically everything. I will watch this again and again until some of it seeps into my brain. Thank you!
Flying the route by my home simulator I noticed something not mentioned in various reports: that night was the day with no moon in sky. Total darkness to avoid visuals from ground
Thanks!
Wow.
Malaysian Police forensically examined Zaharie's 2006 FSX home simulator. It could not fly a " mission" or route if the Boeing 777 was selected. Zaharie's computer was still using Windows 95, but the B777 model needed Windows 10 to work. Zaharie's home simulator kept experiencing software crashes. so he boxed it up all of 2013.
@Tazjet100 are you sure it said he was using windows 95? I'm almost 100% sure that FSX 2006 wouldn't even be able to install nevermind run
@@Tazjet100 According to a post on a Microsoft site, FSX couldn't run on anything older than XP, but it needed at least Vista to do it smoothly - so that PC couldn't have been running on W95. Also, Windows 10 released in 2015, so it's impossible that 777 model needed that system to work at the time.
This video deserves a nomination! Amazing work!
Very well executed. You really covered this aircraft’s story in its entirety. Excellent breakdown!
I am an airline FO, I also work in psych. Specifically suicide prevention. Thank you for presenting an important piece of non-dramatized science to the aviation community and those that are interested. This is important viewing! I would like to add some very minor comments. I feel that the captain did not know that today was the day to action his plan until the opportunity presented its self. I too feel that his decision to put his plan into action was shortly before his second check-in with ATC. I agree that his voice was different. Not necessarily anxious, but driven, busy and time-limited. Secondly, I would say that you can see that the return track is very likely hand flown. It’s got that classic oscillating pattern. Looks like every hand flown ILS I’ve ever seen in the sim. I do believe that he would have dumped the cabin and sent everyone to sleep. Of course the FO and FAs would have been on portable bottles and trying to re-enter the flight deck for a couple of hours. Lastly I would say that his tracking via Penang was not irrelevant. It was the place of the captain’s birth and, to me, it feels a bit like a goodbye. Thanks for this amazing science based infomation.
I'm just a CFII who has logged thousands of hours in flight sims and never once did I ever create a flight out into the middle of the Indian ocean, particularly with such an indirect flight plan. The captain did. He forced himself to have no way out. In my opinion he never wanted the mystery solved or his body found.
@@OpusBuddly “just a CFI”? I have massive respect for people that teach others to fly! Did they find something on his sim to suggest he’d been flying out that way on his computer too?
The question remains, why? If the plan was simply suicide why draw it out so much? Was he undecided or not yet sure? Why was not being found so important?
U might be right. But u might be wrong. Sharing your thoughts involves damaging the reputation of the pilot. So you should shut the f up and stick to facts until the truth is learned. Like Petter. That way nobody will remember a thing about u let alone that u were right. U think anyone cares one scrap if you're right? Especially over such a righteously emotive subject? You're a dreamer. Wake up 🤷♂️
@@Boudicca-the-musical I’ve always wondered why people do this with 200 people in the back. Why don’t they just rent a Cessna and go alone? Sometimes life insurance is blamed because they won’t pay up if it’s intentional. Sometimes cultural differences are bought up. (Suicide being particularly taboo in Malaysia apparently) although I’d argue that it’s taboo anywhere. Sometimes people who are a risk of suicide make plans without knowing if they’ll ever do it. Their plan is like a fantasy that’s not really based in reality for them at the time. It seems like the people who actually go through with it, something just ‘snaps’. Their frontal lobe goes offline and there is no consideration for bigger picture stuff in that moment. Tragically, people in aviation are so reluctant to seek help for mental ill-heath because of the implications to their class 1 medical. If there are any struggling pilots reading this, please seek help. It can be better than you feel! Suicidal thoughts can switch into a suicidal action like a CB popping! Think of the kids in the back of the plane! 🙏
This is probably one of if not your best videos yet. Your skill as a presenter is huge, and your ability to explain all the complex events and systems involved with your own experience help us as the audience understand what you're trying to say.

Thank you so much for putting this together, and hopefully your efforts along with others, will put additional pressure on renewing active searches for the wreckage.
Superb production on this video. Thank you.
You have, hands-down, the best production value of any content creator I've seen!
Wow, thanks! 💕💕
"What Netflix got WRONG" is better
@@Brandon-tk2rw Both are very good, in different ways.
@@Brandon-tk2rw Nope, that guy was creating theories out of thin air. There's absolutely nothing that has been found to back his claims. At this point, we can only extrapolate from what we know with the current evidence and not make outlandish claims.
Keen ear to sense the tension in the pilots voice. Likely a well needed skill for a check pilot . Great work Petter.
Yes, but if the captain was really planning this, how could he have sounded so relaxed in the beginning of the flight? Surely, he must have had some discomfort all the way from the start making it impossible for him to sound so relaxed at first.
@@tomvanthuyneI don't think they were saying that the pilot "planned this". More that the tension in the 2nd call may indicate something else was happening, like a plane issue.
@@kuromyou7969 ah, indeed, thanks for your reply.
@@kuromyou7969I agree, my impression was that _something_ happened on the flight between those last two calls to Malaysia. Given everything that transpired after, it seems likely that someone took over the plane. Who and what their intention was...who knows.
@@RationalistRebel Something was happening between those two calls. Perhaps a ruse to get the first officer out of the cockpit or incapacitating him in some way. That might explain why the pilot repeated himself. He was agitated and couldn't remember if he'd made a call, so he did it again.
I am so glad you covered this, we need to get the word out more again so that someone will hopefully be willing to potentially fund and restart the search effort
Excellent content with great professional context. You know you just watched a captivating video when it's almost an hour long but you only felt like it lasted about 15 minutes.
This is incredibly well made, Petter!
Thank you!
@@MentourPilotbig fan of your work mate, thanks for keeping it detailed and intellectually honest and not staying in speculation city (without facts) LOL
You have to understand that the powers that be w all their resources couldn't find the plane n now along comes this guy w all this data n research n says I think I know where it is n offers pretty good clues as to his claims....I'm sure these governments are not too eager to go ahead n check out his claims n find out if he is right the whole world is going to know how inept n foolish they were in their search not to mention the possible word ridicule n millions of dollars in lawsuits irreversible damage to the reputation of the question of their airline safety n security...a real mess..I think in the end somehow they will use his data wo admitting some type of culpability but I don't think they can get away w it..everyone is aware of it...I hope they they do the search n think of the suffering families instead of their reputations..
@@MentourPilot Do MU5735 soon 🎉
This incident feels so recent to me, it's an extraordinary feeling to realise it happened a decade ago. At the time I was working as cabin crew for a major international airline, including flying on the 777. The MH17 flight (shot down) that occurred a few months later is also ingrained in my memory. It was a scary time to be working on flights, it could have happened to anyone. RIP to all those who lost their lives.
I had an audible gasp when he said it’s been 10 years. I even looked it up thinking (foolishly) that he was mistaken. I swear those 2.5 years during Covid fell into a black hole of time-distortion.
And MH17 occurred in the midst of a Russian invasion of Ukraine, which makes it feel like yesterday as well.
Why didn't you quit your job then and work any other that doesn't require flying? Or did you? Or how did you manage the anxiety? Many people even without ever hearing of this accident would never decide to have a job like yours where they have to be on planes
@@dreamthedream8929 Hi, thanks for your questions. Perhaps "scary" was too strong of a word, "a worrying time" might be more appropriate. I've never been afraid of flying itself, quite the opposite, hence I went into that career. However, as I worked on the same aircraft type and flew over the same part of the world sometimes, it was easy to imagine it could have been a BA plane (where I worked) and I or my friends could have been on that plane. Like any arline disaster really it just gave me pause for thought, I was reflective about it. It didn't prevent me from getting on a plane and doing my job, as I knew we had amazing pilots and a great maintanence team and safety record. But even so there are always freak accidents that could happen to anyone. I continued flying for years afterwards, I no longer do, but I didn't leave from a fear of flying or anything, it was for other reasons.
This is class, expert analysis, I liked how you did not get involved in speculation and theories, and used existing evidence and data to first and foremost predict where the plane wreckage would most likely be.
Amazing work!!! Very technical, yet not so much that your viewers could not understand. Thank You!!!
That. Was. Amazing! I've been really looking forward to this ever since that teaser that you posted. Well done, and thanks to everyone involved in the creation of this video.
Im so glad YT recommended this. Fantastic episode. Big fan of your work
Thank you! I’m so glad you liked it! 💕
@MentourPilot You've put a lot of analysis into this. Somebody went to very great lengths and research to study how to avoid detection. 1)Who on that plane had the skill and / or knowledge to do that? 2) Why would they go to such great efforts to obscure the planes final resting place? 3) Could something been on board that they intended to recover after crash? 4) Has there been any look into ships that may have went into that area immediately after the crash? 5) Is there a way to even know that info like it is for the plane's whereabouts? 6) If it was not something ON the plane's that was was trying to be hidden, could it have been about WHO was on the plane that this was about? Have you looked into these types of inquiries?
@@fionnmaccumhaill3257 I don't think one man can do all of that.
This was a fascinating production, full of interesting information and much better than the Netflix one on this subject. Thank you so much, Mentour Pilot!
Peter and the team have single-handedly ruined aircrash investigations and aviation documentaries for me. The level of professionalism and detail are unmatched and makes them all look like amateur night before highschool class projects. Hats off to you, keep up the amazing work
*edit* --"single-handed" I'm pretty sure he has a background team working for him.-- But I agree on the first point, I can't watch these shows anymore.
That happened a decade ago
@@benjaminhanke79 my English failed me for a bit there 😅 That is for pointing it out
Agreed completely. I would suggest one other youtube channel, Blancolirio, Juan Brown. He does alot of GA videos and is not quite as high production but he is very fact based and uses every video to instruct GA pilots on how to be safer pilots. He is a 777 international pilot as well as owning and flying a Husky and 210
