| Wreckage of MH370 washing up on Reunion Island? |
| << < (5/33) > >> |
| Halcyon:
They confirmed today that it was part of MH370. |

AF447 was easily found. Perhaps sheer luck but it probably helped that tracking radar was available until the crash and it crashed (~relatively) close to the coast of Brazil. Plus, the impact was relatively gentle, all considered. MH370 hasn't been found yet and is suspected to have crashed in a large area due to the lack of data available. I suspect more debris may appear as it was predicted that ocean currents would take approximately 1 year to 18 months to reach the coast of Africa going on the estimation of crashing somewhere in the Indian Ocean. |

Seems to be roughly on track with the estimated crash location. Of course everything waaay to preliminary. http://5newsonline.com/2015/07/29/garretts-blog-gyres-mh370-debris/ --- End quote --- Wow, that's almost bang-on: --- End quote --- Would there be a dirty big eddy in the middle of that zone, may be there's a whole heap more wreckage floating around in the centre? |

If the whole thing was scattered to kingdom come then they have buckleys chance. |
