Anyone have an idea how this site compares with the scheduled flight path of the plane? Any idea how deep it is?
the depth, from Reuters:
“The search area covered an ocean ridge known as Naturalist Plateau, a large sea shelf about 3,500 metres (9,800 feet) deep, Pattiaratchi said. The plateau is about 250 km (150 miles) wide by 400 km (250 miles) long, and the area around it is close to 5,000 metres (16,400 feet) deep. “ http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/03/20/us-malaysiaairlines-flight-idUSBREA2701720140320
It’s so far off from it’s scheduled path to Beijing that it’s in an entirely different part of the world.
