They were drifting north when they were found. Maybe they had been since impact.
Maybe that is true, I don't know and I doubt if anyone else is in the position to positively identify where they drifted from.
The area in the immediate vicinity of the Pollution Spot is, as I have said before, a good place to start. However, with more precise interpretation of sea levels, winds and shear effects, I would not be surprised if a model has not come up with something that supports a viable starting point. We shall wait and see.
Given the heterogeneous nature of the terrain, perhaps the best chance is to focus on the relatively flat areas and hope we are lucky.
My best estimate is that the wreckage will be confined to an area within a radius of 400m. Even if some is down a steep ravine and gets missed in the sidescan survey, something else will be found. It only takes the finding of one piece of debris on the bottom, and the rest will follow.
