FIRST ON 7: An Adelaide-based exploration company believes it may have located the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, 5000km away from where authorities have been looking.
The company, GeoResonance, says its research has identified elements on the ocean floor consistent with material from a plane.
Six weeks have now passed since the plane disappeared and extensive searches in the Indian Ocean have failed to locate any wreckage.
Today, Prime Minister Tony Abbott admitted the chance of finding debris on the surface is slim to none.
Air search for MH370 called off: Abbott
He said efforts will not focus on the ocean floor, but GeoResonance believes authorities have been looking in the wrong place.
It started its own search for the missing aircraft on March 10.
“The technology that we use was originally designed to find nuclear warheads, submarines… our team in the Ukraine decided we should try and help,” David Pope from GeoResonance said.
The company surveyed over 2,000,000 square kilometres of the possible crash zone, using images obtained from satellites and aircraft.
Scientists focused their efforts north of the flight’s last known location, using over 20 technologies to analyse the data including a nuclear reactor.
They could not believe what they found in the Bay of Bengal.
“Our team was very excited when we found what we believe to be the wreckage of a commercial airliner,” Mr Pope said.
Pavel Kursa from GeoResonance told 7News: “We identified chemical elements and materials that make up a Boeing 777… these are aluminium, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials.”
An initial report was sent to authorities while the black box still had two weeks of battery power.
The team then verified its findings by analysing images from the same area on March 5, three days before the plane disappeared.
“The wreckage wasn’t there prior to the disappearance of MH370,” Mr Pope said.
The full report was delivered on April 15.
“We’re not trying to say that it definitely is MH370, however it is a lead we feel should be followed up,” Mr Pope told 7News.
7News tried to contact the office of search co-coordinator Angus Houston today but there was no response.
That is cold.
But then, she was frigid.
Anyone hear about the NY pilot that found the wreckage off the coast of Malaysia on TomNod?
Must be ‘theater-week’...
Sully would beg to differ with you
Black Hole of Calcutta? It’s a legendary prison in Calcutta.
Joke son, it was a joke.
So fridgid every time she spread her legs a little light cam on
That’s the pic.
I’m just ROFLMAO over the whole thing. If the plane IS there, then they faked the ping data.
If it is there, then what did multiple ships detect on those frequencies?
If it is there, and it’s broken as he asserts, where’s the wreckage that would have washed up weeks ago? Or bodies?
If it’s NOT there, then it could be in the Bay of Bengal. Hey...they found ELEMENTS.
If it’s not there, then it could be on Diego Garcia.
If it’s not there, then it could have landed in the Andamans.
If it’s not there...I hear Lost is gearing up with a new publicity campaign.../s
The scandal with the pingers is a big joke. The frequency (33.9Khz), it is close to 32.768 khz common frequency used in digital circuits for real timers that go off every second. Used by digital real time circuits for digital watches, computers, marine diving equipment.
I think someone posted they never identified that the pingers came from the plane. The protocol allows for the pinger detector to send a signal to get the aircraft id and air craft serial id number.
I got a big laugh when I saw them using a scope. You would think in this day and age it would be a device with an a/d convertor with DSP to recognize the ping and use the protocol.
With my knowledge & background, that’s what I’d expect, too.
I just don’t have exposure to these types of operations.
Only 17 metric tons of titanium in a Boeing777-200. 9% by weight. 190,000 kg operating empty weight.
The plane under water is too perfect. The ocean is a lot different than that river.
Plane is too deep to be that intact.
I generally never watch CNN or care about prisons in Calcutta...
But thanks anyway.
Thanks for that information.
Plane is too deep to be that intact.
**********************
If it landed intact it would be on the bottom intact ... it’ll just glide on down ... it’s not perfectly sealed like a sub ,, so it won’t crush.
maybe it’s the 02 Oct ‘45 missing plane from the No. 203 Squadron RAF ?
One thing is for certain, GeoResonance has some publicity. Now, does it have a plane?
The landing on the Hudson proves you are wrong.......
