Final week I sat down with Sid for the Sit Down With Sid podcast, and he let me ramble on about MH370 for 2 straight hours. We talked in regards to the forensic knowledge, the boundaries of radar, why the Ocean Infinity search got here up empty, and why the “pilot did it” narrative is on shakier floor than Netflix would have you ever imagine.
It was a correct dialog, no script, no prep, simply somebody who is aware of the case letting me work by means of the technical realities with out having to simplify every part right into a soundbite.
Sid’s constructed a powerful collection. He’s additionally interviewed Christine Negroni, Jeff Smart, Blaine Gibson, and a rising roster of people that’ve spent years inside this story. I used to be glad to hitch that lineup.

I’ve been desirous to revise *The Thriller of Malaysia Airways flight 370″ for some time now and this has actually helped me to get my ideas collectively. I imply, I’ve three (3!) books that I’ve in progress and my life is principally on fireplace proper now, so no guarantees! However I’ve opened that file once more, which might find yourself attention-grabbing.
And in case you missed it final week, I used to be on TRT Nexus speaking in regards to the AF447 company manslaughter verdict. The Paris Court docket of Appeals dominated Air France and Airbus responsible and I joined John Nance and Richard Godfrey on Nexus to attempt to clarify what which means from an aviation standpoint.
The AF447 phase and the MH370 interview cowl two very completely different investigations, however they’re related by the identical query: how will we piece collectively the small print of what occurred and who will get to inform that story?
