Malaysia airlines 370 with 239 people on board, 8 March 2014 #25

[watcher9]

Australia's research agency CSIRO is examining new evidence into the fate of Flight MH370 which it believes points to the location of the missing aircraft.

Flight MH370 disappeared on March 8, 2014 with 227 passengers and 12 crew on board. Oceanographic research has continued since the underwater search was suspended in January this year.

High-resolution images from an Airbus Pleiades 1A satellite showing “probably man-made” objects similar to debris items since found were taken on March 23, 2014, a little more than two weeks after the passenger airline went missing in the Indian Ocean.

Geoscience Australia completed a new analysis earlier this year, and the location of the objects in the images at the time of the crash was estimated by CSIRO using drift analysis.

If I'm reading the maps right, checked on a MH370 search area map with the coordinates on it. From the way it looks to me, the new proposed search area would be just east of and near the bottom of the search area where they searched before, just a little closer to Australia. This is not north of the search area where we thought it might be.

From your link -

The CSIRO now places the mostly likely location of the aircraft “with unprecedented precision and certainty” at 35.6°S, 92.8°E, .

..

and

...but the other two candidates (34.7°S 92.6°E and 35.3°S 91.8°E) are not far away.

This reads like a rehash of old stuff but does reference a new search area should be done northeast of the completed search area.

Australia’s main scientific agency said on Wednesday it believed with “unprecedented precision and certainty” that a missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft crashed into the sea northeast of an area scoured in a fruitless two-year underwater search.

Grabbed a few parts that reference debris seen on satellite. Apparently Australia feels that there still isn't new evidence leading to a specific location of MH370. Ocean Infinity will search for free and only ask to be paid if they do find the plane. If true, why not let them try?

Its latest assertion was its most insistent yet and was based on a review of satellite images provided by the French military intelligence service and France’s national space agency, CNES, which showed 70 pieces of debris with a dozen of those “probably” man-made. ....

.... CSIRO oceanographer and the report’s lead author, David Griffin, told Reuters by telephone that if the debris spotted in the pictures was authentic, then it supported previous ocean-drift analysis pointing to a crash zone just to the north of the area that was most thoroughly searched.

“It all fits together so perfectly, the only thing missing is proof that those actually are pieces of plane,” Griffin said.

“The wife of a passenger onboard the still-missing MH370 flight says the decision to close the investigation into the plane's disappearance means the families have 'no closure' and 'no peace'.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau on Tuesday published its final 440-page report into the search, from the time the Malaysia Airlines plane disappeared on March 8, 2014, until it was suspended in January.

Danica Weeks, who's husband Paul was on the doomed flight, told News Corp she owes it to her husband and the 238 other people's families to find the wreckage.

'This can't be it. It's heartbreaking... we cannot be released from (it) until we have the right of process,' Mrs Weeks said.

Tragically I don’t think there will be any answers or closure for the families.

I think you're right, Greg (hope you're well fella)

3-and-a-half years on and nothing. Frustrating as it is I understand that resources have to be wound down, my only hope is a private company deciding to search somewhere different.

In a strange and convoluted way this case is like Corrie McKeague's. Radar pings / phone pings are the only clue. The authorities seem sure they know the location but it's vast. The search of that location has been extensive but fruitless. Needle in a haystack.

So sad that the families have no answers.

Heartbreaking. I can't believe it's been 3 1/2 years and there are still no answers .

I hope more families speak up, hopefully forcing them to allow the one company to search.

I don't know if the problem with contracting that company was the big payout at the end or what.
What would be great would be for some company to conduct a search on their own for the prestige or for the good will for the world or even if they would want to produce some sort of documentary like James Cameron does.

I agree; a documentary would be nice but I don't see any company that would do it for free. Paying the one company something if they find it isn't a lot to ask since there should be money in scrap once the plane is recovered. I wonder how much recovery would cost

[h=1]Report says mystery of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is 'almost inconceivable'[/h]

SYDNEY, Australia -- A report on the almost three-year search for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 said Tuesday the continuing mystery over the fate of the plane and the 239 people on board is "almost inconceivable."

But the Australian Transport Safety Bureau's final report on the search, which was abandoned in January, concedes that authorities are no closer to knowing the reasons for the plane's disappearance, or its exact location. This is despite last year's narrowing down of its most likely resting place to a 25,000-square kilometre (9,650-square mile) patch of the southern Indian Ocean.

"It is almost inconceivable and certainly societally unacceptable in the modern aviation era with 10 million passengers boarding commercial aircraft every day, for a large commercial aircraft to be missing and for the world not to know with certainty what became of the aircraft and those on board," it said.
"The ATSB expresses our deepest sympathies to the families of the passengers and crew on board MH370. We share your profound and prolonged grief, and deeply regret that we have not been able to locate the aircraft, nor those 239 souls on board that remain missing."

The bureau said the search had at least led to some important gains in the field of locating missing aircraft on flights over deep ocean areas, with improvements made to systems for tracking aircraft.

"Steps are being taken to advance other aircraft systems including emergency locator transponders and flight recorder locator beacons," the report said.

I know.
I feel sad for all the loved ones who still have NO IDEA what happened to their family members.

If a Hollywood movie had been made about this tragedy before it happened nobody would have believed it and would have said it was far fetched.

 

[watcher9]

May be a Heads up!
Don't know if this is true or not, but according to this article, the search may begin again as early as next week?
I could not find another MSM article to confirm this that did not refer to this same article but this article was just posted about 45 minutes ago.

The hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines plane MH370 could resume as early as next week with experts now able to pinpoint where the plane is believed to have crashed.
The decision comes just a fortnight after the official search was called off by investigators as the Malaysian government now looks for a private corporation to fund the new probe.
So far US company Ocean Infinity are believed to have made an offer but Dutch company Fugro have countered with a more cost-effective proposal, the West Australian reports.

I’m glad they may search again soon.

It might be one of the early Tomnod images. There were thousands o people all over the world scouring them at the time, looking for stuff on the ocean surface. I remember one that looked like dozens of blue seats.

Make that millions of people!

Thank you for finding and posting this.
It's reassuring when this is another MSM article to report this announcement.
I'm so glad they made this decision to resume the search.
I hope they can find it within the first couple of days.
