MH370: Is Inmarsat right?

So why is Dickinson so sure he is right? Because the model they created showing arcs and Doppler readings was rigorously tested, initially on other aircraft on the satellite at the same time, and then against previous flights by the same aircraft. With minor disagreements both the position and the Doppler reading of those aircraft was predicted accurately.

Other organizations created their own models, ran the comparisons and came to the same conclusions. It is essential to understand: This is not just Inmarsat's frolic.

"No-one has come up yet with a reason why it shouldn't work with this particular flight when it has worked with others," Dickinson told me.

11 June 2014 Australia chooses firm to map sea floor in MH370 search

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau chose a subsidiary of Dutch multinational Fugro to perform the detailed underwater mapping necessary before that phase can begin.

Australia yesterday signed a contract with a private company to map the sea floor around where missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is believed to have crashed, a crucial step towards continuing an underwater search later this year.

Mapping firm joins search for MH370

Fugro Survey, a deep-water survey company, is the first private contractor to be hired as the search enters its next phase and begins hunting underwater across an expanded zone covering 62,160sq km.

"The bathymetric survey will provide a map of the underwater search zone, charting the contours, depths and composition of the sea floor in water depths up to 6000m," the Joint Agency Coordination Centre said.

A DAP lawmaker’s attempt to discover more on the military radar which detected flight MH370 came to a halt when Parliament rejected his query on grounds that it is “secret”. - See more at: http://www.themalaysianinsider.com/...h-spotted-mh370#sthash.A4LdtQfF.Txgu9P9u.dpuf

Bukit Mertajam MP Steven Sim Chee Keong asked the Defence Minister to state the base which had detected the plane and the name of the company that supplied and maintained the radar.

Sim (pic) also asked if there were any follow-up actions on the lack of emergency response in the early hours when the aircraft went missing.



Parliament secretary Datuk Roosme Hamzah, however, rejected the questions, saying questions cannot be centred on matters of "secrecy".
"This is an international worldwide crisis. It is no longer a secret. Our failures must be admitted and then amended," Sim told a press conference at the Parliament lobby later.

"Malaysia Airlines' insurer has begun paying the families of passengers who were aboard Flight MH370 $US50,000 ($A54,100) each in initial compensation three months after the jet disappeared, a government official says.

Full payment to the families -- who can claim up to more than three times the amount of the initial payout -- would be made later, Hamzah said.

The government was not yet prepared to declare the plane lost, he added."

Two Waikato men are set to publish a book about the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370.

Using a process of elimination, authors Ewan Wilson, a commercial pilot and Hamilton City Councillor, and Waikato Times journalist Geoff Taylor, lead readers toward the revelation that the tragedy was no accident.

"What happened to MH370 was no accident. It was deliberate and it was calculated and it should never have been allowed to happen."
