So, that’s it then.

“The information in the ATSB report, however, does not give a specific location of the missing aircraft.

“As agreed at the Tripartite Ministers meeting in Malaysia in July we will be suspending the search unless credible evidence is available that identifies the specific location of the aircraft.

Done and dusted. No search unless ‘a specific’ location is provided. I’m intrigued to know exactly how a ‘specific’ location can be provided when there is no search activity, or continuing research; and, what precisely defines a ‘specific’ location. ‘X’ marks the spot within what size area, the debris field could cover many square kilometres.

I don’t put much store in this ‘no money’ gambit; funds could be found.  There is a growing, persuasive argument that taken North, there is a good chance that a search may find something of value.  I don’t claim expertise in analysing the data, indeed some of the theory and calculation is well beyond my comprehension, but the latest data seems to indicate, very clearly, that the first search area is barren.

There is enough brain power and revised data available to ‘re-think’ the search area. I guess I just fail to see why a second round is being ruled out.  A half year, in the ‘good‘ season, looking in the revised area seems to be ‘do-able’. I for one, would like to know why that’s not being discussed at the tripartite meetings? Seems to be the very least ‘they’ could do; unless there is something to hide.
