Media Release
28 April 2014—am

Up to 9 military aircraft and 12 ships are planned to assist in today's search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

Today the Australian Maritime Safety Authority has planned a visual search area totaling approximately 54,921 square kilometres. The centre of the search area lies approximately 1667 kilometres north west of Perth.

Bluefin-21 has completed mission 15 and has commenced mission 16 this morning.

No contacts of interest have been found to date.

Bluefin-21 will continue to examine the areas adjacent to the focused underwater search area during mission 16.

The weather forecast for today indicates the cold front will move out of the search area and be replaced by a southerly trade flow, sea swells of four to five metres.

Any further information will be made public if, and when, it becomes available

he Bluefin-21 will continue to be used in the operation, Mr Abbott said.

However, an intensified search will involve different technology.

"In particular, using specialised sidescan sonar equipment towed behind ships to scan the seabed for evidence of aircraft wreckage," the prime minister said.

The Australian government, in consultation with the Malaysian government, would be willing to engage one or more commercial companies to undertake the work, he said.

He said that would cost an estimated $60 million and Australia would seek contributions from other nations.

MH370 search being scaled back
April 28, 2014
The Australian prime minister said that It is now "highly unlikely" that any aircraft debris will be found on the ocean's surface.


PERTH: The search for missing Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 is being scaled back, Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott has announced.

He says 52 days after the plane disappeared with 239 people on board, the search is now entering a “new phase” focused on searching the ocean floor.
It is now “highly unlikely” that any aircraft debris will be found on the ocean’s surface, he says.

“By this stage, 52 days into the search, most material would have become waterlogged and sunk,” he told reporters.

Search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 a mammoth task that could take years

April 28, 2014

THE sobering reality is that finding the resting place of the sunken naval flagship HMAS Sydney, lost for 67 years, was an easier undertaking than locating the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.

Nonetheless, there was an unrelenting desire among the families to establish the precise location of the wreckage, just as there is now for the families of MH370.

And there would be another benefit in finding Sydney: it would hopefully put to bed some of the many conspiracies as to what had befallen the ship.

The tales around Sydney grew and became, says Dr Lewis, “deeply hurtful” to the families. He sees the same thing happening again with MH370

"Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz said the anger of Chinese nationals against Malaysia over the missing
Malaysia Airlines (MAS) aircraft flight MH370 was not due to negative news or speculation spread over social media. "
"“The Chinese believe that for the final rites, the body must be touched. If not the body, at least they should know where the aircraft crashed.
“As both of these requirements are unfulfilled, they cannot conduct the final rites and in their frustration, they direct their anger at Malaysia.”"

April 28 (Xinhua) "China will continue communication and cooperation with Malaysia and Australia, positively support and participate in the new

South China Morning Post, published Sunday Apr 27 2014:
"China’s military vulnerability revealed in search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370."
"China’s deployment for the search has stretched the supply lines and logistics of its rapidly expanding navy."
"The United States, by contrast, has built up an extensive network of full bases - Japan, Guam and Diego Garcia -
buttressed by formal security alliances and access and repair agreements with friendly countries, including
strategic ports in Singapore and Malaysia.
While China is building up its fortified holdings on islands and reefs in the disputed South China Sea, its most
significant southernmost base remains on Hainan Island, still some 3,000 nautical miles away from where Chinese
warships have been searching for missing Malaysia airlines flight MH370."

On Tuesday, Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said that the stolen passports were used by two Iranian nationals,

Haaretz Israel's newspaper: http://www.haaretz.com/news/world/1.587442:

of the Indian Ocean seabed, pinpointed after the detection of acoustic pings believed to be from the plane's black box flight recorders. "
"Malaysia is also under growing pressure to improve its disclosure about its investigation. "

"Ex-El Al expert: Iran likely involved in MH 370.
Based on profiling, pilots are unlikely suspects, says Israeli airline’s
former security chief; he and other experts believe plane intact."
"Lt. Col. (Res.) Eran Ramot, a former IAF fighter pilot and the head of aviation research
at Israel’s Fisher Institute for Air and Space Strategic Studies, however, drew other conclusions.
“It would be very complicated [for someone other than the pilot to have flown the plane],” Ramot said"
"Asked what would have happened if the plane – which went undetected for hours
as it blipped across Malaysian radars – had entered Israeli airspace, Ramot said,
“It would not go unnoticed, that’s for sure.
Action would have been carried out, the least of which would have been an interception to escort it.”
“This would never have happened on an Israeli plane,” says Yeffet."

http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/179555
" Unidentified investigative sources" told the daily that co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid attempted to make a call from his cellphone
from the cockpit that fateful night, and that the signal was picked up by a cellphone tower as the plane was about 200 nautical miles
northwest of the west coast state of Penang - just before military radar last sighted the jet at about 2:15 am."
"A range of theories as to its fate have emerged – from hijacking to crashing to being diverted for use in a terror attack, possibly against Israel.
Later theories have become even wilder, ranging from an onboard fire to a suicide mission. "

Malaysian Defence Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said China and Australia were aware of the announcement.

“Malaysia is working with its international partners to assess the credibility of this information,” a statement from his office said.

“Need more corroboration n verification b4 we deploy assets,” Mr Hussein later tweeted.

But the Joint Agency Coordination Centre, which is coordinating the multinational search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, has dismissed GeoResonance's claims.

"The Australian-led search is relying on information from satellite and other data to determine the missing aircraft's location," the JACC said in a statement.

"The location specified by the GeoResonance report is not within the search arc derived from this data. The joint international team is satisfied that the final resting place of the missing aircraft is in the southerly portion of the search arc."

Media Release
30 April 2014—am

The search for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is commencing a new phase and will transition over the coming weeks to an intensified undersea search.

In the meantime Bluefin-21, which has completed its search of the 314 square kilometre area around the detections made by the Towed Pinger Locator, will continue to search adjacent areas.

Mission 17 will commence when weather conditions improve allowing Bluefin-21 to be safely launched from Australian Defence Vessel Ocean Shield.

Ocean Shield will remain on station supporting Bluefin-21 search activity.

Over the coming days the vessels that remain on standby for the search will transition to and from the search area.

A Royal Australian Air Force AP-3C Orion also remains on standby in Perth.

Other vessels and aircraft that have been engaged in the surface and aerial search will now transition to their respective national tasking in the coming days.

Any further information will be made public if, and when, it becomes available.

"It is imperative for the government to form this independent team of investigators which is not only competent and transparent but also highly credible."

The investigation body, which has already started work, has accredited representatives from the US National Transportation Safety Board, Britain's Air Accidents Investigation Branch and China's Aircraft Accident Investigation Department among other agencies.

Inmarsat, the company whose satellite had the last known contact with MH370, remains "very confident" in its analysis that the plane ended up in the southern Indian Ocean, a source close to the MH370 investigation told CNN.

The Inmarsat analysis is "based on testable physics and mathematics," the source said, and has been reviewed by U.S., British and Malaysian authorities as well as an independent satellite company.

Malaysia Airlines MH370: Aerial search for missing plane officially ends
Updated 5 minutes ago

Eight nations have been involved in the unprecedented hunt - Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, Japan, South Korea, the United States, Britain and China - with more than 300 sorties flown across a vast expanse of remote ocean looking for debris.

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-04-30/malaysia-airlines-flight-mh370-aerial-search-ends/5421156

So sad for everyone concerned that nothing has been found yet.
A job well done to all those involved with the search :clap:
 
GeoResonance says it has been overwhelmed by international media attention in the past 48 hours, but that its goal has always been to have an audience with authorities

https://au.news.yahoo.com/sa/a/2309...ysia-is-looking-at-its-mh370-findings/?cmp=fb


You never know GeoResonance may pick up a contract to help find the plane. With all the experience the company has MOO


“The Australian Government, in consultation with the Malaysian Government is willing to engage one or more commercial companies to undertake this work and this work would be done under contract to the Australian government.”

The United States, Japan, New Zealand and Malaysia all confirmed that their aircraft were returning to base. There was no immediate word from China, which accounted for most of the passengers on board.

As many as 14 ships from Australia, China and Britain were involved in scanning the ocean surface for debris or black box signals but many of these are also pulling out.
