At today met six months after the disappearance of flight MH370 Malaysia Airlines, still no trace of the apparatus be carrying 239 people and could crash somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean.
Australia, as closer to the supposed crash site country, and Malaysia will begin this month a new phase of the underwater search unit in an area of about 60,000 square kilometers and located about 1,800 kilometers west of the Australian city of Perth.
"Our challenge now is to limit a priority area within this wider to start the search in order to find the plane area as soon as possible," said Judith Zielke, the interim director of the Center for Coordination of Joint Agencies (JACC), the unit coordinating the search, to the Australian ABC chain.
The place where to search is just south of where you looked in June and July.
She explained that new analysis of communications aircraft, one at a ground station and a satellite call unanswered Malaysia Airlines Boeing allow 777-200ER think that "turned south ahead of schedule and traveled further south than initially thought. "
Despite the strong commitment of Australia and Malaysia to solve one of the biggest mysteries of civil aviation, aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas said it is possible that some items "never recovered or found."
The analyst considered likely that large parts are located, as the body of the device, but in his view smaller as black boxes, have been able to finish in inaccessible parts of the ocean floor.
The new tracking phase will be borne by the Dutch company Fugro, specializing in such operations, and will last at least twelve months.
According to Thomas, the land must examine with sonar equipment with cables dragged about 10,000 feet long "is a treacherous area" comparable to the Swiss Alps, it presents underwater surfaces of sediment and silt accumulated over millions of years.
The director of the Australian Bureau of Transportation Safety, Martin Dolan, said the last weekend that the operation is "complex" because they have no signs of the black boxes, whose batteries were exhausted long ago, and physical clues, therefore be assessed thousand possible paths.
Experts still do not know for sure what caused the tragedy, but it is believed that the plane changed course "in a deliberate action" about forty minutes after taking off from Kuala Lumpur heading to Beijing on 8 March.
Aboard the MH370 carrying 153 Chinese, 50 Malays (12 were crew), seven Indonesians, six Australian, five Indians, four French, three Americans, two New Zealanders, two Ukrainians, two Canadians, one Russian, one Dutch, one Taiwanese and two Iranian who embarked with stolen in Thailand to an Italian and an Austrian passport.
Research suggests that the plane flew everyone to unconscious aboard the lack of oxygen to run out of fuel and rush against the sea, although at first the possibility of terrorist attack was weighed and later was suspected of kidnapping with the complicity of the pilot of the plane.
Six months after the tragedy, relatives of the victims are still searching for answers, and some retain the hope of finding alive to their loved one.
Malaysia Airlines, dragging financial problems accumulated losses with this accident and received a mortal blow in July when he lost another plane with 298 people in eastern Ukraine downed by a missile pro-Russian forces.
The Malaysian government announced in late August an economic plan to rescue the country's flag carrier.
