    The Australian Transport Safety Bureau has today released an explosive new report that effectively narrows the search zone for the missing plane down to an area half the size of Melbourne.
    GeoScience Australia has been examining four satellite images of objects floating on the southern Indian Ocean taken two weeks after the plane went missing in the area identified late last year as MH370’s likely resting spot.
    They found 12 objects in those images that they deemed man-made and 28 that they regard as possibly man-made.

    Would seem logical, plane turns back to KL after some incident and just kept going until it ran out of fuel.

    You don't "turn back to KL" by flying West to the Andaman Sea.

    You mean the top secret radar plot of an unidenfied aircraft that they did't see on the night.
    They can't release the radar records as it's a secret radar system and it showed the plane climbing and diving to avoid radar, but the Thai radar didn't show that.

    Malaysia has been far from truthful and open since day one, try to find any information on this super secret over the horison radar system they claim to have.

    Why do you find it so strange that any military would want to keep their radar capabilities secret?

    Is it because you are bumbling old fool?

    I reckon he dunnit.

    PETALING JAYA: Data of a flight simulator session recovered from Capt Zaharie Ahmad Shah home was considered during the search for MH370, disclosed the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) in its 440-page final report.
    ATSB said six weeks before the incident, Capt Zaharie used his simulator to fly a route, initially similar to part of the route flown by MH370 up the Strait of Malacca, with a left-hand turn and track into the southern Indian Ocean.
    “There were enough similarities to the flight path of MH370 for the ATSB to carefully consider the possible implications for the underwater search area.”
    However the simulated flight had flown approximately 4,200 nautical miles.
    “This was further than what was possible with the fuel loaded on board the aircraft for flight MH370. Similarly, the simulated aircraft track was not consistent with the tracks modelled using the MH370 satellite communications metadata,” the report said.

    KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia said on Tuesday it has received proposals from three companies offering to continue the search for Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, which has been missing since 2014, but no decision has been made yet.

    MH370 vanished three years ago somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur with 239 people aboard. Its disappearance has become one of the world’s greatest aviation mysteries.

    Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai said proposals were received from U.S.-based seabed exploration firm Ocean Infinity, Dutch firm Fugro and an unidentified Malaysian company.

    “We wont be deciding anything now on whether we are embarking on a new search or not,” Liow told reporters on the sidelines of an event in Kuala Lumpur.
    “We have to discuss with the companies. It will take some time as it’s some detailed discussions,” he said.
    Liow was commenting on media reports from Australia that said Malaysia could resume the search as early as this week.
    Australia, Malaysia and China called off a A$200 million ($159.16 million), two-year search for the plane in January, amid protests from families of those onboard.
    Liow said the proposals would eventually be presented to the other countries in the tripartite committee - China and Australia - before a decision was taken.

    Representatives for Ocean Infinity have said the company would only want to be paid if the aircraft was found.
    The Boeing 777 aircraft disappeared on March 8, 2014, and is thought to have been diverted thousands of miles off course out over the southern Indian Ocean before crashing off the coast of Western Australia.

    ^Let China back it, they have all the money and new tech these days. Seems most of the passengers were Chins anyway.

    Why?

    They have one company that said they will work for free if they don't find it.

    Seems reasonable.

    Malaysia has struck a deal with US Company Ocean Infinity to resume the search for missing airliner MH370.


    The Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 disappeared on March 8, 2014. None of the 239 people aboard have been seen or heard from since. It is presumed that the plane's crew was incapacitated, leading the 777 to fly until it ran out of fuel in the southern Indian Ocean. Analysis of a handful of brief contacts with a satellite led to the determination of a search area, but it was covered completely without finding the plane.


    Some verifiable parts of the plane debris were found and analysis of where they washed ashore, local currents and even tests on how identical 777 parts float and drift led to suggestions a new area be searched.


    By the time that new conclusion had been reached, the search of the first-identified areas had been concluded. International maritime laws meant Australia had carriage of that search and was not obliged to consider the newly-suggested areas, so no new search was attempted.


    Now, however, Malaysia has struck a deal with Ocean Infinity to search for the plane on a no-find-no-fee basis. Australian transport minister Darren Chester said, in a canned statement, that “Ocean Infinity will focus on searching the seafloor in an area that has previously been identified by experts as the next most likely location to find MH370.”


    There's no word on how many vessels Ocean Infinity will use, or when they will reach the search area. The company will need to move quickly as spring and summer are the calmest times of year in the southern Indian Ocean. Even during those times things can be nasty: the search was postponed several times and China lost a robot probe due to nasty weather.


    Ocean Infinity bills itself a provider of “seabed intelligence”, a term that suggests even if it doesn't find the plane its search will yield data for which it can find another customer.

    Was the US company's offer triggered by the Chinese Co. offer?

    “seabed intelligence” may eventually lead to undersea mining / dredging of mineral wealth. There is a lot of that starting to happen these days.

    One of the most controversial[1][2] and complex theories was put forward by Robin Gardiner in his book, Titanic: The Ship That Never Sank?.[3] In it, Gardiner draws on several events and coincidences that occurred in the months, days, and hours leading up to the sinking of the Titanic, and concludes that the ship that sank was in fact Titanic's sister ship Olympic, disguised as Titanic, as an insurance scamby her owners, the International Mercantile Marine Group, controlled by American financier J.P. Morgan that had acquired the White Star Line in 1902.
    Olympic was the slightly older sister of Titanic, built alongside the more famous vessel but launched in October 1910. Her exterior profile was nearly identical to Titanic, save for minor details such as the number of portholes on the forward C decks of the ships, the spacing of the windows on the B decks, and the forward section of the A deck promenade on Titanic that had been enclosed only a few weeks before she set sail on her ill-fated maiden voyage. Both ships were built with linoleum floors, but shortly before she was due to set sail J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the White Star Line, inexplicably ordered the floors aboard Titanic carpeted over.
    On 20 September 1911, the Olympic was involved in a collision with the Royal Navy Warship HMS Hawke in the Brambles Channel in Southampton Water while under the command of a harbour pilot. The two ships were close enough to each other that Olympic's motion drew the Hawke into her aft starboard side, causing extensive damage to the liner – both above and below its waterline (HMS Hawke was fitted with a re-inforced 'ram' below the waterline, purposely designed to cause maximum damage to enemy ships). An Admiralty inquiry assigned blame to the Olympic, despite numerous eyewitness accounts to the contrary.
    Gardiner's theory plays out in this historical context. Olympic was found to be at blame in the collision (which, according to Gardiner, had damaged the central turbine's mountings and bent the keel, giving the ship a slight permanent list to port). Because of this finding, White Star's insurers Lloyd's of London allegedly refused to pay out on the claim. White Star's flagship would also be out of action during the extensive repairs, and the Titanic's completion date, which was already behind schedule due to Olympic's return to the yard after her loss of a propeller blade, would have to be delayed. All this would amount to a serious financial loss for the company. Gardiner proposes that, to make sure at least one vessel would be earning money, the badly damaged Olympic was patched up and then converted to become the Titanic. The real Titanic when complete would then quietly enter service as the Olympic.
    The Titanic indeed had a list to port leaving Southampton. Inadequate trimming of cargo and bunkers would likely result in such and the crew seems to have demonstrated a lack of proficiency on several occasions. A list to port was noted by several Titanic survivors including Lawrence Beesley who wrote in his book about the sinking: "I then called the attention of our table to the way the Titanic listed to port (I had noticed this before), and we watched the skyline through the portholes as we sat at the purser's table in the saloon." (The dining saloon windows were double rows of portholes covered on the inside with screens of leaded decorative glass with no clear view of the outdoors.) This was echoed by survivor Norman Chambers, who testified that after the collision: "However, there was then a slight list to starboard, with probably a few degrees in pitch; and as the ship had a list to port nearly all afternoon, I decided to remain up."https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RMS_Titanic_alternative_theories
