Missing flight 370H starts washing ashore

[MJJersey]

Authorities are investigating what appears to be the wreckage of Malaysian Airlines flight 370 that vanished over one year ago. The debris is washing up on reunion island in Madagascar.

I think the plane was headed to the middle east. If you look at the ocean current map in the article it would have taken much shorter time to go from the search area to the Island. It more likely crashed north near the middle east, was pulled south, then east, then back west again coming to rest on the island.

Reunion is a French overseas department. It's also quite small. A piece of wing flap could probably make several circuits in the Indian Ocean before someone, by luck, spotted it offshore. I still think this points to a crash far off the west coast of Australia, where the current would have taken it north, then west toward Mauritius and Reunion.

Different people here. On the air forum you get a lot of pilots and more technical discussion. Why not let it fly here? (no pun intended)

If there are certain currents they can use to track where the routes of this debris could be then they could narrow other search efforts.

In any case, they won't be thinking of calling of the search now or curtailing it. If anything, now you'll see more effort.
