China has deployed satellites to search for missing plane MH370 in the Cambodian jungle after a British man said he had spotted images on Google Maps of MH370’s location.
China’s Chang Guang Satellite Technology used 10 commercial satellites to capture a tropical forest area 60 miles west of the Cambodian capital Phnom Penh – where the plane’s MH370 is believed to be located. Malaysia Airlines went missing 4 years ago.
Chinese satellites show that no debris of MH370 has been found in the Cambodian forest area.
However, the images obtained late on September 6 showed that there was no debris of MH370 in this area.
The Chinese company’s search comes after media recently reported that British technology expert Ian Wilson had “spent hours and hours on Google Maps” and discovered traces of flight MH370 deep in a tropical forests in the highlands of Cambodia. Wilson’s location revealed an aircraft with a length of 70 meters, slightly longer than the actual length of MH370 of 63.7 meters.
According to Wei Shu, director of the Chang Guang company’s office based in Jilin province, China, the latest satellite images do not detect any aircraft in the tropical forest area as the experts hypothesize. Wilson. According to Mr. Wei, the images and videos recorded by Chang Guang’s satellite are covered by 76% of clouds, so it is difficult to observe exactly what is happening on the ground. The company said it will continue to take more satellite images to verify the final conclusion.
The suspected image of MH370 was taken by Google Maps.
Meanwhile, according to Angkor Time, the plane that Wilson discovered on Google Maps is not MH370, but may be a plane that crashed more than 20 years ago.
However, Mr. Wilson is adamant that the location of Google Maps needs to be checked and is planning a field search using a helicopter.
And private investigator Andre Milne – founder of military technology company Unicorn Aerospace – has called on the tech giant Google Maps to enlarge the image of the spot using its own satellite to capture better. .
Flight MH370 took off from the Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur to Beijing and went missing on March 8, 2014 while carrying 239 passengers on board. So far, the cause of the disappearance is still a mystery and it has not been determined exactly.
