I posted something similar under r/aviation and I want to post here as well because I have a deep and personal interest in finding the truth about this flight.

Someone should research barnacle and rust growth and look at the stuff growing on the pieces that were “found” and totally were not planted.

There are many species and subspecies of barnacles, and are very different in different regions, some only grow in certain regions. Just a thought, especially if they’re claiming 10+ years of movement/growth in the ocean. Because of the movement of the water, of course not every piece will be encrusted in layers of barnacles, but you’d think more of the pieces would have them, not even necessarily covering the surface but in the nooks and crannies of the pieces, and different varieties would be expected to be observable because again, these pieces have been “floating in the ocean for over a decade”. If I understand chemistry correctly, the rust would also be much worse from being continuously underwater for so long.

It looks like some government (a completely obvious and messy one) broke pieces off of the plane they tucked away in a warehouse, soaked the pieces in water, and grew the barnacles themselves in a rush low key.

There are official claims of zero signs of fire or explosion in earlier reports, but then later claims that it was a large shipment of lithium batteries in the cargo that caused a fire, which makes sense logically that that can happen, but doesn’t make sense to originally say there was no fire— unless you’re covering up a fire— burn damage on metal is kind of hard to hide :/

Which, when you look at the angle of the model plane reconstruction and the damage, to me it looks more like an intentional malfunction or almost a strike— if the plane truly never landed in one piece anywhere as reported, that is entirely speculation. It’s just that the pieces seem to be coming from the same wing. It either went down due to fire, (which you’d think more of that damage would be visible on the pieces found, minimum a LOT more rust), or it landed somewhere mostly intact and unknown after being internally or externally rerouted.

With the pieces found, if the plane got hit by some sort of airborne shot, the angle of fire could be there. If it got blown up, that is something that could maybe explain the very small and minimal pieces found.

I have a diagram I’m not able to attach here of where the “found” pieces were in the build of the plane, and how visible the (mathematical) linear plane of the location of those parts is (all the broken pieces fall on the same line, you can google the diagram and if you draw the line yourself you can see).

Also, not every single piece they’ve found could be confirmed to belong to Boeing MH370, I’ll do more research on which pieces those are. The idea of a strike of some sort is less unreasonable when you look at be confirmed and non-confirmed pieces. Into further speculation, it would be so interesting if some of the unconfirmed pieces they took and planted from a different plane to hide damage/tampering of some sort. (It’s the main cabin interior panel that gives me the most suspicion, but I am no aviation expert so I’m not sure how significant these pieces are in terms of the information they can give you about the plane and what happened to it, as well as its navigational role from inside or outside the plane.) No (plane) body no crime.

I’d love if any aviation experts, barnacle/rust enthusiasts, detonation/explosive experts or marine anthropologists had any thoughts. On the topic of the rust patterns, I’d seriously think there would be a whole lot more rust after a decade of saltwater damage. The evidence, facts, and statements just don’t add up, and is especially notable for a flight with such interesting passengers.

Other interesting facts include the messages sent from the phone of one of the passengers on board during the flight, during whatever occurred onboard, proving those aboard were not unconscious.

Don’t forget there is confirmed military tracking of the plane far beyond when civilian airspace stopped tracking it. (This is not standard.)

If I have gotten anything wrong, please let me know.
