Well that settles that part of it (no pun intended), unless you're into conspiracies or believe that a B77E managed to plunk a piece of it into the very same ocean as where MH370 ended of all places the type flies. I would wait for confirmation from another source before any final conclusion. After all, the Malaysian government made some rushed statements previously ! |

If you look at the computer generated animation of the ocean currents it's an anti clockwise ish swirl, so no / very little debris for Australia, most of it would got the other way(left), the model shows That MH370 debris was predicted to go towards Reunion island and the Madagascar coast. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-33799205At around the 5 second mark in that animation, you can see that a fair amount of debris does make it to the waters just off the western coast of Australia and stay there. Surely, there must be some that washed ashore. |

Surely, there must be some that washed ashore. Yea, but it's not a lot. Coupled with the fact that the western australian coast is not that populated and coupled with the fact that very few pieces of debris are identifiable right away and unmistakably as airplane debris, I think you have your answer right there. An airplane seat is not that different from a bus seat, a piece of luggage could have come from anywhere, pieces of plastic mostly look all the same to me and pieces of bent metal are probably not that rare either. It would have to be a bigger, intact piece or made of a material that people readily associate with airplanes, like carbon fibre or kevlar.. and even then, someone would need to find it first. |

Don't forget, not all the debris would be on the surface when out at sea, a lot of it would in suspension under the surface, only visible it it got washed up on a beach. |

I too believe this is a possibility worth considering. If we assume the aircraft's cause for diversion was due to technical problems resulting in incapacitated crew, I think the aircraft would have flown an inefficient flight profile that covers less distance on a given fuel amount than if it was managed by a conscious crew and so the flight would have ended up a little North of the current search area on the 7th arc. In other news, if anyone was still waiting for 100% confirmation by the French investigators that the flaperon did belong to MH370, here it is: - news.yahoo.com/france-says-wing-part-found-reunion-island-definitely-153933177--finance.htmlUnfortunately, this still might lead to a new conspiracies, especially since it involved Airbus technicians.  |

A possible development in search for MH370.
