  How To Cyberjack a 777 (Imagining the Impossible, part 3) 21.03.2026 41min

  Today, a major development in the disappearance of MH370: I show how a crucial 777 cyber vulnerability that search officials had believed to be impossible, is in fact quite readily exploitable. I’m joined by 777 pilot and YouTuber John Waters to show you in detail exactly how it works in a real aicraft.

  MH370 Vulnerability Exposed (Imagining the Impossible, part 2) 09.03.2026 29min

  In the wake of MH370's disappearance 12 years ago today, investigators convinced themselves that the Inmarsat data could not possibly have been tampered with, and that therefore they could place their confidence in the search area calculated from that data. Today we understand that the search area is empty, and that the 777 had a wide-open cyber vulnerability that left the Inmarsat data susceptible to tampering by sophisticated attackers.

  MH370 Physical Evidence (Imagining the Impossible, part 1) 28.02.2026 37min

  When a flaperon washed ashore La Réunion in 2015, it provided the first physical evidence as the fate of the missing airliner. The sealife growing on it held out promise of revealing where the plane had gone, but had been so little studied that no one could say for sure what it meant. Today, we understand them much better thanks to my global drifter project. They flatly contradict many official assumptions.

  What the Government Doesn't Want You to Know [S2Ep51 audio] 18.02.2026 14min

  With the latest round of seabed search suspended after a fairly miniscule of progress, there’s a lot of frustration right now about the search for MH370. A lot of people just can’t believe that, in this day and age, countries like the United States and Australia, which have some of the most advanced technology in the world available to them, can’t find a 200 foot long airplane with 239 people aboard.One of the most frequent comments I get is, “I can’t believe that the government doesn’t know where the plane is,” or, put another way, “the government isn’t telling us the whole truth.” Well, over the years I’ve talked to a fair number of people inside the official investigation, and I think I have a fairly well grounded understanding of their mindset, and I will say that, while there isn’t a grand coverup going on, there are definitely things that the government — whether that be Malaysia, Australia, or the United States — isn’t telling us. In today’s episode I’m going to talk about what those are and why they matter. Get full access to Finding MH370 at www.deepdivemh370.com/subscribe

  Seabed Search Wrap-up [S2Ep50 audio] 08.02.2026 14min

  It’s Sunday, February 8, and Armada 86 05 has set sail from Gage Roads near Perth Australia, and is not heading back out to the search area, as many had hoped, but is instead sailing for the Pacific, putting the search for MH370 back on ice. Some have speculated online that Ocean Infinity stopped looking because they found the wreckage; I’ll unpack why that is probably not the case, and will look at what lies ahead in the search for MH370. I’ll also unpack the mystery of a long telephone call that Captain Zaharie Ahmed Shah took part in before taking off on the fateful flight: Who was the call with, and was it tied to the plane’s disappearance?

  Search Week 4: One Mystery Solved, Another Emerges 26.01.2026 15min

  Phase 2 of the seabed search for MH370 has ended, as Ocean Infinity’s search ship pulls its robot subs from the water and hands for port. In today’s episode we’ll talk about what they accomplished in the fourth week of their seabed scan and what lies ahead for future searches. We’ll also solve a mystery that cropped up in last week’s episode and see what we can make of a new one — namely, what entries in an Australian port schedule can tell us about Ocean Infinity’s plans.

  New Search: Week 3 Results [S2Ep48 audio] 20.01.2026 1h 17min

  Last week we expected that the scan of the seabed was about to take a short-term break, as Ocean Infinity’s research ship, Armada 86 05, was scheduled to return to port the very next day. Well, right after that episode dropped Ocean Infinity changed its plans, and its arrival data in Fremantle was changed from January 20 to January 29. This was definitely a welcome change, as it’s always a good thing if Ocean Infinity is going to spend more time on station scanning the seabed. But unfortunately, the weather did not play along. A storm hit the area, forcing Armada 86 05 to retrieve the AUVs and wait out the strong winds and massive waves.In today’s episode we break down how the seabed search progressed, and I have deep conversation with NASA’s Dr Nigel Packham, who spent decades at NASA studying safety and risk in manned spaceflight and was involved in the investigation into the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster. Unlike MH370, that was a case that officials were determined to pursue relentlessly until they had all the answers the needed to make sure that the same tragedy wouldn’t happen twice. I asked Dr. Packham how that kind of implacable attitude could be applied to MH370. Get full access to Finding MH370 at www.deepdivemh370.com/subscribe

  New Search: Week 2 Results [S2Ep47 audio] 14.01.2026 15min

  Ocean Infinity has completed its second week of searching the seabed of the southern Indian Ocean for the missing Malaysian airliner, MH370, and it’s making good progress. But Armada 86 05, while a modern ship with state-of-the-art technology, isn’t really equipped to keep a substantial crew of mariners out at sea for very long, and the word on the street is that it will have to return to port very soon. In today’s episode we look at the area that it appears to have scanned, look ahead to the future, and answer questions sent in my viewers.

  New Search: Week 1 Results [S2Ep46 audio] 06.01.2026 12min

  The marine survey vessel Armada 86 05 has been back out on station, resuming the search for MH370. Things haven’t gone entirely smoothly. The ship did a couple days’ worth of scanning, had to go on standby for a couple of days due to bad weather before deploying its deep-scanning robot subs once more. We happen to know more about the details of the search than we usually do because lately the company doing the search, Ocean Infinity, has been been unusually communicative with the families of the missing passengers and crew. In today’s episode I fill you in on everything that’s been happening and respond to viewer questions. Get full access to Finding MH370 at www.deepdivemh370.com/subscribe

  Back in the Search Zone, with John Waters [S2Ep45 audio] 31.12.2025 54min

  Earlier this month the Malaysian government announced that the seabed search for MH370 would restart on December 30, and it looks looks like that is exactly what is happening. Right about now, as I’m putting together today’s episode on December 30, 2025, the Ocean Infinity marine survey vessel Armada 86 05 is pulling up to the search area, where it will deploy its three underwater robots to acoustically scan the seabed.The area that they’re planning to search is relatively small — just 10,000 square kilometers, compared to about 250,000 square kilometers during earlier searches between 2014 and 2018. That implies that they think they have a pretty specific idea of where to look.In today’s episode I discuss about how they got to the search area, where exactly they’ll be looking, and what likely comes next. I also talk with 777 pilot and podcaster John Waters about the seabed search and about his perspective on the mystery. Get full access to Finding MH370 at www.deepdivemh370.com/subscribe

  Sailing to the Search Area [S2Ep44 audio] 17.12.2025 9min

  It’s December 7, 2025, and Armada 86 05 has set sail from Benoa Port on the island of Bali, Indonesia. After spending a brief period conducting sea trials, it is now making a beeline for the area where it left off searching the seabed in March. If it maintains its current speed, it should arrive several days before the date previously given by the Malaysian government as the start of the new phase. In today’s episode, we discuss the capabilities as well as the limitation of the technology that Ocean Infinity will deploy once it arrives.

  Where They'll Look [S2Ep42 audio] 23.11.2025 22min

  Ocean Infinity’s state-of-the-art offshore support vessel, Armada 86 05, is currently on duty in the Philippines, about halfway through what is expected to be a two-week expedition to search the San Bernardino Strait for historical shipwrecks. Once it’s done, it will need to resupply, and then it will likely head to the southern Indian Ocean to once more take up the seabed scan that one of its sister vessels, Armada 78 06, carried out for several weeks in March. In today’s episode, we look at where I think it will go first, and I dive into the mathematics of probability to explain why Ocean Infinity likely thinks that their chances of success are quite high — and why they might have miscalculated.
