Searchers: Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 isn't in area thought to be its most likely resting place
CANBERRA, Australia -- An Australian agency says investigators have concluded that the missing Malaysian jet is not within an area thought to be its most likely resting place after an unmanned submersible found no sign of the plane.
The Joint Agency Coordination Center (JACC) said Thursday the U.S. Navy's Bluefin 21 had finished its final underwater mission in the southern Indian Ocean on Wednesday after scouring 330 square miles looking for Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.
The agency said an expanded search of 21,600 sq. miles, based on satellite analysis of the plane's most likely route, would probably begin in August after operators of much more powerful commercial side-scan sonar are contracted. Officials say the renewed search could take eight months to a year.
The plane carrying 239 people vanished March 8 on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

A serious question: Where do you think the plane is?

I have no idea where that plane is. I wish they would find the plane on an island with most of the passengers alive because they survived, but wishful thinking is just that, wishful.

(51,076 posts)that that particular plane had an issue earlier that would indicate that it could have lost pressure. The change they made could have been the pilots trying to return or something after realizing something was wrong only to succumb to hypoxia like the rest of the people on board. I really don't know but I do know there is no magic in this world and I seriously doubt there were any sinister deals involved so what else is there but what I suggested

(60,010 posts)Since a lot of info from Malaysian authorities does not make sense, some folks are thinking there is a cover up, for some reason.
Maybe the authorities there are being very TEPCO like and covering their asses.,
maybe they know something but aren't telling.
