Seems like they need to search between the Maldives and reunion island.
Finding the Titanic was probably easier. Seriously, it could take them years upon years upon years to find that plane.

Why didn't authorities at least send a small team to the Maldives immediately after they heard reports from Maldives fishermen of a low flying jet plane?
I heard the local gov was embarrassed because it couldn't detect "said" plane on radar. This made them adamant about dismissing all claims as false.
Many people saw what they claimed to be a low flying plane. Even one gov official saw a plane bank, and then heard a loud boom. Some say that's why they found the flap separated from the wing (used in banking).
Crazy that there wasn't even the slightest interest in checking out the leads, anyway.

Agree but it's looking their search area is off big time based on eye witness accounts in the Maldives and debris showing up.
I realize we're talking the ocean here, but maybe they can find a different place to send that unmanned search device that's mapping the sea floor near Australia..

Consider this...perhaps the refusal to check the Maldives is because the top secret US military base on Diego Garcia may have influenced authorities to search elsewhere simply because Diego Garcia's radar missed the plane too. Imagine how embarrassing it would be for the US military to have to admit that their secret island base didn't detect the plane?
Just look at how close Diego Garcia is to the Maldives. You're telling me that a top secret state of the art military base on Diego Garcia couldn't detect the low flying plane? If Diego Garcia actually couldn't detect the low flying plane, that would be a huge security issue, wouldn't it? It would make the base vulnerable to attack from Mideast countries and China.
Right now, Diego Garcia scares the shite out of Mideast countries and China because all of those countries are within the aerial strike zone of Diego Garcia. I bet you anything Diego Garcia played a HUGE role in convincing search authorities to look elsewhere for the plane.

Although I don't believe the different governments involved are trying to hide aliens and big foot.... I do have a suspicion that they essentially showed air defense vulnerabilities via this tragedy and therefore are making minimal efforts to help. It probably did fly right over the Maldives like so many have claimed.

the more I think about it the more I think Diego Garcia may have influenced the original search teams. When I say "Diego Garcia", I mean the US government.

Or, Diego Garcia did detect the low flying jet plane, considered it to be a HUGE threat because it was flying toward Diego Garcia, and they shot the fricker down.
Then, upon hearing news that a passenger jet was missing, Diego Garcia went black...ordered to be quiet, play dumb.
I absolutely could see that being a likely scenario.

Pretty far from the other wreckage found. Article says not yet confirmed to be from MH 370.

Damn, that is crazy. Is the portion of the peninsula where that piece was found extremely remote? It's nuts with all those people looking that big piece was never found.

It just washed up.

New possible debris:

A South African archaeologist has found a piece of debris stamped with a Rolls Royce logo that could be from doomed Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Malaysia's transport minister said on Tuesday that authorities will examine the object to see if it is from the plane, which disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. 'Based on early reports, there is a possibility of the piece originating from an inlet cowling of an aircraft engine,' said Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai, adding further examination and analysis was needed.

Are they still actively searching for the wreck site?

Gotta wonder if they will just stop at some point.

They were supposed to stop this summer but they lost the sonar device recently. No idea what happens now. They did confirm the debris found last month was MH370. And they found more yesterday.

The “SLH-ProSAS-60 towfish” is a sonar device that can operate 6,000m below the surface of the sea, but still churn out images with 10cm x 10cm resolution. But as the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) weekly report notes, the Chinese vessel “Dong Hai Jiu 101 is en route to Fremantle after an incident on the evening of 21 March in which the failure of a tow cable connector resulted in the loss of the SLH-ProSAS-60 towfish.”

Lets find natalee Holloway and MH370. Lots of mand-made debris discovered from discarded satellite images at coordinates 35.6°S, 92.8°E. Photos taken 2 weeks after its disappearance. Once a year bump never hurt anyone

SYDNEY -- Groundbreaking evidence from previously discarded French satellite imagery and refined ocean drift modelling may have pinpointed the geographic crash site of the MH370 aircraft wreckage.
quote:
In four images taken by French military satellite Airbus PLEIADES in 2014, 70 "identifiable objects" ranging in classification from "probably natural" to "probably man-made" were spotted. Thirty-six of those objects were found located within the area surveyed in satellite image PHR_4 and 12 objects overall were deemed to have been built by humans. Nine of those objects were found within the PHR_4 image area alone. The images were previously rejected from the search back in 2014, before the ATSB was working on the efforts, but have since been revisited.
quote:
While researchers were unable to confidently describe the objects as aircraft debris, the photographs, linked with the CSIRO's ocean drift modelling, has revealed an "impact location" where the 9M-MRO aircraft most likely entered the Indian Ocean. "Assuming that some of the objects identified in the Pleiades images are indeed debris items from 9M-MRO, we have shown that there is an impact location that is consistent with those sightings," the report said. "This location is 35.6°S, 92.8°E
