Malaysia Airlines MH370: Aviation expert wants Australia to prove plane is in Indian Ocean
A military aviation technology expert has written to the Australian government to debunk its theory that missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is lying in the southern Indian Ocean. (www.ibtimes.co.uk) Plus d'info...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Call it only a gut feeling, but I feel that he is barking up the wrong tree at Australia. I think anything needs directed at the Malaysian government, that hem hawed around in making things public, and by doing so, kept search assets in the wrong place for an extended period of time. I really don't think Australia could do much except act on information it was given. I could be wrong. I guess we'll see after the courts decide.
The Malaysian government is happy to have their problem transferred to Australia and is not going to do anything to change that outcome nor is Malaysian government capable of doing anything more to find the flight than perhaps under extreme pressure release potentially embarrassing information they may have withheld.
I am sure you are correct. I think that potentially embarrassing information is what they may be worried about, and as some have said, it may be just withholding information in general.
Other than the victims' friends & families there are other interets who would likely prefer the disappearance of MH 370 remain a mystery to escape more specific blame or allegations of withholding relevant information. Unfathomable that the radar coverage was so poor that the large aircraft could not be tracked even though other data suggests the aircraft flew for several more hours.
I dunno how many times I've written this - it's not in the water. GeoReasonance is very likely correct, but Immarsat has the government's ear.
I have to agree, the lack of any floating debris, not even one seat cushion, after a year pretty much debunks the Indian Ocean theory.
The military aviation expert should be putting forth his theory rather than asking Australia to debunk theirs. Then he might also commit his country assets to proving it. Australia has committed far and above it's proportion of effort regarding the country's population and citizens lost on the doomed flight. Go ahead, X spert, come up with a better scenario so that Australian taxpayer dollars can be more effectively spent helping someone else. ( X = unknown quantity, spert = drip under pressure)
