But today's search zone is arrived at from the slowest speed line (yellow plot, 400kts). What am I missing ?
This was published a week ago, and the current search location is well within the "reasonable" final probability position. Without previous ping data though we really aren't in a position to guess where on the 40° arc the aircraft actually went down. The authorities seem to be doing a very poor job disseminating information.
