At this point, MH370 can re-appear out of nowhere. That is a scary thought.
My gut feeling is it was in the area the oil rigger saw something. Maybe tge data is correct but opposite direction which would put it closer to Papau New Guinea? IDK.

I haven't kept up with this thread, but admire all of you for still being here.
The other day I was talking with a gentleman who is receiving his degree in Aviation Mechanics. He was in the military, and has ten years experience as an aircraft mechanic.
I asked what his thoughts were on M370. He said there are only 2 reasons an aircraft would turn around / go off course: 1) Electrical failure, or 2) Mechanical failure. He explained why the plane would not turn around in a hijack situation (something about the plane remaining on course, while engaging some sort of hijack notification). Anyway, not saying he's right, just saying what his opinion was. He also said one of 2 things likely happened to the plane. Because it was either mechanical or electrical failure, in his opinion, the pilot would have tried to make an emergency landing on water. The condition of the plane would then be dependent upon the pilot's skill, how he was able to make the water landing. Depending on how he hit the water, the plane would either have broken into a few large pieces (tail, wing, etc), or virtually disintegrated. And if it is in large pieces, it will likely never be found because it is now deep deep in the abyss of the ocean where subs can't even go.
As I said early on, all of this is way above my head. I'm just repeating what this man said.

I don't mind people spending money trying to find this plane but this plane will never be found IMO. That part of the ocean has never even been explored nor do we know the exact depth. Anything that sinks in those depths are crushed flatter than flat including anything that included air such as a flotation device...Gone.
I do begrudge the constant nagging about the cost of the search. Really because I believe they know what happened to this plane.
So they are wasting millions of dollars ,and I wouldn't know exactly how much except they keep telling me, to find a plane that they know isn't lost.

Remotely Operated Vehicle KAIKO reached the deepest area of Mariana trench and made the deepest diving record of 10,911 m on March 24, 1995 ... The fourth [descent] was made by Canadian film director James Cameron in 2012. On 26 March, he reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench in the submersible vessel Deepsea Challenger

The transponder(which was quickly turned off or damaged) IS the mechanism by which pilots alert ATC to emergencies, such as comms loss and or terrorist attack.
A fully fueled triple 7 changing course drastically should have set off alarms like no tomorrow and would have anywhere, except a third world, amateurish, banana republic.
There's a reason an ICAO FLIGHT PLAN is required and filed prior to leaving sovereign air space and entering someone else's sovereign air space OR returning to your own sovereign air space after you have left it.
If you don't, in most places, you are guaranteed to see your tax dollars at work with a fighter escort(yes civilian pilots are trained on how to read military fighter pilot hand signals)
I was in the ocean industry for many years. That plane is crushed flat on the bottom of the ocean and will never be found. It is the force of water at depth. Sad but true.
IMO, before resuming to expensive searches, they need to go back to square one and analyse the data with other companies that are offering assistance.
In my firm belief, I don't care where a huge 777 crashed, there would be some debris either floating or washed up on shore.
