So these
two new ATSB reports are very interesting. They appear to be very thorough, rigorous, considered and authoritative. They're written by people with access to most of the available data. And they've produced, using Bayesian methods, a heat map of where MH370 is most likely to be.
What we've not been given is a map showing how this hot spot compares with the area already searched. Is anyone able to overlap the hot spot with a map of the searched area?
Given the hot spot fills most of the 'indicative search area' and most of this area has already been searched, are these reports - despite their thoroughness going to help?
