New signal capabilities help decode the mystery of missing flight MH370

Washington [US], June 19: The possibility of finding the wreckage of plane MH370 became an issue that attracted attention, after research by Cardiff University (UK) discovered possible hydroacoustic signals from this plane.
After detecting a hydroacoustic signal suspected of missing flight MH370 , researchers are considering conducting a series of controlled underwater explosions as a test to narrow the search area.
Dr. Usama Kadri at Cardiff University, who led the research that helped detect the signal, is recommending a new search, which could help detect signals that were previously overlooked in the search for the missing plane. analysis, according to the Independent newspaper .
Meanwhile, experts have made comments about the possibility of finding plane MH370 based on the hydroacoustic signal that Mr. Kadri's team just discovered.
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 has been missing since March 8, 2014 with 239 people on board, becoming one of the biggest mysteries in aviation history. A team of experts at Cardiff University has just discovered a 6-second signal, coinciding with the time frame the plane may have crashed into the sea, recorded at the Cape Leeuwin hydroacoustic station in Western Australia.
There are two hydroacoustic stations capable of detecting these signals, with the second station in the British territory of Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. These stations belong to the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty monitoring mechanism.
After the above discovery, experts called on the authorities to conduct controlled explosion tests to monitor signals received at hydroacoustic stations, thereby determining the search area for MH370.
"If found to be related, this will significantly narrow down, almost pinpointing the exact location of the plane," according to Radio 1News quoting Mr. Kadri.
"On the other hand, if the detected signal is unrelated, it indicates that authorities need to reevaluate the time frame or location established by official search efforts," he added.
Commenting on the possibility of finding plane MH370 based on the above information, GB News quoted veteran journalist Simon Calder, who has followed a lot of information about the plane, saying that the latest discovery is very remarkable.
He thinks we may be getting closer to solving the mystery. "This is an extraordinary study, essentially documenting that for a 200-ton plane to sadly disappear in 2014 somewhere over the Indian Ocean, it would have made a huge noise," he noted. idea.
According to him, the new discovery will help significantly narrow the search area for missing MH370 .
