CSIRO debris-drift studies

Griffin, Oke, et al. · 2016–2017

Oceanographic reverse-drift of the Réunion flaperon and other debris, used to weight 7th-arc latitudes. Field trials on a replica flaperon informed windage.

The Debris Swarm

Jeff Wise · Finding MH370 S1E19 · 15 November 2024 · 39:26

After six months with only the Réunion flaperon, a cluster of western-Indian-Ocean pieces appears in 2016. CSIRO reverse-drift and barnacle work are the scientific spine; the swarm’s timing is the puzzle Wise keeps open.

New Evidence, New Answers? The Endless Search For Flight MH370

Independent overview of debris and Ocean Infinity

Survey of African-coast debris identifications and whether a marine-robotics return can close the case. No new wreckage coordinate.

PersonConfirmed

Blaine Gibson

Independent debris hunter

Recovered several western-Indian-Ocean pieces, including the Mozambique flap-track fairing. Finds sit in the Malaysian debris tables at various confirmation classes.

OrganisationConfirmed

CSIRO

Debris-drift modelling

Reverse-drifted the Réunion flaperon and later debris to weight 7th-arc latitudes.

EvidenceProbable21 Mar 2016 00:00 UTC

Engine-cowl fragment — Mossel Bay

South Africa · March 2016 · “Roy” piece

Rolls-Royce engine-cowling part recovered near Mossel Bay. In the debris tables at a high-likelihood class. Drift timing is one of the awkward pieces in CSIRO’s work.

TimelineProbable27 Dec 2015 00:00 UTC

Flap-track fairing found in Mozambique

27 December 2015 / identified 2016

A right-wing no. 7 flap support fairing is recovered at Daghatane Beach, Mozambique. Stencilling matches Malaysia Airlines practice; ATSB judges it almost certainly MH370.

TimelineConfirmed3 Sep 2015 00:00 UTC

Flaperon confirmed as 9M-MRO

3 September 2015

French authorities confirm the Réunion flaperon belongs to MH370. The disappearance is no longer a missing-aircraft case without wreckage.

LocationConfirmed

Îlot Bernache, Mauritius

Confirmed left outboard aft flap · 10 May 2016

Second serial-confirmed major flight-control surface.

LocationProbable

Mossel Bay, South Africa

Engine-cowl fragment with Rolls-Royce marking

Almost-certain / highly likely 777 cowling in the western gyre.

HypothesisInconsistent

Northern corridor

Inconsistent with BFO sign and with African debris

Early public maps showed a northern Inmarsat ring. BFO and later debris on western Indian Ocean coasts disfavour it.

EvidenceConfirmed20 Jun 2016 00:00 UTC

Right outboard flap — Pemba Island

Item 20 · ~4.57 × 1.83 m · confirmed

Large right outboard flap found in Tanzania and confirmed as 9M-MRO. Third serial-confirmed trailing-edge surface.

Wise’s case against treating Gibson’s beach finds as ordinary luck: “No Step” in 20 minutes on a Mozambique sandbar; a Madagascar piece appearing between two passes of a TV crew; village objects later identified as 777 interior.

EvidenceConfirmed29 Jul 2015 00:00 UTC

Right flaperon — Réunion

Found 29 July 2015 · confirmed 3 September 2015 as 9M-MRO

First physical evidence. Internal part numbers traced through EADS CASA to 9M-MRO. A 777 flaperon does not drift from Kazakhstan or the South China Sea to Réunion.

PersonConfirmed

Florence de Changy

Journalist · The Disappearing Act

French correspondent. Netflix episode 3: US/AWACS intercept in the South China Sea over cargo. Location conflicts with African debris if those identifications stand.

ClaimDisputed

Florence de Changy: US / AWACS intercept over the South China Sea

Netflix episode 3. Sensitive cargo, jamming in the FIR gap, an ignored land-now order, a shoot-down before Chinese airspace. Location is inconsistent with western-Indian-Ocean debris.

ClaimDisputed

Jeff Wise: northern hijack to Kazakhstan, BFO spoofed

2015 New York Magazine thesis, restated in Netflix episode 2 and in Finding MH370 “Landing MH370.” Keep BTO, discard or spoof BFO, fly borders, land on a long Central Asian runway. Requires the African debris field to be explained away.

ClaimConfirmed

The aircraft ended in the southern Indian Ocean

Supported by SATCOM southern BFO, 7th-arc geometry, and serial-confirmed debris on western Indian Ocean coasts. Main wreckage still unfound.

TimelineConfirmed1 Oct 2014 00:00 UTC

Bathymetry and underwater search begin

October 2014

Fugro vessels and partners begin wide-area bathymetric mapping and towed-sonar search of a defined 7th-arc corridor.

Open questionOpen

Could the Inmarsat BFO have been spoofed?

Wise’s northern path stands or falls on this. Inmarsat and ATSB treat BFO as a physical Doppler residual. No public demonstration has shown a 2014-era 777 SDU emitting a false BFO while keeping a consistent BTO.

Flight MH370 — 17 Fascinating Facts

J. Jericho / The Free School · March 2019 · Drive backup PDF

Independent compilation of official-file facts with annexes (simulator pages, passenger list, cargo docs, Boeing patent, ACARS log). Not an official report. Several numbered “facts” still need MOT/ATSB cross-check.

HypothesisOfficial finding

Fuel exhaustion, then uncontrolled descent at the 7th arc

Prevailing official end-of-flight model

After a long southern cruise the aircraft flames out near 00:19 UTC, the SDU logs on from APU/emergency power, and the aeroplane leaves controlled flight. Wreckage should lie on or near the 7th arc.

HypothesisOpen

Interstate politics — China, Russia, Iran

Manifest geography is not a state-act finding

Destination Beijing, Chinese majority, Iranian stolen-passport travellers, one Russian national. Facts of who was on board. Not a finding of PLA, FSB, or IRGC action.
