Courtney Love found the missing flight MH370
Hole lead singer Courtney Love wrote yesterday that she thought she may have found the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in satellite images posted online, although the company behind the crowdsourced effort had already identified the image as a boat.
Love (the widow of Nirvana lead singer Kurt Cobain) posted her findings on Twitter and Facebook, marking the areas she thought significant with hand-written notes.
Courtney Love found the missing flight.
For a minute – Courtney Love believed she’d found a clue in the case of the disappearance of Malaysian flight 370.
The saga of the missing airplane has captured the public’s attention, and Hollywood is clearly not exempt from the intrigue. Love, best known as a musician, actress and wife of the late Nirvana front man Kurt Cobain, tweeted a picture of a body of water with the caption “really? look closer? check it out @DR24 #MH370 and its like a mile away Pulau Perak, where they “last” tracked it.”
Adding her two cents and plentiful Facebook clout to the mysterious search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 today was none other than Courtney Love, whose homemade analysis garnered more attention than most by virtue of it coming from Courtney Love.
“I’m no expert but up close this does look like a plane and an oil slick,” she wrote, complete with a diagram, to more than 2,000 likes and 1,400 shares. “[It's] like a mile away Pulau Perak, where they ‘last’ tracked it 5°39’08.5″N 98°50’38.0″E but what do I know?” (Sample comment: “swear to god if courtney love finds the fucking plane.”)
Asked if she’d found the spot herself, Love told Daily Intelligencer: “Yeah I went to the satellite site and just uploaded tons and tons of pictures. I really doubt aliens took it. It’s got to be somewhere. I’m a little obsessive.”
Unfortunately, the spot in question had been previously noticed and ruled out by the crowd-sourcing service Tomnod. “Although it is still an interesting clue, it is looking much more like the other boats operating in the region” – Tomnod said prior to Love’s post. “Keep up the good work.”
“I mean I don’t know anything about aviation per se,” added Love via text.
