Catalog of Found Debris

One of the items is an interior cabin panel from the R1 door area - indicative of fuselage breakup. One would think that there would have been a debris field similar to AF447, but the searches may...

Everyday Flotsam or MH370 Debris

AMSA has rightly pointed out that any retrieved object has to be positively identified as coming from MH370.

This piece of ocean receives very little close scrutiny. There seem to be a number of...

If it hadn't been for Inmarsat, we'd still be looking from Somalia to Siberia.

And a very well done to the partnership with AAIB for resolving the ambiguity between arcs. There was some seriously...

We see a whole bunch of delay in hearing from the various militaries.
