INMARSAT Claim

BBC News - Malaysian MH370: Inmarsat confident on crash 'hotspot'

"The UK satellite company Inmarsat has told the BBC that the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines jet has yet to go to the area its scientists think is the plane's most likely crash site."

" the Ocean Shield ship never got to the Inmarsat hotspot because it picked up signals some distance away that it thought were coming from the jet's flight recorders."

"By modelling a flight with a constant speed and a constant heading consistent with the plane being flown by autopilot - the team found one flight path that lined up with all its data.

'We can identify a path that matches exactly with all those frequency measurements and with the timing measurements and lands on the final arc at a particular location, which then gives us a sort of a hotspot area on the final arc where we believe the most likely area is," said Mr Ashton."


The article doesn't provide coordinates of the alleged "hotspot".
