In the year since MH370 vanished over the South China Sea, private pilot and science writer Jeff Wise has appeared on CNN more than 50 times to lend his insights on where he thinks the plane has ended up. In the same time Wise was dubbed CNN's new "aviation analyst," a million theories bloomed about MH370's whereabouts, including his own.
Despite the unprecedented and technically complex turn of events, aviation experts, governments, and amateur plane hobbyists all thought they had the answers, answers that were often received as incomplete, illogical, or downright wacky. Will we ever find the plane or learn more accurate details of its disappearance? In light of last week's crash of a Germanwings airbus in the French Alps, are safety standards and emergency protocols going unenforced? Will these crashes put new strains on global political relationships and the travel industry?
Join New America NYC for a conversation between Jeff Wise and technology and aerospace journalist Eric Adams to recount the progress a year has made in the search for MH370 and to assess its impacts on the politics and economics of global travel.
