KUALA
LUMPUR, April 28 — A marine exploration company based in Australia
believes it may have found the wreckage site of Flight MH370 in the Bay
of Bengal, some 5,000km north of an ongoing multination hunt for the
missing Malaysia Airlines plane.“We identified chemical elements and materials that make up a Boeing 777... these are aluminium, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials,” Pavel Kursa, a spokeman from GeoResonance was quoted saying.
GeoResonance’s company scientists reportedly searched two million square kilometres of the possible crash area with the use of over 20 technologies, including a nuclear reactor, to analyse satellite data and aircraft images to trace the missing Boeing 77-200ER’S last known location.
“Our team was very excited when we found what we believe to be the wreckage of a commercial airliner,” another GeoResonance spokesman, David Pope, was quoted saying.
Pope said the company’s experts compared their findings with images taken on March 5, three days before Flight MH370 was reported missing — and they did not find what they had detected at that spot.
7News reported that it tried to contact the office of Angus Houston, a retired Australian air marshal who is coordinating the 26-nation search for the plane in the southern area of the Indian Ocean, but has yet to receive a response.
The Beijing-bound plane carrying 239 people on board disappeared from civilian aviation radars less than an hour after departing the Kuala Lumpur International Airport here.
It was spotted on military radar, which showed it making a turn back west, shortly after.
