Is this close to where people reported a loud boom? I can't remember exactly but know there was an area somewhere that many people said they heard the boom.
I would believe that more than the south search area. They have avoided the northern search area because they ASSUME they its IMPOSSIBLE for it to have gone north and be ignored by radar up there.
This whole South Indian ocean search has all been on assumption, with not one clue found yet.

This is fantastic! And it's in the Bay of Bengal, after all! The article said they sent the results of their search to authorities 2 weeks before the black box ping batteries expired, but no one followed up. I might add, this seems consistent with the sighting made by the woman on the flight from Arabia to Indonesia, reported to police but ignored.
I hope authorities respond now. It's time to finish this process and close this story, and give relatives of the deceased closure.

What they found is WAY up in the Bay of Bengal. I had to do some messing around to try to see where this was because the image they show on the clip has no labels. It says they IDed chemical elements, etc. that make up a Boeing 777, then they looked at images from 3 days before the crash and there was nothing there then. That's what I thought they should have done with the site where they're looking now. Find satellite images from the day of the crash or shortly after and look for a debris field.
It doesn't say anything about that, just that it followed a northern path. It doesn't say why. Maybe we'll see more about this, though, now that word is out. That was from a television station in Australia.
If this turns out to be IT, then there's going to be a lot of rolling of eyes by some and covering of tails by others. It's interesting news--and this seems to be the place to come to hear it. lol

Who knows if this discovery amounts to anything, but logic suggests that the mostly likely course of the plane was the course on which it was originally headed.
I understand that 'we have to start somewhere', and somehow the powers that be have convinced themselves that the plane did a 300 degree turn and headed southwest, eventually running out of fuel if you believe their scenario.
But to date, that hasn't produced anything of consequence.
Maybe it is time to go back to the most logical/simple course of where the plane "should' be and give it a look. I am not convince of either location one way or the other, but we do know that thus far they have come up with absolutely nothing down south other than a few "pings' which are from a device "similar" to that emitted by the black boxes.
It is all virgin ground. Take a look in the new location. Just to rule it out if nothing else.
What a cluster....if the Malaysians had done anything while the plane was FLYING OVER THEIR COUNTRY ON THE WRONG HEADING we would not be in this fubar.
I don't remember if authorities had mentioned if the captain had in his computer lz's in the northern bay. I know they mentioned DG and the Maldives before. My very first feeling was NK, then DG
