Of course the MH370 search was a red herring, and you and the rest of the clones were wrong thinking the same as they did, that the plane was anywhere near the search area.
Go suck on that, fat man.
Any questions about Oz's bathymetric survey, go look it up.
You couldn't even debunk a golf ball woozy!
The plane ain't there where you and Oz and other idiots along with INMARSAT claimed!
You yowled on about the "experts" and their fuzzy maths as being infallible,that barnacles and marine growth wouldn't give a clue, but your dribble was all wrong, INMARSAT was wrong.
What was it you claimed, that, your daddy was an air accident investigator, as if that's some sort of proof that you're somehow "in the know",... which you aren't!
My daddy was a boxer, doesn't mean I can box, harry balyhooha!
I think it's more likely that they were interested in the effects global warming is having on methane hydrates.
More likely than not.

Canberra: An Australian government agency in charge of the ongoing search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has reportedly retracted a published theory that the aircraft crashed into the sea after a "death dive".
Earlier this week, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) said it was unlikely that the plane's captain glided the plane into the sea, and instead said engine failure due to lack of fuel had sparked a sudden "death dive" into the southern Indian Ocean, Xinhua news agency reported.
ATSB Chief Commissioner Greg Hood told The Australian daily that the agency had come to a consensus with a number of other agencies about the theory, including aircraft manufacturer Boeing, the US National Transport Safety Board and the Malaysian Department of Civil Aviation.
At the time, he said analysis of satellite data by Defence Department scientists concluded the plane made a sudden and rapid descent at more than 10 times the usual descent rate.
But on Friday, independent investigators noticed the ATSB had withdrawn the claim from its website without explanation.
Richard Godfrey from an independent group of MH370 expert observers told News Corp that he noticed the "consensus" claim had been deleted after it was picked up by computer tracker.
Godfrey said the deletion of the consensus theory could mean that not all experts on the strategy group agree with the "death dive" consensus.
"Another possibility is that it was assumed there was a consensus, but then some party complained and the published report had to be changed," he said.
MH370 was carrying 239 passengers and crew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared on 8 March, 2014.

The search for Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is expected to finish by the end of the year, the agency coordinating the search said in a statement.
The Joint Agency Coordination Centre said that more than 110,000 square kilometres of Indian Ocean seafloor has been searched so far out of a planned 120,000 sq km (46,332 square miles) area.
At a meeting in July Malaysia, Australia and China agreed to suspend the search if the aircraft is not found in the 120,000 sq km area.
Bad weather has hampered the search but the Fugro Equator vessel is in the search area and conducting operations. A Chinese ship, the Dong Hai Jiu 101, is undergoing maintenance in Australia, prior to rejoining the search.
Over the last nine months there has been a range of debris found along western Indian Ocean shorelines that has been linked to MH370. In July 2015 wreckage from an aircraft was found on La Réunion in the Indian Ocean near Madagascar. The wreckage, a flaperon, was identified as coming from MH370.
The flaperon is important as it was the first piece of debris found and had spent the least amount of time drifting.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has been modelling the drift of MH370 debris, with a further intensive study to be undertaken. The ATSB hopes that in time a specific location of the aircraft will be able to be identified.
Flight MH370 disappeared in March 2014 with 239 passengers and crew onboard on a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing. Investigators believe the plane was deliberately flown thousands of miles off course before crashing into the southern Indian Ocean off Australia.

MH370 Search Likely To End In December | Airwise News
Well, you never know....10,000 square kilometres to go........that's quite a big area.
Australian investigators believe MH370 wreckage missed in 1st search, 2nd sweep to begin in October
A second sweep could mean the ongoing search would continue beyond December.

The ongoing search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 in the designated 120,000sq km seafloor of the southern Indian Ocean could have missed the wreckage, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB), which is leading the search operation, has said. A bureau official claimed that there are chances the search could continue well beyond December 2016, the time, when the search was supposed to be abandoned, if the wreckage was not found.
Dan O'Malley, a spokesman for ATSB, told The Daily Beast that some "targets" have been identified, which were possibly missed while scouring through the ocean bed. These targets, he said, are "scattered throughout the greater search area".
Earlier, it was suspected that the wreckage was being searched in the wrong area, with several doubts being raised on the theory adopted by investigators to base their calculations of the plane's location. Contrary to what investigators had claimed that the aircraft was unmanned during its final moments, some experts suspected that the plane was glided towards the Indian Ocean by someone in control – possibly the pilot himself– and the wreckage is likely to be found farther away from the designated search area.
However, ATSB admitted that there were gaps in their search in designated zones which added a fresh angle to the search. The news would be welcomed by family members of the victims, who had been pleading authorities to not abandon the search after the designated 120,000sq km seafloor was scanned.
The Australian transport body told the American online news website that a second sweep of the search area will be made "to investigate sonar contacts that are judged to warrant a closer look". It is expected to begin in October, when the weather in the Southern Hemisphere becomes more conducive to search.
A Chinese-owned search vessel, the Dong Hai Jiu 101, which is equipped with a remotely operated vehicle will be used by a Maryland-based company, Phoenix International, to scan area. The vessel is set to leave Fremantle, Australia.

So far, almost 110,000km of the search area has been scoured by authorities. The search for the Boeing 777, which went missing in 2014 with 239 passengers on board on its way to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, has already cost authorities close to $180m (£137m).
MH370: 2nd sweep of targeted points in designated search area to begin in October
Scientific analysis of barnacles from a piece of missing flight MH370's wing has provided clues as to where it may have floated on ocean currents.
The flaperon, from a wing, was found on La Reunion Island in July 2015, 16 months after the plane disappeared in March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
Australian National University's Professor Patrick De Deckker was given part of a barnacle shell from one of the plane's flaperons to study and found it had started growing warm waters.
He told Daily Mail Australia the majority of its growing life occurred in colder waters, likely at the latitude of Perth or lower.

During the final stages of its life, it grew again in warmer waters.
He told The Courier Mail: 'my findings are consistent with the current search area and the drift modelling done by the CSIRO [Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation]'.
But Prof De Deckker made it clear his analysis of calcium and magnesium ratios in the shell weren't definitive.
How long the barnacle had been alive for was not clear and growth also depended on food availability.
They could have started growing the moment the flaperon was in the water, or much later.
The flaperon, from a wing, was found on La Reunion Island in July 2015, 16 months after the plane disappeared in March 2014 while flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
Scientists also didn't know much about the barnacles, he said.
He told Daily Mail Australia his findings were different to that of French colleagues who were also studying the barnacles.
Their research had not yet been released and the information had to be handled carefully as the issue was sensitive, he said.
The search for the missing plane, a Boeing 777, is set to shift to a 120,000 square kilometre area of the Southern Indian Ocean which Professor De Deckker identified as where barnacles grew for an extensive period of time.

'Nuff said.He told The Courier Mail: 'my findings are consistent with the current search area and the drift modelling done by the CSIRO [Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation]'.
Not yet.
The French findings might indicate a different provenance for the barnacles.
Larry Vance, a Canadian flight-accident investigator who has worked on more than 200 aviation disasters, says the plane was deliberately brought down to the ocean level in such a way as to ensure it sunk intact.
Saying the flaps are used to lower speed in the final stages of a flight, he told Der Spiegel they must have been intentionally activated in the moments before the crash.
"The photos clearly show that the trailing edges of these devices are severely damaged whereas the leading edges are virtually unharmed. This is an extremely significant piece of information," he said, adding that the flaps could only have been extended by somebody in the cockpit.
"Somebody wanted that airplane to land on the surface of the ocean in such a way that the fuselage stayed intact, so that everything would go to the bottom, never to be found or seen again."
The only mystery was "why somebody would do this", he said.
However the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, which is leading the search, believes there was no pilot at the controls during the plane's final moments, based on data obtained from automated signals sent out by the aircraft.
The last place you would put the aircraft, if you didn't want it found , is in the water.Originally Posted by harrybarracuda
All these theories overlook one simple point. the emergency beacons, so until one of these alleged experts can tell how/why the beacons didn't go off, their controlled or otherwise landing, is guess work at best.
3300 posts and over 2 years past and they know about as much as they did 60 days after it disappeared.
Oh well. Let's search the same area all over again.
