This is from The Star :
- PETALING JAYA: The area in the southern Indian Ocean where acoustic signals were detected in early April has been ruled out as the "final resting place" of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.
- "The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has advised that ..in its professional judgement, the area can now be discounted as the final resting place of MH370," (JACC) media statement on Thursday.
- JACC said the Bluefin-21 completed its last search mission the remaining areas
- data analysed and no signs of aircraft debris have been found
- SYDNEY (AFP): A series of acoustic transmissions ..are no longer believed to have come from the plane's black box, a US navy official said Thursday.
- The Navy's deputy director of ocean engineering Michael Dean told CNN there was now broad agreement that they came from some other man-made source unrelated to the jet
- if the ping-emitting beacons, detected in early April, were from the onboard data or voice recorders they would have been found by now.
- "(the pings were) likely some sound produced by the ship ... or within the electronics of the towed pinger locator," Dean said.
- "Always your fear any time you put electronic equipment in the water is that if any water gets in and grounds or shorts something out, that you could start producing sound."
So it is official now. Flight MH370 did not end in the southern Indian Ocean.
Where is the plane? In the South China Sea? Kandahar? Central Asia? Diego Garcia?
