Last week I sat down with Sid for the Sit with Sid podcast, and let me ramble on about MH370 for two hours straight. We talk about forensic data, the limits of radar, why the search for Ocean Infinity came up empty, and why the “pilot did it” narrative is on shakier ground than Netflix would have us believe.
It was a proper conversation, no script, no prep, just someone who knows the case and allowed me to work through the technical realities without having to simplify everything into a soundbite.
Sid has built an impressive series. He also interviewed Christine Negroni, Jeff Wise, Blaine Gibson and a growing list of people who have spent years inside this story. I was happy to join that lineup.
I’ve been wanting to review *The Mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 for a while now and this has really helped me gather my thoughts. I mean, I have three (3!) books in progress and my life is basically on fire right now, so no promises! But I opened that file again, which might be interesting.
And in case you missed it last week, I was on TRT Nexus talking about the AF447 corporate manslaughter verdict. The Court of Appeal in Paris found Air France and Airbus guilty and I joined John Nance and Richard Godfrey at Nexus to try to explain what that means from an aviation point of view.
The AF447 segment and the MH370 interview cover two very different investigations, but they are connected by the same question: how do we piece together the details of what happened and who can tell that story?
