The Maldives theory has re-emerged in the past few days. Very shortly after the disappearance there were some reports that some Maldives island had supposedly seen a large but low-flying plane, alleged to have red side markings. Supposedly a bottle matching a Boeing fire suppressant bottle was found in the area.

The conspiracy theorists are having a field day on it....mention of Diego Garcia, plots to kill vacationing British royalty, etc.

Isn't it interesting, that so far all the small supposed pieces found of the missing MH370, have ALL been downwind and down currents from the island of Diego Garcia, where the American military base is! :wink:

I do remember discussing, that maybe the Americans shot down the MH370 because it was heading towards the island without and radio contact and no plane identification frequency from MH370.

Surely, if the plane went down in the South Pacific where the pointless search took place west of Australia, some of these supposed pieces of the MH370 would have washed up in the Northeastern part of the Pacific by now and not in the Southwestern part of the Pacific. :roll:

Well, if we go by the theory that the plane crashed west of Australia, then ocean currents should have carried debris to the East of the islands near Madagascar (Reunion 64km long, Mauritus 54Km long, Rodriques 18Km long) and to Madagascar itself which btw is huge (some 1500Km long).
Look what the fortune tellers were telling us in the past

The last location anyone would expect to find debris would be in Mozambique which is basically on the west side of Madagascar. And wow,that's what it actually happened!!

First let's check the exact location where debris was found.
At Reunion it was At Saint Andres at the North North East side of the island.

Nothing on Madagascar which poses a 1500Km long frontier towards the currents that were presumably carrying debris from Australia!
And the exact position at Mozambique shown here:

Here's another presentation of the ocean currents from the fortune tellers of the past
http://www.safetyflights.com/blog/2015/ ... rom-MH370/
I wouldn't take those very seriously myself because they are just based on the assumption the plane crashed west of Australia. better have the patience to watch Nasa's ocean currents videos here

and then draw your own concussions.

Imo there is more chance the plane went down North East of Madagascar as e.g at Maldives or Diego Garcia, than there is to have crashed West of Australia.

There are now press reports that Debris is coming ashore on Madagascar with one report suggesting this is consistent with predictions of a period of 18 to 24 months for Debris to get that far : see http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3179609/MH370-map-prepared-University-Western-Australia-oceanographers-one-year-ago-predicted-debris-missing-Malaysia-Airlines-plane-arrive-La-Reunion-Madagascar.html

Yes a lot of Debri connected to MH370 has been found on the African coast which is apparently very consistent with oceanic drifts. About 40 pieces have been found and the most significant of which was a Flap.

Damage to the flap had been analyzed and it suggests that the damage is consistent of it being in the retracted position. Other small fragments found also suggest a violent impact with the ocean, not a controlled ditching. The idea is that everyone on board could have been already dead due to a non pressurized cabin. A bit like Helios. There were however 5 earlier heading changes before its final heading of 180 which suggests significant human input.

Air Transport Safety Board in collaboration with its partners have now recommenced the search. They have new technology which allows them to cover 100,000 sq km in 90 days. Before they took 2 years to cover 129,000 sq km. They believe the impact area was slightly north of where they were looking. It’s where they started to look immediately after the crash before deciding to go further south because of the controlled glide and controlled ditching hypothesis. Now the believe they were correct first time round and MH370 ditched further North after it had stalked into a spiral dive.

They also appear to be very confident and the search is costing some pretty serious money and of course the seas are at times quite dangerous down there as well.

So that is just the update.

Don’t be surprised if there is an out of the blue announcement that MH370 has been found. It’s very much on the cards because the authorities have been assessing everything in detail, including oceanic drift and they even back plotted from Africa. University of WA are involved, as well as NASA, Inmarsat, Boeing, NTSB, FAA, JAA and CASA.

The way they are talking it’s like they seem to think that it is only a matter of time.

Apparently a ‘no-find/no-fee’ deal! They must be very confident ..... I wonder what they know that nobody else does? :roll:

Malaysia to pay U.S. firm up to $70 million if it finds missing MH370 - Reuters Staff

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysia signed a deal on Wednesday to pay a U.S. seabed exploration firm up to $70 million if it finds the missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft MH370 within 90 days of embarking on a new search in the Southern Indian ocean.
