Australian wreck hunter facing death threats after MH370 find

Published

A man who tracked down the first piece of debris from missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 is facing death threats and being followed by shady figures

It’s the biggest aviation mysteries of all time- the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370.

One Australian wreck hunter Blaine Gibson found what he believed were pieces of the plane.

At first, he was hailed a hero, and then the death threats began.

So who doesn’t want to plane to be found?

239 people were on-board when the aircraft went missing, with investigators unable to find a trace.

Unsatisfied, Gibson began his own private investigation, all in a desperate attempt to find answers.

The independent investigator combed the beaches of Madagascar looking for even the smallest of clues.

When he eventually came across the very first piece of the plane, the Australian wreck hunter was confronted by people and messages he says were trying to keep him away from the scent.

In a new Channel 5 documentary airing in the United Kingdom, Gibson speaks of being called ‘No Plane, No Blaine’, and even receiving death threats telling him to give up his search altogether.

I started to get death threats from anonymous people. Things like ‘No plane, no Blaine’ and telling me to give up my search.

“One made a call to a friend of mine saying I would not leave Madagascar alive.

The Australian man believes someone is trying to prevent Malaysia MH370 from being found and fears they might take violent action against him for continuing his investigation.

The Malaysian Airlines flight took off from Kuala Lumpur en route to Beijing on March 8, 20-14, with all 227 passengers and 12 crew members vanishing without a trace.

This new three-part documentary examines a range of theories behind the plane’s disappearance, trying to make sense of this gut-wrenching tragedy.

It also highlights the trauma faced by the families and crew who were on board the flight and their desperate calls for answers.

There are many conflicting assumptions about how a plane could disappear from the sky, with details continuing to baffle the world.

One of the twists in the turn of events was the plane’s ability to fly for hours longer than the fuel onboard would have allowed it to.

The airlines initially claimed the plane would only have been able to fly for four hours before running out of fuel.

However, it was later revealed the plane was still in the air for at least six hours after the last contact.

There is some speculation the Captain might have hijacked the plane, with many critical details still coming to light.

Investigator Blaine Gibson is at the forefront of these investigations and isn’t letting anything deter him from finding the truth.

Disney withdraws ads from X amid tensions

Published

on

Bob Iger, the CEO of Disney, faces a turbulent period as he navigates through challenges including activist investor pressure, plummeting stock prices, and declining consumer interest in Disney movies.

Amidst these struggles, Iger has taken a controversial step by publicly announcing the withdrawal of Disney’s advertisements from Elon Musk’s social media platform, X (formerly known as Twitter). This move aligns with a broader trend of progressive CEOs distancing themselves from platforms associated with figures like Musk and Donald Trump.

The decision to pull ads from X marks a significant shift in the digital advertising landscape. This platform, under Musk’s leadership, aims to transform from a ‘lefty safe space’ to a hub for unrestricted free speech. This pivot includes a commitment to allowing conservative voices and resisting influence from political entities, including those in the Biden administration. However, this transformation has placed Musk, the world’s richest man, in a vulnerable position, drawing intense scrutiny and criticism.

Musk’s situation worsened following his endorsement of a controversial tweet, perceived as antisemitic, suggesting a Jewish conspiracy behind a demographic replacement theory. This incident fueled antisemitic sentiments, especially in the wake of the tragic Oct. 7 Hamas attack in Gaza. Additionally, a report by Media Matters, a Soros-supported organization, accused X of juxtaposing major company ads, like Disney’s, with harmful neo-Nazi content. This allegation led to an advertising boycott, severely impacting X’s financial stability.

At the recent New York Times DealBook conference, Iger openly criticized Musk’s actions and X’s content policies, leading to Disney’s ad withdrawal. While Musk admitted his error, he and his team have countered Media Matters’ claims, accusing them of defamation and filing a lawsuit. Amid these controversies, stakeholders are questioning Iger’s strategic decisions for Disney, especially considering his legacy as a former long-term CEO and his role in shaping the company’s current direction under his successor, Bob Chapek.

Elon Musk’s X faces $75M loss as advertisers exit

Published

on

Elon Musk’s venture, X, is bracing for a substantial financial hit as reports suggest it could suffer losses of up to $75 million by the end of this year.

The turmoil stems from a growing exodus of advertisers, which has sent shockwaves through the company’s revenue streams.

The advertiser exodus appears to be linked to controversies surrounding Elon Musk and his unconventional approach to business and social media. Musk’s controversial statements and tweets have drawn both praise and criticism, but they seem to have alienated a significant portion of X’s advertising partners. Many companies are distancing themselves from the venture due to concerns about brand image and association with Musk’s unpredictable behavior.

This development raises pressing questions about the future of X and its ability to retain advertising partnerships. Can Elon Musk navigate these turbulent waters and win back advertisers? Will X need to reevaluate its strategies and adopt a more traditional corporate image? How might this impact the overall financial health of the venture, and what steps will be taken to mitigate losses?

In the midst of these uncertainties, it remains to be seen whether X can weather the storm and maintain its prominent position in the business world. Elon Musk’s unorthodox approach has often yielded success, but the current challenges pose a significant threat to the venture’s financial stability. As the year-end approaches, observers are closely watching to see how Musk and X respond to this critical situation.
