Ms Judith Zielke, chief coordinator of Joint Action Coordination Centre (JACC) told Channel NewsAsia that she is confident search crews are looking in the location where the stricken flight came down on Mar 8, 2014.
“I honestly believe we will find the plane. It‘s about how quickly we can actually achieve that,” she said.
Twelve months ago, when MH370 disappeared from radar shortly after take-off from Kuala Lumpur enroute to Beijing, it would have been difficult to envisage the scenario that remains to this day. A broad, unprecedented search is still being carried out in the distant waters of the Southern Indian Ocean, and the next of kin of the passengers and crew onboard the flight continue to wait for the answers many so desperately yearn for.
The search shifted into Australia’s arms within a week of the aircraft’s disappearance. Since then, millions of dollars have been spent on a so-far fruitless attempt to locate evidence of the flight’s demise. Four vessels continue the hunt and have completed scouring 26,000 square kilometres of the ocean floor, which reflects 40 percent of the current priority search area.
“To a certain extent we’ve determined where the plane isn’t, that’s one way of looking at it,” said Ms Zielke.
“The size is huge, over 1 million square kilometres. What we’re trying to do is find the most likely spot and then search that area first. I believe that if we maintain our focus, and if it is in that most probable spot, then we will find the aircraft soon.......................http://www.channelnewsasia.com7/3/15
