Sam McAdam speaks with Richard Godfrey, an aeronautical engineer who has dedicated over a decade to analysing the mystery of MH370, the Malaysian Airlines flight that disappeared in 2014. Richard shares his personal connection to aviation tragedies, his involvement in the search for MH370, and the various theories surrounding its disappearance. The conversation delves into the impact on the families of the victims, the technological advancements in search efforts, and the ongoing speculation and conspiracy theories that have emerged over the years.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The MH370 Independent Group is a collective of individuals, including scientists, engineers, and aviation experts, who came together to analyse data and theories related to the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.
Despite numerous theories and proposed locations regarding the disappearance of MH370, no definitive conclusions have been reached, highlighting the complexity of the investigation.
The search for MH370 has been extensive, with 41 pieces of floating debris analysed to trace their origin, but the vastness of the Indian Ocean complicates recovery efforts.
The lack of closure for families affected by MH370 is a significant issue, as many are still seeking answers a decade later, with some forming supportive communities while others remain stuck in their grief.
Advances in technology are being developed to improve aircraft tracking, which could prevent future incidents like MH370, as highlighted by Richards's discussion on the need for mandatory position reporting for ocean flights.

BEST MOMENTS 

“There are lots of different theories and lots of different ideas... but nothing has come out of any of those propositions"

"They feel very strongly that they can’t put it to rest until they know what happened to their loved ones"

"We have to continue until we get the full facts discovered"

"If you did give up on a search like MH370, it almost sets a precedent that we can reach a stage where we're not going to invest or try to uncover certain situations"
