We now have good reason to believe the pingers failed, and the Metron analysis consequently places the wreckage in the area of the Abyssal Plain.
The statistical analysis undertaken by Metron, methodically worked through the permutations, and now after the fact appears to to be valid. Irrespective, the BEA have chosen to fudge the outcome, as they do not want the site to become a tourist mecca; which is understandable. The debris field is in the Abyssal Plain somewhere in the north quadrant relative to the LKP. I don't believe the specific position is relevant at this time, as none of us has a need to plug it into a GPS.
