He's a cross-eyed lunatic. There's no conspiracy on the part of Russia involving the disappearance of this aircraft.

People had a rough idea where Air France Flight 447 was when it went down, and it still took them two years to find it. No one has even a faint idea of where MH370 crashed, making the chances of finding it at all very, very, slim.

The ocean is a shockingly massive place which is a fact that Wise would discount in favor of some fantastically absurd notion that Russia somehow snuck an aircraft all the way from Malaysia to anywhere else without being spotted is ridiculous.

Unfortunately, he's going to view all this exposure as an affirmation of his theory instead of a confirmation that he needs to seek professional help.

They found debris from AF447 the day after it crashed. Nothing from MH370 has been found.

Again, its location was known. It did not deviate from its flight path. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AF_447_path-notext.sv...

Oh come now, claiming he is mentally ill takes a little far. Do I think his theory is prima facie ridiculous? Of course, but everyone gets a little wound up thinking about something very hard for a long period of time.
