Since his friend Zahid Raza was shot dead in the capital of Madagascar, when he was moving remains of the Malaysia Airlines plane that mysteriously disappeared in 2014, with 239 people on board, Blaine Alan Gibson has continued his debris tracking with a much more profile Low than before. There is - that he believes - a connection between the ill-fated flight MH370 and the homicide that, two years later, has not been resolved.

This American lawyer, an amateur researcher who found the first fragments of the Boeing 777, allowed to consolidate the main hypothesis about the tragedy, which has been an object of global speculation - the losses affected families on four continents - because, simply, an aircraft of those dimensions cannot fade into the air in an era of constant electronic communication. After following the path that the wreckage of the ship could have taken from Southeast Asia after an impact on the Indian Ocean, Gibson found the evidence that ended the hopes of the passengers and the crew of that flight on March 8, 2014.

He had agreed with Raza, the Malaysian honorary consul in Antananarivo, a formal mechanism to move the rubble to Malaysia. He knew that not everyone shared his enthusiasm for Indiana Jones: he had received death threats. The murder of his friend when he was about to complete the shipment of six pieces made him take them seriously.

That is why he did not interrupt his search: in November he found a floor segment containing letters and numbers corresponding to the Boeing 777; Several months earlier, she had delivered, with Grace Nathan, a young lawyer who lost her mother on the flight, another five pieces, much to the discomfort of the Malaysian transport minister, Anthony Loke. But he took some precautions.

"He currently avoids revealing his location or travel plans, and for similar reasons avoids using email and rarely speaks on the phone," said The Atlantic, who interviewed him for a final note on the disappearance of the MH370. “He likes Skype and WhatsApp because they are encrypted. He frequently changes his SIM cards. He thinks they sometimes follow him and photograph him. ”

Almost six years after the mystery of the flight that left Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, where it never arrived, Gibson is the only man who went to look for evidence of the destruction of the ship, and found them. The trajectory that followed, on the advice of scientists from Australia - the country that did the major research, part of the final trajectory - proved the hypothesis that seems to stand above all others: the plane was diverted, controlled by someone from the cockpit, while gaining altitude and violently twisting to the left, the passenger cabin was completely depressurized, all people on board died except the one who piloted, and then remained for hours without a signal, in a quiet flight, until the fuel and make a plummet to 15,000 feet (4,600 meters) per minute.
