More SMH, with dribble.
"[to] ensure that the entire 120,000 square kilometre area" – well it ain't that big, is it? not any longer, why not say how much of the original has been covered, they own 75% has been 'done'; so why spin it to seem a bigger task than it is? Mi mi thinks I smell pony-pooh.
"[is] searched as effectively as possible." Why not just plain old ordinary – effectively. The "as possible" implies that the search may not be as effective as it should be. So why bother at all – if you can't do it properly, QED. Mi mi thinks I smell weasel -pooh
"Safety of the search crews also remains a priority". One of the pitiful, puerile excuses offered for the failure to recover the Pel-Air 'black boxes' from 49 meters of sheltered water, five clicks from the nearest pub was "safety" of the crews. Mi mi thinks I can smell the glue factory down the road as the back door slides open.
The BRB predicted ATSB exit strategy, written some months ago is spot on; so far. Started from when the Muppet poked it's ugly head up above the fox hole for a look-see to the imminent press conference. (Chuckle), we may not be able to tell you where the aircraft was lost and where it ended up, but we can, with some accuracy, predict the behaviour of the ATSB boss, down to words expected to be used.
I still cannot work out why the Malaysian government is not making ALL the announcements – or decisions for that matter; and, Beaker is no SAR guru, that's for certain sure. I would have thought a statement to the effect that "with the agreement of China and Malaysia"; or, "in consultation with other expert SAR authorities"; or, "after consultation with Furgo" : even after a chat with his Mum, would make a graceful exit simpler, cleaner and much more believable. But then again, we are dealing with the ATSB, not AMSA; more the pity.
Anyway – Toot toot.
