Jeff Wise a science journalist specializing in aviation and psychology. Here he distils the fruits of exhaustive research and arrives at a conclusion that upends our understanding of what humans are capable of, both technologically and morally. Officials and independent experts were stunned by their failure, but Wise predicted it four years ago. In his follow-up to 'The Plane That Wasn't There,' named the Best Kindle Single of 2015, Wise walks readers through the many developments that have taken place in the meantime and explains why despite spending hundreds of millions of dollars and searching an area of seabed the size of Great Britain, authorities were unable to locage the plane's wreckage.
