“We’ve been looking in the wrong part of the Indian Ocean for the past two years,” says the search team of MH370. A massive search operation in still underway for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet MH370. The officials leading the team say they believe that the plane may have glided down rather than dived in the final moments, meaning they have been scouring the wrong patch of ocean for two years.
The search operation of MH370 is being led by engineering group Fugro and is spread over 120,000 square kilometres of the southern Indian Ocean off Western Australia. The operation is expected to end in three months and later it could be called off after that following a meeting of Malaysia, China and Australia.
Paul Kennedy, Fugro project director, told Reuters that if its’s not there, it means it’s somewhere else.
He added, “If it was manned it could glide for a long way. You could glide it for further than our search area is, so I believe the logical conclusion will be well maybe that is the other scenario.”
The MH370 disappeared with 239 passengers ad crew onboard in March 2014 en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.
