Deep Dive Podcast Network

The Deep Dive Podcast Network is a collection of serious (and sometimes not-so-serious) stories created by journalist and entrepreneur Andy Tarnoff. The first season, "Deep Dive: MH370," was a critically acclaimed 31-episode true-crime podcast with Andy"s co-host, Jeff Wise, about the mystery of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight 370. The network has now expanded into new topics, like "Wine Acoustics" with The Dandy Warhols" lead singer Courtney Taylor-Taylor, "The Feed," a look into the

For half a year after MH370’s right-hand flaperon washed ashore on La Réunion, no other pieces of aircraft debris turned up. Was that remarkable piece a one-off? And then, suddenly, everyting changed. The following February an American adventure-seeker named Blaine Alan Gibson found a trianguler piece of a with the words “No Step” on a sandbar in Mozambique. Experts confirmed that it, too, came from MH370. In an instant, Gibson became famous around the world, and his examples inspired others to look

The Flaperon

Deep Dive Podcast Network ·

2024/01/18

On July 29, 2015, a worker in the French territory of Réunion Island discovered MH370’s flaperon, the first confirmed piece of wreckage from the missing plane. It seemed like case closed, that the doomed plane crashed near the seventh arc in the Indian Ocean. But not everything added up. Between reverse drift models and sea life that was growing inconsistently on the debris, it raised the question: are we 100% sure that flaperon came from where authorities suspected?

So far in this podcast we’ve spent each episode diving into a particular aspect of the mystery. This time, we’re taking a different approach. We’re pulling back to look at the mystery from a global perspective in order to address the question: What is this case like? Just as every person has a unique character, a mystery can have a personality of its own, and MH370 certainly does. The dominant feature of that personality is strangeness. Time and again, a piece of evidence emerges which changes what

By mid-2015, the search for MH370 had entered a kind of limbo. The designated seabed search area had been scanned without success. So what evidence was there that the plane had really gone south? Attention turned to the topic of floating debris and where it might be found. If the plane had impacted the ocean in the way the Inmarsat data implied — namely, with catastrophic velocity — then there should be many thousands of pieces of wreckage floating on the surface. Oceanographers turned to the

Seven months after MH370 disappeared, ships leased from the Dutch maritime survey company Fugro were at last ready to begin searching the seabed that Australian scientists had defined using data mysteriously transmitted from the aircraft during its final six hours. Fugro’s ships faced a daunting task: searching a vast area, far from land, where abyssal plains and steep-walled canyons lay concealed beneath three miles of water. The search authorities were confident that success was right around the

If MH370 didn’t fly into the southern Indian Ocean but instead wound up in Kazakhstan, that implied that Russia was behind a sophisticated hijacking plot. Intrigued by the presence on the flight manifest of three Russian-speaking passengers, Jeff had already hired researchers in Russia and Ukraine to look into their background when he learned on July 17, 2014, that one of MH370’s 14 sister aircraft, a 777 operating as Flight MH17, had been shot down over eastern Ukraine. Jeff immediately suspected a

Careful analysis of satellite signals sent from MH370 to Inmarsat indicated that the plane had flown into a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean. But another possibility existed. The equipment that MH370 carried and the circumstances under which it operated together created a potential vulnerability that sophisticated hijackers could have exploited to make the plane appear to have flown south when it really headed north. If that occurred, then the plane would have flown instead to the northwest,

Once the scientists at CSIRO had generated the probability distribution for the plane’s last known location on the 7th arc, the next question they had to answer was: how far did the plane travel from that point before it impacted the water? As we've discussed previously, their goal was to define a search box within which the plane was likely to be found. The plane’s location along the 7th arc defined the length of the rectangle, and the distance it could have traveled from the 7th arc would define

In what’s sure to be the most controversial episode of the series so far, Jeff and Andy delve into the question of whether MH370 might have had a previously unrecognized security backdoor. In the months after the disappearance, a series of surprising facts emerged which, taken together, raised the possibility that the Inmarsat data guiding the official search might not be as infalliably trustworthy as previously assumed. One Independent Group member even identified a specific parameter in the

The Pilot

Within weeks after the disappearance of MH370, one theory of its disappearance had come to the fore: that one of the pilots had seized control of the plane and flown it on a prolonged and sophisticated murder-suicide mission into the southern Indian Ocean. Nothing like it had ever happened before, but there seemed no other way to easily explain the picture that had emerged from the Inmarsat data. So who were these men? In today’s episode we’ll look at what friends and family said about Captain

From the first day MH370 went missing, it was the subject of an intense surface search. Planes, ships and satellites scoured millions of square kilometers of ocean, first in the South China Sea, then in the Andaman Sea, then in the remote southern Indian Ocean. Not a single piece was ever spotted. Today we’re going to talk about how the search went down, and what we might conclude from its failure to find any debris. We’ll also discuss a new discovery that Jeff made while researching today’s

On March 24, 2014, the Malaysian Prime minister made a shocking announcement: using a new kind of mathematical analysis, scientists at the British satellite communications company Inmarsat had determined conclusively that MH370 had flown into a remote area of the southern Indian Ocean. Because there are no islands in the area, there was no possibility that anyone on the plane could have survived. Therefore, all 239 passengers and crew must be dead. It was a stunningly sweeping conclusion to reach

The First Law of MH370 is that the closer you look at it, the weirder it gets. A good example of this principle can be found in episode six, in which we explore how exactly the satellite communications system, or satcom, came to be turned off and back on again after the plane disappeared from radar. At first, most observers assumed that an inattentive hijacker must simply have left the system on when turning off all the other form of communication. But careful analysis of the data revealed that that

It’s the week after the revelation that Inmarsat had been collecting data from the missing plane for a full six hours after it vanished from military radar. Now it turns out that, with a bit of clever math, Inmarsat scientists have been able to narrow down the plane’s location to seven broad arcs — and more than that, these arcs imply that the

This week, the mystery deepens as, in the days after MH370’s disappearance, the Malaysian authorities first deny, then confirm that their military radar detected the missing 777 as it turned back from its planned route to Beijing just a few seconds after it passed the final waypoint in Malaysian airspace. The plane reversed course, flew back over the Malayan Peninsula, then flew up the middle of the Malacca Strait toward the northwest before disappearing again over the Andaman Sea. Jeff and Andy

The mystery begins. Shortly after midnight on March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and headed to the northeast, towards Beijing. For the first 40 minutes of the flight, everything was absolutely routine. But then, at 1.21 a.m. local time, the plane vanished from the radar screens of air traffic control. In today's episode, Jeff and Andy discuss what it means for a civilian flight to disappear from radar screens, and why the timing of the disappearance
