Another day, another MH370 mystery
An Australian exploration company has indicated it may have found the wreckage of the crashed Malaysia Airlines flight, MH370.
Quoted by The Star in Malaysia, Adelaide-based GeoResonance said the possible wreckage was found in the Bay of Bengal, 5,000km from the current search location in the southern Indian Ocean off Perth.
GeoResonance’s search, which started on March 10, used images obtained from satellites and aircraft, with company scientists focusing their efforts north of MH370’s last known location.
More than 20 technologies were used to analyse the data, including a nuclear reactor.
According to company spokesperson David Pope: "The technology that we use was originally designed to find nuclear warheads and submarines. Our team in Ukraine decided we should try and help."
Pope said GeoResonance compared their findings with images taken on March 5, three days before MH370 went missing on March 8.
"The wreckage wasn’t there prior to the disappearance of MH370. We’re not trying to say it definitely is MH370. However, it is a lead we feel should be followed up," said Pope.
Another GeoResonance spokesperson, Pavel Kursa told that several elements found in commercial airliners were detected at the Bay of Bengal spot identified by GeoResonance.
"We identified chemical elements and materials that make up a Boeing 777… these are aluminum, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials," said Kursa in a statement reported by Australian news channel 7News.
In another twist, New York pilot Michael Hoebel, 60, believes he found an image of what appears to be the wreck of the missing passenger jet in the Gulf of Thailand, which is where the Boeing 777 made its last communication with air traffic authorities on the morning of March 8.
"I was taken aback because I couldn’t believe I would find this," Hoebel told a local TV news channel after spotting debris he believes perfectly matches the dimensions of the missing plane.
He said he spent hours trawling through thousands of images on TomNod, a crowd-sourcing website that has been sharing online satellite imagery in the hope of finding clues.
