Deep Dive: MH370

Careful analysis of satellite signals sent from MH370 to Inmarsat indicated that the plane had flown into a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean. But another possibility existed. The equipment that MH370 carried and the circumstances under which it operated together created a potential vulnerability that sophisticated hijackers could have exploited to make the plane appear to have flown south when it really headed north. If that occurred, then the plane would have flown instead to the northwest, over India, Nepal, China, and Kyrgyzstan before winding up in Kazakhstan. In today’s episode we discuss the details of the plane’s possible northern route, and explore whether it could have flown all that way without being detected by military radar.
