Private investigator, Noel O’Gara, has studied the mystery of the missing flight for the past four years. He believes the crash site of the plane can be calculated by using the testimony of eyewitnesses. But he claimed the Malaysian government may have removed the wreckage from the seabed in secret.
He told the Daily Star Online: “Most likely, MH370 is still lying on the sea bed in that area.
“Unless the Malaysian government recovered it later.
“They would know exactly or within a few miles of where it had come down.”
He has described the search for the truth behind the MH370 disappearance is like putting together “pieces of a jigsaw puzzle”.

Mr O’Gara has said four key witnesses could help locate the aircraft.
One of them is Kiwi oil worker, Mike McKay.
Mr O’Gara said: “McKay saw a plane on fire when he was on an oil rig off Vietnam at the time.
“This sighting could be when MH370 went up to 45,000ft and broke over the horizon as it made the turn back.
“It was flying eastwards and ascending rapidly in the struggle for control of the plane.
“For a few moments when it broke over the horizon, it appeared as if on fire when it was hit by the sunlight from the east and then it fell away as it descended again.”
A second key witness, Latife Dalelah, believes she saw what was a plane on the surface of the water while flying home to Saudi Arabia.
However, many people have objected to her statement, saying it wouldn’t have been possible for Ms Dalelah to see the water being so high up.
The third witness, Katherine Tee, said she had seen a burning plane on the to Phuket in Thailand.
His fourth and fifth witnesses are two Malaysian fishermen who insisted they saw the plane come down.
Mr O’Gara believes MH370 was shot down after it was feared to have been hijacked.
Authorities believed they had minutes to spare to stop a 9-11-style terror attack.
He also claimed the Malaysian government covered up the shooting down of the plane.
The official MH370 investigation declared that the aeroplane must have landed somewhere in the Indian Ocean.
