Hopes of finding missing MH370 ‘are fading fast’

Australian air crash investigators’ hopes that the missing Malaysian Airlines jet will be found are fading fast as time and space run out for locating the aircraft.

As the hunt for MH370 enters the final 13,000sq km of its designated 120,000sq km search area in the south Indian Ocean, the head of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, Martin Dolan, said there was a “diminishing level of confidence we will find the aircraft”. “We still think there is a good chance we will find the aircraft but that probability is falling so we have to start contemplating that we may not succeed,” he said. “Everyone … is still focused on the fact that the remaining 13,000sq km is still a lot of territory and it’s still entirely possible the aircraft is there. But we are also starting to think about the implications of not finding it.”

The ATSB is working on a ­report for the government should the search prove fruitless that will consider alternative possibilities for what happened to the plane, including the “rogue pilot” theory that posits the captain of MH370 hijacked his own aircraft and purposely crashed it into the sea.

“If we eliminate the entire 120,000sq km zone, we have eliminated the hypothesis … that there was no control inputs at the end of flight.” Mr Dolan said. “At this point an alternative hypothesis would need to be considered. Since we eliminate the hypothesis of no control inputs, then we look at the ways in which there was control, which would include a controlled ditching or a glide.”

Flight MH370 Update: Malaysia Won’t Shift Search Area After Discovery Of 5 Debris Pieces In Western Indian Ocean


Malaysia will not shift the underwater search area for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 after five pieces of debris were found in the western Indian Ocean, Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said Friday. The comments come just a day after Australian authorities confirmed that the two new debris pieces found on the beaches of South Africa and Mauritius were "almost certainly" from the missing Boeing 777-200.

"We won't shift the search area. From the debris found, it actually confirms that our search area is the right area looking at the drift pattern," Liow said, adding that the area is the "most probable" crash site.

And if they finally do find it, after spending millions of dollars, I wonder how they'll justify the cost after quickly realizing that the captain pulled the pulled the FDR and CVR breakers.  Without that data, finding the wreckage accomplishes next to nothing.

MH370: BBC reader finds possible debris in Mozambique

   27 May 2016

Luca Kuhn von Burgsdorff contacted the BBC on Thursday to say he found the fragment on the Macaneta peninsula.

The authorities have been notified. The piece must be examined by the official investigation team in Australia.

Experts say it is consistent with where previous pieces of debris from the missing plane have been found.

Odds of finding Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and the 239 aboard dwindle as search draws to a close

The odds of locating Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 and the remains of the 239 people on board are dwindling, experts have said, as the search for the missing aircraft draws to a close.
View Quote


It’s impossible to say why the search team has been unable to locate the site of the wreckage. All the evidence gathered to date points to the designated search zone, a band of the Indian Ocean identified as the 7th arc.
View Quote


Why? Because their 'science' is wrong otherwise they would have found debris and their refusal to consider alternate crash locations is pure idiocy at this point.

A huge swath of the 120,000 sq.-km of the designated search zone, a territory roughly equivalent to that of North Korea, has already been combed. Once the search team completes the remaining 15,000 sq. km, sometime in July or August, the search will officially come to an end.
View Quote


Martin Dolan, the head of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), said there are still “good prospects” of finding the plane, but acknowledged that the possibility of doing so is decreasing.

“The best advice we had from all experts is that it was highly probable but not certain the aircraft would be found (within the search zone),” he told the Guardian. “We have to contemplate now the possibility that we will not find the aircraft.”

Your post after this as the gotcha talks to an ocean model giving the incorrect area not the starting point of the debris field.



And Australia is the lead at the request of the Malaysian Government, a request they could have rescinded at any time they chose.



So since you finally answered these questions:  Where exactly was the crash since you are so sure that they were dead wrong?

I don't know.

I just know that Australia has repeatedly issued statements about finding blackbox pings, debris, the actual plane, drift models, and $130 million search zones that have all been wrong. 100% wrong. Yet, they have a multi-billion dollar OTH radar system designed to cover the area where the plane alledgedly intruded and they publicly refuse to say if they ever saw it on their radar. Why?

So, in summation.

Australia has been 100% wrong on all accounts and they have nothing that they have found of the plane, not one atom.

However, on the other side of the planet, debris is still being found at odds to the 'expert' oceanographers original 'expert' analysis.

If Australia said it was raining outside, I would go check for myself because their 'experts' are usually wrong.

Even Australians see the elephant in the room.

Malaysia Airlines MH370: money wasted for no logical reason

The ATSB has a somewhat chequered history.

It has been criticised by pilots for its handling of the Norfolk ­Island Pel-Air Westwind ditching, where the pilot was hailed as a hero but then summarily “exe­cuted” by the Civil Aviation Safety Authority and the ATSB.

Its rail accident investigations have been found by experts to be slow, overly lengthy and unable to establish cause, or the correct cause, and not demonstrating ­independence (see the paper Lessons from Australian Derailment Investigations by rail engineer Ross Mitchell and solicitor Adam Bisits presented to the International Heavy Haul Association, Perth, in June last year).

Now comes the MH370 search. Does the A in ATSB stand for “amateur”? Is it composed of ­taxpayer-funded, self-appointed armchair experts with no relevant qualifications to enable them to make sound judgment on these ­issues? The identity of individuals who investigate is kept ­secret. Self-appointed armchair “aviation experts” abound and are a real problem in getting the media to acknowledge what is real and what are conspiracy nutcase ­theories.
View Quote


It is time the heavy hitters of the media demanded an explanation from the government and the ATSB about why they ignored professional aviation advice and wasted two years of time and taxpayers’ money by pushing the ­illogical pilot unresponsive theory that has absolutely no evidence to support it.

In their search based on the best evidence they had their search of around 30,000 mi² of the 28,000,000 mi² Indian Ocean working at a depth of right about three miles they haven't been able to find the needle in the haystack and the best you have is "I don't know".  They should have asked you instead and saved a bunch of time.  



Hell, they could have been parked on the debris the whole time and had a pretty low chance of finding it.

2) The Australians have all the 'evidence' they need. Just ask them to provide the radar tapes for the day the plane disappeared. Either they tracked it or they didn't. It's that simple.

Only two possibilities:

1) If they did not radar track it into their search areas, then they wasted $130 million on the search. The plane was never where they said it was.
2) If they did radar track it into their search areas, then they wasted $130 million on the search. Then they lied to the public.

If you read this thread, I have provided examples that they Australian government has provided tracking information to the media previously. Part of the mission of OTH radar system -- also covered in this thread -- is public safety.

JORN is so sensitive it is able to track planes as small as a Cessna 172 taking off and landing in East Timor 2600 km away.

It is also reportedly able to detect stealth aircraft, as typically these are designed only to avoid detection by microwave radar.




On March 20, 2014, it was reported that Malaysian Defence Minister (also Acting Transport Minister) Hishammuddin Hussein requested the US to give any information from the Pine Gap base near Alice Springs, possibly alluding to JORN as well.[33] On March 19, 2014, it was reported that an Australian Defence Department spokesman said it "won't be providing comment" regarding specific information on tracking MH370 by JORN.[34] However, several days prior to this, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the Australian Parliament, "All our defence intelligence relating to Flight 370 has been, and will continue to be, passed on to Malaysian authorities..."


In March 2015, before the July 2015 discovery of MH370 debris on Réunion Island, aviation technology expert Andre Milne requested information from JORN to prove or disprove that the aircraft ended up in the Indian Ocean, but he received no response from the Australian government.

Same guy, Blaine Gibson, keeps finding MH370 debris in Africa and now he has found personal items.


CNN)The waters off Madagascar in the Indian Ocean have delivered what debris hunter Blaine Gibson says could be the first personal items belonging to passengers aboard missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

Gibson told CNN he also found two possible pieces of debris on a beach near the same place he discovered other pieces of debris that Australian authorities have said "almost certainly" belong to the airliner.
View Quote


Gibson says he found them on the island of Nosy Boraha, off the east coast of Madagascar -- the same location where he found three possible plane debris pieces on June 6.
View Quote


Gibson says he found 15 to 20 possible personal effects, including a small backpack, purse, computer case, phone cases and cabin-sized carry-on type items, on a Madagascar beach between June 7 and June 16.

Malaysian and Australian authorities had been notified of the find, he said, and planned to collect them for analysis. Australian authorities said that would be the responsibility of the Malaysians.

I would like to see data from a ping arc test.  Fly a 777 along that arc and compare the ping data with the MH370 data.  Has this been done yet?

Asked and answered repeatedly over a several year span by now.

Yes, it's been done a few times. The data matches up.

A search in the seventh arc in the southern Indian Ocean, off southeast Australia, has found no sign of the plane after scouring 105,000 sq kms. A 15,000 sq km patch remains to be covered but bad weather has delayed the completion of the search until July or August.

Malaysia, China and Australia recently agreed not to continue the search for the plane unless there was new evidence showing where the plane exactly lies.

Two independent studies have concluded that MH370, based on the debris found so far, probably lies in the northern Indian Ocean. Eye witnesses in the Maldives have reported seeing a large plane, in the colours of Malaysia Airlines, flying west on March 8, 2014 and apparently on flames.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), which is spearheading the search for MH370, has confirmed the debris found so far shows the drift theory placing the plane in the southern Indian Ocean.

On a day when the future of the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 appeared in doubt, a new computer analysis of ocean drift patterns, tracing the possible paths of debris from the Boeing 777-200 found off the coast of southeastern Africa, shows that the entire search effort may have been wasted — because the area where searchers are combing the ocean floor is not where the plane went down.

But the newest computer analysis by statistician and independent Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 researcher Brock McEwen appears to show that the plane is nowhere near that 46,000 square mile area.

But the new McEwen study examined ocean drift patterns of debris in the Indian Ocean to trace the origin of the 13 pieces of known and suspected MH370 debris that have been located so far — all of them found by tourists and other private citizens not connected with the official search effort — and found that while all 13 pieces could have originated from numerous locations in the Indian Ocean, none of those possible crash sites overlapped with the current official search area.

Quoted:They won't provide the public the radar tapes from a national security early warning radar system the technical abilities of which are classified?  What a shocker.

And they were able to find something that they knew exactly where it was?  Conspiracy!!!!!
 


If you read this thread, I have provided examples that they Australian government has provided tracking information to the media previously. Part of the mission of OTH radar system -- also covered in this thread -- is public safety.

JORN is so sensitive it is able to track planes as small as a Cessna 172 taking off and landing in East Timor 2600 km away.

It is also reportedly able to detect stealth aircraft, as typically these are designed only to avoid detection by microwave radar.


https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/4d/JORS.svg/450px-JORS.svg.png

On March 20, 2014, it was reported that Malaysian Defence Minister (also Acting Transport Minister) Hishammuddin Hussein requested the US to give any information from the Pine Gap base near Alice Springs, possibly alluding to JORN as well.[33] On March 19, 2014, it was reported that an Australian Defence Department spokesman said it "won't be providing comment" regarding specific information on tracking MH370 by JORN.[34] However, several days prior to this, Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop told the Australian Parliament, "All our defence intelligence relating to Flight 370 has been, and will continue to be, passed on to Malaysian authorities..."


In March 2015, before the July 2015 discovery of MH370 debris on Réunion Island, aviation technology expert Andre Milne requested information from JORN to prove or disprove that the aircraft ended up in the Indian Ocean, but he received no response from the Australian government.
