Whilst I admire Blaine Gibsons efforts at finding important and telling washed-up wreckage from MH370 to try and give some comfort to those seeking answers - I can cheerfully advise him, that he will continue to find vast amounts of personal items, wreckage and flotsam and jetsam around the shores of any country or island between Madagascar and Malaysia - that has no relevance whatsoever to MH370.

The simple reason for this is - the Indian Ocean in these regions is nothing but a huge rubbish dump for the SE Asian nations whose shorelines border this ocean, and whose marine-based population utilise the ocean for travel and fishing purposes.

Add in the number of Tsunamis in recent years in the region - and the amount of material dumped in the Indian Ocean by them - and he will begin to understand he has a vast amount of pure ocean rubbish to sort through, before he may perhaps, find one item that actually does come from MH370.

In other words, don't get too excited about what he finds, by way of personal effects washed up on the shores that he is trawling.
