A British man claims to have found the missing flight MH370 on google maps after searching for hours.

Google maps is a handy tool used by people across the globe in day to day situations. But the accuracy of it is still a concern in some regions. Ian Wilson, a tech expert, claims that the popular mapping service shows a blurry image of a plane like structure, possibly the MH370 flight that went missing four years ago, found in the Cambodian jungle.

The pixelated image shows an outline of the airplane but that could also be a picture of one that was flying below the satellite that captured the image.  

Wilson is positive that this image can be a significant step towards finding the flight. He told Daily Star, "Measuring the Google sighting, you're looking at around 69 meters, but there looks to be a gap between the tail and the back of the plane. It's just slightly bigger, but there's a gap that would probably account for that."

The producer is determined to travel to the location and search through the jungle if there is, in fact, an aircraft there. "I was on there (Google), a few hours here, a few hours there. If you added it up I spent hours searching for places a plane could have gone down. And in the end, as you can see the place where the plane is. It is literally the greenest, darkest part you can see."

The Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, went missing on March 8, 2014, en route Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia to Beijing. The aircraft went off radar somewhere between Malaysia and Vietnam and the next radar signal showed the aircraft taking a sharp west, and then south that lead directly into the Indian Ocean. Even after an extensive search around the vicinity, there was no evidence of the plane.

Over the years, multiple search operations have been conducted but showed no results of finding a flight or the people on board. Finally, a search operation that was funded by Australia was called off in 2017.
