MH370 Investigators admit they may be Searching Wrong Part of Indian Ocean

The search for missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 experienced another setback after investigators agreed that they may not be searching the right part of the Indian Ocean.

Earlier, investigators said that they would soon find the debris, according to the Daily Star.

Australian Transportation Bureau experts said they think that the plane may have crashed into the Indian Ocean because of lack of fuel. The latest analysis on the missing flight shows that the search should be done in the southern part of the Indian Ocean for the next part of investigation.

Since the early hours of March 8, when it left Kuala Lumpur for Beijing, flight MH370 has been missing with 239 passengers and crew on board.

An interim report concluded on Wednesday that Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 went into a slow left turn and fell into the Indian Ocean when its fuel ran out.

"Flight simulations recreating the final moments of the aircraft, which disappeared on March 8 en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur, suggest that a descending spiraling low bank angle left turn and hit the ocean a relatively short distance after the last engine flameout", said the Australian Transportation Safety Bureau (ATSB).

From the analysis, it was confirmed that jet crashed in relatively close proximity to the arc where investigators on Monday started a complex and exhaustive underwater search.

The Malaysia-contracted GO Phoenix vessel started hunting for traces of wreckage or jet fuel on Monday about 1,100 miles off the Western Australia coast, which is where experts believed the plane crashed.

Later in the month, two ships sent by Dutch contractor Fugro will join the GO Phoenix as part of an operation that could last more than a year.
