Why has compelling new evidence not revived MH370 search?

17 Jul 2017 / 15:00 H.

AT 00:41 on March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 took off from runway 32R at Kuala Lumpur International Airport, bound for Beijing with 227 passengers and 12 crew.
At 01:19 someone in the cockpit bade farewell to Malaysian air traffic control with the words: "Good night, Malaysian three seven zero."
Those were the last words ever heard from flight MH370.
The last radar contact was at 02:22, the final automatic "partial handshake" with a satellite above the Indian Ocean was at 08:19.
And then MH370, with 239 people on board, seemingly vanished into thin air.
As the conspiracy theories swirled – ranging from a secret landing on the US airbase of Diego Garcia, to the world's first remote-controlled "cyberhijack" – the search for MH370, costing US$160m, became the most expensive in aviation history.
Last Sunday a loose affiliation of interested scientists calling themselves the Independent Group revealed drift analysis of their own, conducted by Richard Godfrey, suggesting that the wreck of MH370 might lie around latitude 30°S, much further north than even the new 35°S area.
"The pre-conceived idea, that 'other evidence' constrains the MH370 End Point to between 32°S and 36°S is a false assumption," insisted Godfrey, a Frankfurt-based aerospace engineer.
He wondered, for example, about the CSIRO factoring into its calculations the absence of MH370 debris in Australia.
Wasn't it possible, he suggested, that something could have washed up unnoticed somewhere along the 20,781 km of the relatively sparsely populated coast of western Australia, where 86% of the population lives within the cities of Perth, Bunbury, Busselton and Mandurah?
