Australian scientist claims to know where MH370 falls

Scientists from an Australian university believe they know the location MH370 falls on the sea and believe that the aircraft compartment sinks intact.

Research by the University of Western Australia determines the collision point and movement of aircraft fragments based on meteorological data and ocean currents and analysis of Inmarsat company's "ping" signals.

Professor Charitha Pattiaratchi, head of the research team, said the debris was cornered into the whirlpools and would focus on one area."They can find them, that might be wing pieces , " Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying.

"The findings completely coincide. The debris is stuck in that area, the point may be about 400 km. Depending on the weather, we know where the debris will go until the end of this month," said the professor. added by the university's oceanographic institute.

He also said that not finding floating objects from inside the aircraft meant that the cabin could still remain intact as it sank into the sea. This will increase the possibility that the black box still exists without serious destruction.

"I think the way the plane falls, a lot of things will not be affected in the plane," Professor Pattiaratchi said. "If the plane shatters, we will see a lot of floating pieces. We may see smaller objects like life jackets, seats, things that will often float."

New satellite images of Thailand show that 300 objects float from 2-15m long, about 2,700km from Perth, Australia in the southern Indian Ocean, and before that, French and Chinese satellites once discovered many fragments.

However, the search of the ships and planes on the scene has not yet reached or recovered any Boeing 777 aircraft fragments. This caused some family members of 239 passengers and crew to cling to the hope that they were still alive.

The search of 11 aircraft yesterday was cut short by thunderstorms and strong winds, but seven ships continued to scour the area. Bad weather conditions may also hinder search activities in the future.
