MOZAMBIQUE - Man who found a piece of plane wreckage off the Mozambique coast has been traveling around the Indian Ocean for a year in a quest to solve the mystery of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight (MH) 370.
Blaine Gibson, a US lawyer from Seattle, is spearheading a self-funded hunt for the missing plane in an exhaustive search that has taken him from the Maldives to Mauritius and Myanmar.
"I've been very involved in the search for Malaysia 370, just out of personal interest and in a private group, not in a profit way or journalistic way," Gibson told CNN.
MH370's disappearance is one of the world's biggest aviation mysteries. The plane vanished from radar while en route from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing, with 239 people on board, on March 8, 2014.
The next question is what's next after discovery of plane wreckage?
"I went for the one-year commemoration in Kuala Lumpur and met some of the family members and families, and it inspired me to keep on looking," said Gibson.
He has trawled beaches, spoken to witnesses and interviewed people who have reported debris -- all in an effort to discover the truth of what happened to the ill-fated flight.
"Most experts and the official search authorities believe the plane flew south rather than north," Gibson writes in a blog on his search. However one year of searching the Southern Indian ocean has failed to discover any debris," he added.
