Australian scientists are confident in determining the location MH370

Researchers in Australia have tirelessly attempted to locate Malaysia Airlines' missing MH370 aircraft and believe that it has been located.

Researchers in Australia have tirelessly attempted to locate Malaysia Airlines' missing MH370 aircraft and believe that it has been located.

The aircraft number MH370 carrying 12 crew members and 227 passengers was missing on March 8, 2014 while traveling from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) to Beijing (China).

Sputnik news agency (Russia) said many doubts MH370 fell into the Indian Ocean. However, the search process has cost US $ 180 million in the past so this work has been suspended until scientists can delineate more specifically.

In April 2017, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) of Australia said that through recent studies, it is likely that the area where MH370 was searched was inaccurate.

CSIRO David Griffin said at a national maritime conference in Darwin, Australia said: 'We think we know exactly where MH370 is.'

Mr. Griffin said the new study was based on the location and time of an accessory wing fragment of the MH370 that landed on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean as well as another fragment discovered in Tanzania.

Mr. Griffin analyzed: 'There is a strong current along the seventh arch at the 35th degree south so we think that MH370 has fallen and that the flow is moving in the northwest'.

This study takes into account the ocean flow from the time it was thought to fall to MH370, besides satellite imagery to calculate the depth of the sea at a centimeter level with a map of the sea floor.

However, even if the location is localized, scientists still have to consider an area as large as 25,000 square kilometers.
