On Friday March 28 the ship scanning the seabed for MH370, Armada 78 06, stowed its AUVs and set sail to the north, putting an end to the second phase of the third seabed search. It is currently underway for Singapore, about 2300 nautical miles to the north, and is scheduled to arrive on April 8.In today’s episode I discuss what Ocean Infinity accomplished during this last search phase and what might lie in store—and why those of us expecting hard answers from the seabed search are likely going to have to wait a little while.Last week I took a look at one of the leading lights of the MH370 community, Victor Iannello; today I explore the more complicated back story of Richard Godfrey. I revisit some of the extraordinary claims he has made and unveil the actual nature of his expertise. It turns out to be quite different from what institutions like the ATSB and the BBC have stated to the public. Get full access to Finding MH370 at www.deepdivemh370.com/subscribe

Into the Blelly Zone [S2Ep33 audio]
The seabed search for MH370 remains in full swing. It is now 12 days into Phase 2 of the third seabed search, and we’re talking about whose much-discussed theory of the plane’s disappearance is now being put to the test. I also share some interesting and intriguing information about one of the most important and influential characters in the MH370 community.

Search Phase 2: Virgin Territory [S2Ep32 audio]
In the last episode we talked about how we couldn’t tell what Ocean Infinity was planning, because they weren’t saying anything publicly and the ship tasked with searching the seabed seemed to heading off to South Africa.Well, fortunately, that didn’t happen. Instead, Armada 78 06 sailed to a stretch of ocean near the 7th arc, arriving there on Tuesday March 11, and it deployed its three search AUVs, which it continues to do today, Saturday March 15.But what comes next?With still no information coming out of Ocean Infinity or the Malaysia government, all we can do is read the tea leaves, and infer what their strategy is from the surface movement of the ship. There’s no getting around it: what we’re talking about is informed gueswork, but at least the picture is a lot clearer than it was a week ago. And basically, the news is quite good. In today’s episode I explain why. Get full access to Finding MH370 at www.deepdivemh370.com/subscribe
It was eleven years ago today that Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared from radar screens over the South China Sea. Since then millions of square miles of ocean have been searched from the air, hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of seabed have been scanned, a few dozen pieces of debris have been recovered from the shores of the western Indian Ocean, but we still don’t have any conclusive answers as to what happened to the plane or the 239 people aboard. There is a search on—but it’s not clear to what extent. The ship tasked with scanning the seabed, Ocean Infinity’s Armada's 78 06, has set sail towards the search area, but it is displaying its destination as Cape Town, with a time of arrival so soon that it implies that it will spend little if any time on station in the search area.Today I’m going to talk about what we know about the confusing status of the search right now and what the possibilities are going forward.

MH370 Search Update + New Hoax [S2Ep30 audio]
Armada 78 06, the Ocean Infinity vessel tasked with the latest seabed search, has arrived safely in port in Henderson, near Perth Australia, a little earlier than originally planned. That means it will get refitted and will be back out at the search area earlier, too.That’s the good news. The bad news is that some dodgy characters have launched a new wave of misinformation about the case. In today’s episode I explain what it is and why it’s so dumb.
