Based on the most recent analysis of satellite data, the plane is believed to have ended its journey in seas far west of the Australian city of Perth.
The latest zone is some 1,000km south west of the area which was extensively searched with underwater surveying equipment in April.
Over the last few months, the Australian authorities have been conducting an underwater depth survey of the latest search area.

This is a Boeing 777...next step below a 747...this is not a small plane. This is weird.

Have you flown across the Pacific? The Earth is BIG, really big! There is a vast amount of water to cover in a search and they are still (as far as I know) unsure which way the aircraft was actually heading at the time all the fuel would have been exhausted.
...”this is not a small plane”
There are still planes lost in WW2 being found.
There was one recently in Alaska, if i remember correctly there was a b17 found in a glacier within last 10 yrs.
When taken in perspective, the earth is large and planes are small in relation.
Nothing weird about it.
Volume of the "big plane":7,000 ft3
Volume of the Indian Ocean: 9,323,072,014,500,000,000 ft3
It’s a little weird when a passenger jet full of passengers vanishes without a trace in 2014. imo.
It took a long time to find the explorer Fossett...who was “just out for a short trip around a Nevada airstrip”
Did they ever find Fossett? Please tell me, I’m too lazy to look it up.

Why? 72 virgins?
Save family from being beheaded?
Went postal ?
We would never know because these reasons would be covered up.
The sand was soft and fine and blew into dunes, and buried most of the plane.
At first they had another huge mystery.
The crew left written messages and hiked off in a certain direction after their food and water had almost run out.
Their disarticulated bones were found scattered over a wide area.
But, in that part of the desert, there are no animals to tear apart bodies!
After contacting various scientists, they learned that the dunes actually tear the bodies apart as they change size and move around.
They found his ID and a few large bones, and that was about it.
The auto pilot might be able to keep the plane mostly level after the engines ran out of fuel so that it wasn’t going all that fast when it hit the water.
Another big problem is there are large amounts of trash floating around in the water in those parts of the world. Whatever did float off the plane could be hidden among the trash.
I seem to recall that they found a very large section of wing from the space shuttle Challenger floating in the water off of Florida....a couple of decades after it exploded and crashed into the ocean.
Ocean big...airplane small...
Soooo, is this thread trying to say that the former MH370 IS in the hands of terrorists and will fly again in an attack on the US or that it is not?
Hey! (That’s my line.)
