In the summer of 2016, Larry Vance provided his opinions about MH370 to 60 Minutes Australia, and those opinions went worldwide in the media. Two years later, when a renewed search for the wreckage based on incorrect assumptions was coming to an end, he published a book about MH370 to point out significant deficiencies in the official investigation, examine all available evidence in plain language, and debunk speculative theories by showing how they do not fit with the entire stream of existing evidence.

In his new book, “Picking Through The Pieces: The Life Story of An Aircraft Accident Investigator” Larry reveals the backstage details of how this episode, and a subsequent “60 Minutes: The Situation Room” program, were produced. In the book, he also explains his motivation for publicizing the truth about MH370 disappearance through the media and his first book.
