More clues to missing MH370
Print Edition
AUSTRALIAN authorities searching for the wreckage of a Malaysia Airlines jet should urgently re-investigate two areas in the Indian Ocean where sonar pictures show what could be debris from the plane, deep-sea search experts said yesterday.
An Australia-led search has so far found no trace of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, which went missing with 239 passengers and crew in March last year.
However, US firm Williamson & Associates said images of the southern Indian Ocean floor released by the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau (ATSB) this month bore a striking similarity to the debris field Air France flight 447 left on the Atlantic Ocean floor when it crashed in 2009.
The ATSB provided the images of the two sites as part of an update in which it also said a re-scan of the areas indicated they were not related to MH370.
The US firm, however, said in a report it “believes the target (sonar image) bears the hallmarks of a classic high-impact debris trail”
“Any target with these characteristics should be investigated as a high priority,” it said.
