"'The Taking of MH-370' [is] an astonishing performance. Wise goes through every piece of evidence, every report, every word. Read this stunning piece of investigative journalism" -- @jpodhoretz, editor-in-chief of Commentary magazine.

Eight years ago I wrote a piece for @NYMag called "How crazy am I to think I actually know where that Malaysia Airlines plane is?". Today we still don't know whether I'm crazy or not. Here's my latest, explaning why it's still important to keep at it.

Nine years ago today, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur and was never seen again. Friends and family members of the 239 passengers & crew still don't have any answers. The authorities have given up. Here's why that's not acceptable.

I think that the mystery of MH370 is solvable & that the biggest obstacle right now is the authorities' unwillingness to admit that their failure so far could be because they made a faulty assumption at the start. Today I'm trying to convince Australia:.

@salimfurth Looking at deaths rather than cases allows you to chop off the punchline in the US chart. That spike in cases on the right-hand end? That's caused by premature reopening & anti-mask sentiment in MAGA states, and it will inevitably lead to a time-displaced spike in deaths.

People who only follow #MH370 casually often have the impression that investigators have the mystery well in hand & would have found the wreckage on the seabed were it not for bad luck. That's not the case. In fact, many basic facts of the case don't make sense 1/.

It’s the 10th anniversary of the disappearance of MH370, & the day of our big reveal at Deep Dive: MH370. The first reveal has to do with the debris that washed ashore in the western Indian Ocean starting 16 months after the plane’s disappearance. At first, scientists assumed 1/8.

If #MH370 flew north after its disappearance, it would have wound up in central Kazakhstan, a windswept semi-desert best known as home to the Baikonur Cosmodrome. Something interesting happened there just before the plane disappeared. 1/3.

@JoeDelmonaco @johnlk_80 @YAppelbaum @TheAtlantic You are daft. Trump confessed to obstruction on live TV. He's an unindicted co-conspirator in the Stormy Daniels case. His campaign colluded w Russia. He's a friggin one-man crime wave. He could be justifiably impeached a dozen times over. He's a case study in impeachability.

Discussing the #MH370 seabed search in 2015, Australia's Deputy PM Warren Truss said “The experts are telling us that there is a 97 percent possibility that it is in that area.". It wasn't. Were the experts unlucky, or had they misunderstood the problem?.

If #MH370 is still seen as an unsolvable mystery, it’s because something that happened in the course of its vanishing is discussed as if it were unremarkable when in fact it is ridiculously unprecedented & basically impossible .Call it the MH370 miracle.

When a disoriented F-35 pilot crashed his plane into the Sea of Japan in 2019, it created a shock wave loud enough to be detected by a worldwide network of underwater microphones. When MH370 crashed into the sea in 2014, though, it didn't make a detectable sound. Why not? 1/2.

One of the striking aspects of MH370 is just how few clues the plane left during its long flight into the unknown. Even its presumed crash into the remote ocean didn't create a sound detectable by listening hydrophones. Does that mean it likely didn't crash there after all? 1/2

They don't come right out and say it, but this "third party" could really only be Russia. After today's report, which effectively torpedoes the consensus view that the pilot took the plane, authorities need to finally take seriously the evidence for a spoofing attack.

What's worse, the media also treats every day as a TV episode--in particular, as one of those series you can view in any order where nothing that happens in any episode has any impact on any other. Trump tells a lie in ep. 39 & they're back to taking him at face value in ep 40.
"Crises are treated as day-to-day public relations problems by Mr. Trump, who thinks ahead in short increments of time and early on in his presidency told aides to consider each day as an episode in a television show."
