MH370's resting place nearer Indonesia, investigators say
BTN News Friday, 06 May 2016
The search for the missing Malaysia Airlines B777 MH370 that mysteriously vanished more than two years ago on March 8 2014, could end as it began, with nothing.
United States-based author and investigator Jeff Wise says an unpublished new document from the French government indicates the plane could have come down closer to Indonesia in the north.
Wise says a report from the French meteorological agency determined a flaperon (believed to have been part of MH370) shows that, due to the extensive growth of marine organisms known as lepas on the flaperon, the debris fragment could not have drifted to Reunion from the current search area — but instead came from a site farther north, near Indonesia.
The findings agree with a new computer analysis by mathematician Brock McEwen, that shows that based on drift patterns of the flaperon and other likely MH370 debris fragments, the likely final resting place of the missing Malaysia Airlines plane is considerably north of the search area known as 'The Seventh Arc'.

The above bbm, is what most of us have thought all along. With only a handful of weeks left until the search comes to an end, I really wonder if they will ever find this aircraft!
What I keep hoping for is more debris to shift, drift, and be found washed up on one of the islands. Hopefully suitcases, cushions etc. will eventually wash ashore and provide more clues.
I really feel for these poor families who are still looking for answers and some hope for closure.
I have always thought that they were searching too far down. If the plane were seen at a low altitude going over the northern tip of Malaysia and again on the horizon from the Maldives and Pulau Islands, it would have been burning up the fuel at a much faster rate and therefore could not have gone as far as was projected.
I hope they will find the plane soon and prove me wrong.
