Final aircraft has left the #MH370 search area. Nothing further identified after initial sighting of three objects.

So where is the debris? It will make sense at this stage to make an educated guess regarding the aircraft's crash position using Inmarsat data and send in a few ROVs to the ocean floor. This preoccupation with locating debris as marker for crash location in the roaring 40s is looking less and less fruitful.

Search and Rescue
I've done it for 10+ hours in the North Sea North of Scotland looking for a missing yacht. Nothing seen
I've done it looking for downed flight crew in different parts of the world flying from a carrier. Nothing seen.
I've been in the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea in post cyclonic seas and even on an aircraft carrier it was less than pleasant
SAR is a monotonous, puke making and potentially thankless task. Add the weather in the southern Indian Ocean, the shortening days as winter approaches and you have a monumentally difficult task.
Don't expect instant results
