Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 missing!

Looking at Google Earth, Tawi Tawi is in the opposite direction to where they've been looking, and I also doubt if any wreckage could even find the Indian Ocean from there - weird!

Although I suppose you could construct a theory that the wreckage could have come off in flight before the plane turned back only to ditch on a remote island. Shades of Lost here. Doesn't sound very credible though.

The strange bit is the fuselage filled with skeletons. Not really a Lost scenario. You'd think they'd have tried to find help.
Here's a weird one - maybe the theory that the passengers and crew lost conciousness is correct, and that the flight then continued on. But maybe instead of a straight line it flew in a wide circle, looping back and then crashing.

That makes sense to me.
 
MH370 search team finds new shipwreck

Sydney - The hunt for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 has uncovered a shipwreck deep underwater, officials said on Wednesday, the second such discovery since the search began almost two years ago.

An Australian-led team continues to scour the southern Indian Ocean seabed in hope of finding the final resting place of MH370, which vanished on March 8, 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.

In July last year, a two-metre-long flaperon wing part washed up on a beach on the Indian Ocean island of Reunion and was confirmed to be from the ill-fated flight, marking the first concrete evidence that it met a tragic end.

Nothing has been found since despite more than 80 000 square kilometres of the seafloor being searched, based on satellite analysis of the jet's likely trajectory after it diverted from its flight path.

But another shipwreck - an iron or steel-hulled vessel believed to have gone down at the turn of the 19th century - has been discovered about 3 700 metres deep....

MH370 search team loses sonar detector mapping seabed

The Australian team looking for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has lost the sonar detector they were using for their search.

On Sunday, the deep-water detector, or towfish, "collided with a mud volcano which rises 2,200 metres from the seafloor," an official statement said.

Both the device and 4,500 metres of snapped cable are now resting on the sea floor.

The search team believe they will be able to recover both at a later date.

The Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC), overseeing the search, did not say whether the loss would delay their operation, which they have said will be completed by June.

Flight MH370 disappeared in March 2014, with 239 people on board, during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Based on satellite communications data, the plane is thought to have crashed in the Indian Ocean, but only one piece of debris from the plane has ever been found, on the French island of Reunion.

Just wondering, who is still funding the search?

Cost of the Search
The Australian Government has provided around $90 million as part of Australia's contribution to the search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, including $60 million towards the cost of the underwater search effort.

The final cost of the search will depend on a number of factors, including the outcome of procurement processes for specialist services, the length of the search and the extent of contributions from other countries. It is expected that the underwater search may cost up to $180 million.

On 28 August 2014, Australian Deputy Prime Minister, the Hon Warren Truss and Malaysian Minister for Transport Dato' Sri Liow Tiong Lai, signed the Memorandum of Understanding on Cooperation between the Government of Malaysia and the Government of Australia in relation to MH370. At that time, Malaysian Government committed to matching Australia's costs in the underwater search for MH370.

The People's Republic of China has committed $20 million in the form of funding and equipment.

In addition to the earlier commitment to match Australia's contribution of $60 million, Malaysia has agreed to fund the balance of the costs associated with searching the entire 120,000 square kilometre search area.

Moz hotelier discusses possible MH370 piece

4 March 2016

Tony Manna, who owns a beachfront hotel in the Mozambican town of Vilankulo, said American adventurer Blaine Gibson was a guest at Manna's lodge, the Varanda, when he discovered debris that could be a piece of tail section from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which disappeared March 8 2014 with 239 people aboard.

...

On Friday, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau's chief commissioner Martin Dolan, who is heading up the search for the plane off Australia's west coast, said the part should arrive in the nation's capital, Canberra, early next week.

It is being taken to Australia rather than Malaysia because the ATSB has facilities set up for examining aircraft wreckage and trained technical staff on hand to help, he said. The part will be analysed by multiple people, including ATSB materials failure experts, with Boeing representatives and the Malaysian investigation team giving advice.

Investigators hope that once the part arrives, they will be able to confirm whether or not the piece is from Flight 370 within a matter of days, Dolan said.
