About this episode

MH370 is perhaps one of the world's most compelling mysteries. It is one that has boggled the minds of the public, garnered the opinions of experts and armchair detectives alike, and served as a catalyst for a number of wild conspiracy theories.

A common consensus amongst those mildly familiar with the case is that the disappearance of MH370 was the result of the actions of the captain, Zaharie Ahmad Shah. After all, Occam's Razor tells us that the simplest explanation for something is oftentimes the truth.

But the mystery of MH370 is not a simple one. For years, aviation expert and journalist Jeff Wise has been researching the events surrounding MH370, and beyond proposing an alternate theory, one that does not fit the common consensus, he explores the overall significance of MH370 as it relates to the world and its history.

I am honored to have been joined by Jeff for this episode to discuss his extensive research on MH370 and just how complex of a case it really is.

Note: To fully understand the concepts discussed in this episode, it is necessary to have a familiarity of the disappearance of MH370 on March 8, 2014. Please refer to episode 1 of this podcast for a breakdown of the facts.
