My opinions only, no facts here:
By the way, shortly after the disappearance of MH 370, I did a study of ocean currents to determine where debris in the Gulf of Thailand/South China Sea might end up. MH 370 disappeared during the 1st intermonsoon (March-April). Let us say just for the sake of argument that the plane crashed somewhere west-southwest of the oil platform. Depending upon the distance from the platform, debris would drift either towards the southwest Vietnam coast OR (ironically) towards the east coast of northernmost Malaysia.
The critical scientific publication is from Yanagi (2011). The important figure for me is his Figure 8. This PDF publication is at http://www.terrapub.co.jp/e-library/nishida/pdf/nishida_013.pdf
Remember, the interpretation of current movements is mine and not Yanagi's. I could well be misinterpreting his data.
