Theory Briefing

  • MH370 vanished in 2014 with 239 people aboard, leaving no confirmed wreckage site — a rare modern mystery that defies our data-saturated world.
  • The video's framing through a personal, backyard perspective exploits narrative bias, making a global tragedy feel intimate and fueling amateur investigation culture.
  • Competing theories — from deliberate diversion to mechanical failure — persist because ambiguous evidence allows motivated reasoning to fill every gap.
