TONY Abbott has declared Australia wont be abandoning the search for MH370, even if no wreckage is located during the underwater search.
The Prime Minister said he had no advice whatsoever to suggest there is any truth in claims the plane may have landed somewhere.
Our expert advice is that the aircraft went down somewhere in the Indian Ocean, we have identified a probable impact zone, which is about 700km long, about 80km wide, Mr Abbott told reporters in Canberra.
Despite not finding any trace of the plane yet, the search isnt finished, he said.

He said even if at the end of scouring the underwater search area crews locate nothing, it wont be abandoned.
We may well rethink the search but we will not rest until we have done everything we can to solve this mystery.
We owe it to the families of the 239 people on board, we owe it to the hundreds of millions, indeed billions of people who travel by air, to try to get to the bottom of this.
The only way we can get to the bottom of this is to keep searching the probable impact zone until we find something or until we have searched it as thoroughly as human ingenuity allows at this time.
