“The new priority area is still focused on the seventh arc, where the aircraft last communicated with satellite. We are now shifting our attention to an area further south along the arc,” Australian Deputy Prime Minister Warren Truss told reporters in Canberra.
With the new evidence factoring, it’s said that the flight was thrown off by thousands of kilometers before it eventually fell off into the Indian Ocean.
“It is highly, highly likely that the aircraft was on autopilot otherwise it could not have followed the orderly path that has been identified through the satellite sightings,” Truss said.
The next stage in the search process will begin in August, will cover 60,000 sq km, and cost of about $60MiL. Gracious.
