MOSCOW, October 23 (RIA Novosti) - Seven and a half months after the Boeing 777 went missing en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board there are new clues about the whereabouts of its wreckage, as cited by Independent UK.
In the past few months there has been speculation from the Australian public regarding debris washed up on the coasts of Australia, which some have assumed could be the remains of MH 370. Although each of those reports is “reviewed carefully”, as stated by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) it is likely that any wreckage would have drifted the other way. Australia has asked Indonesian officials to make public the possibility of evidence from the MH370 disaster appearing on its shoreline.
As cited in the report which was released yesterday by ATSB, “It is possible that some materials may have drifted to the coastline of Indonesia, and an alert has been issued in that country, requesting that the authorities be alerted to any possible debris from the aircraft.”
Meanwhile, officials announced that a second ship, The Discovery, provided by Dutch contractor Fugro, arrived in the remote area of the Southern Indian ocean yesterday, and is preparing to join the operation in the search zone identified using satellite data about 1,100 miles west of Australia, as cited by the Independent UK.
Independent UK further added that Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has expressed positivity regarding the missing airplane stating, “We must continue to hope because sometimes hope is all we have. We will find MH370.”
According to Associated Press, “despite a massive air and sea search, not a single piece of debris from the plane has been found.”
In an interview with German magazine Spiegel, the chief executive of Emirates Sir Tim Clark said: 'MH370 remains one of the great aviation mysteries. Personally, I have the concern that we will treat it as such and move on. At the most, it might then make an appearance on National Geographic as one of aviation's great mysteries. We mustn't allow this to happen. We must know what caused that airplane to disappear,' as cited by Associated Press.
He added: “MH370 was, in my opinion, under control, probably until the very end.”
