Kuala Lumpur: One year on, geological survey firm GeoResonance still stands by the claim that the wreckage of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 is located in the Bay of Bengal.
Claiming to have done all the research on proving this, it also expressed regret that parties involved in the search never checked that location for the missing plane.
Having first made its claim late last March, the firm maintained that its team of physicists in Europe located “what appeared to be” the wreckage of a modern aircraft that was located approximately 190km south of the Bangladesh coastline, sitting 1,000 to 1,100m from the sea surface.
“GeoResonance’s remote sensing targeted characteristic substances used in the manufacture of a modern aircraft. The waters of the Bay of Bengal, the Andaman Sea, the Malacca Strait, the Gulf of Thailand, and the South China Sea were searched.
“To determine the age of registered anomalies, we studied airborne imagery taken on March 5 and March 10, 2014.
“GeoResonance came to the conclusion the source of anomalous signals had appeared in the Bay of Bengal between the 5th and 10th of March 2014,” it said in a statement today.
The firm added that a report on the findings and coordinates identified were then sent to the Joint Agency Coordination Centre (JACC), MAS, Malaysian High Commission in Canberra and Chinese embassy in Canberra.
They also regretted that JACC chief Marshall Angus Houstan, who was in charge of the MH370 search, never responded to calls by the firm to meet on its findings and the entire search was done in the wrong places from the start.
Analysing the various claims and reports done on the search in the past year, the firm pointed out several facts that led it to believe that the search was conducted inefficiently.
On Inmarsat’s data, the firm noted past reports as stating that Inmarsat communication link was designed to monitor the operation of Rolls-Royce engines, not to track the position of an aircraft.
“Inmarsat senior vice-president Chris McLaughlin admitted that the Inmarsat data was only a “shot in the dark”, they cited the Sydney Morning Herald.
