Australian wreck hunter facing death threats after MH370 find

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.

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.
