MH370 wreckage hunter Blaine Gibson won’t give up until mystery solved
The US amateur sleuth is the first person searching for the plane who’s actually found any trace of it and says he won’t quit gathering clues until the mystery is solved
Not that he didn’t try. “The Ark of the Covenant, I did not find it. However, I do believe that it’s in Ethiopia somewhere,” Gibson said recently.
The amateur sleuth has had far greater success finding clues from a modern mystery: the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
He is the first person searching for the plane who’s actually found any trace of it and says he won’t quit gathering clues until the mystery is solved.
It was good management, but it was also a lot of luck. What you don’t see before that were the number of beaches that I combed in Reunion, in Mauritius in other parts of the world and found nothing
“Travel is what I do, but I always love travel with a purpose, and solving the mystery of Malaysia [Flight] 370 is a purpose ... until I or someone else finds out what happened to the plane and those on board,” he said while in the Australian capital of Canberra to visit the headquarters for the official plane search.
The Boeing 777 carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members is thought to have plunged into the southern Indian Ocean after inexplicably flying far off course during a flight from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, on March 8, 2014.
