If you look at this story, and this map

Coupled with the comments:

Officials are emphasizing caution but several factors explain the intense effort that has been mustered around this lead.

Australia took charge of the search in the Southern Indian Ocean earlier this week based on a potential track for the plane along what has been called the “southern corridor”. This flight path is based on a series of rudimentary satellite communications from the Boeing 777 over the course of seven hours after it last contacted air traffic control, and the distance it could have flown in that time.

The site of the debris field is almost exactly at the end point of this southern corridor. This is, the hypothesis goes, the point at which the plane would have run out of fuel and crashed.

...and consider the "7 hourly pings"...

...and also consider that the prevailing winds/currents are pushing anything TOWARDS Australia...

With the margin of error plotted on that map between the 'predicted flight path arc' and the plotted 'ping locations'...

Either the data being spoon-fed to the public is egregiously in error (intentional or not) or they're damned lucky they found anything at all.

There was a second flight path south that they considered that assumed a slower speed of 460mph as opposed to 518mph.

And that 460 line takes it closer to Indonesia and Australia than the one that they keep showing.

That 460 line may still be in play.

You link doesn't work.
I think this is it.

The Possible MH370 Debris Sighting Fits Right In The Expected Flight Path

Here are two airports under the northern route of the red arc:

Qyzylorda, Kazakhstan UAOO
Rwy 06/24 is 8858 x 148 Ft

Almaty, Kazakhstan UAAA
Two parallel runways over 14,000 ft long.

I still believe that MH370, a Boeing 777-200ER, is in Iran or Pakistan.
