BANGALORE: Just after ‘100 Days’ completion of missing MH370, the UK based satellite company Inmarsat revealed that the search for this flight has not focused on the most likely crash site, reports Global Post.
“It has been 100 days since MH370 went missing. More than 14 weeks have passed since the Malaysian Government first coordinated the search operations for the missing plane. This search effort is unprecedented in sheer scale and complexity involving 26 countries at its peak,” Acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said.
Inmarsat said that the search for the missing flight MH370 has yet to zero in on the area which its scientists think is the plane's most likely crash site, a media report said.
Inmarsat's communications with the aircraft are seen as the best clues to the whereabouts of MH370, BBC reported. It was the brief, hourly electronic connections between the missing jet and one of Inmarsat's spacecraft that are currently driving the search. Its scientists could tell from the timings and frequencies of the connection signals that the plane had crashed somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean.
Chris Ashton at Inmarsat said "It was by no means an unrealistic location (where they were searching), but it was further to the northeast than our area of highest probability," reports Global Post.
"We can identify a path that matches exactly with all those frequency measurements and with the timing measurements and lands on the final arc at a particular location, which then gives us a sort of a hotspot area on the final arc where we believe the most likely area is," Ashton added.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 vanished mysteriously about an hour after taking off for Beijing from Kuala Lumpur shortly after midnight March 8. The Boeing 777-200ER was scheduled to land in Beijing the same morning. The 227 passengers on board included five Indians, 154 Chinese and 38 Malaysians.
The search for the missing jet which was disappeared with 239 passengers and crew onboard, has since been suspended while ships map the Indian Ocean floor.
