Theory Briefing
- Jean-Yves Royer's underwater hydrophones picked up an anomalous signal on the night MH370 disappeared, a detail he couldn't let go of.
- Hydrophone networks, designed to detect nuclear tests, can also capture the acoustic signature of a plane hitting the ocean.
- If the signal is confirmed as MH370's impact, it could finally narrow the search zone after years of failed deep-sea hunts.
- The clue surfaces years after the main debris field was never found, raising questions about whether investigators had the right search area all along.
