should under line. i m sure mr. young would have a comment on this. this is an attempt to search a very large area. for surface debris which would give us an indication of where the main aircraft wreckage is likely to be. this has a long way to go, yes. gentlemen there are indications that the plane changed course several times z this was what one of the reasons that foul play was suggested can you explain the current thinking? is that still the belief? the radar data i was talking about is related to that initial stages there was some changing of course of the aircraft. best assessment is that aircraft headed south into the indian ocean and what we now have been doing is working out the most-likely flight path based on information available tteam.
right. there you ve heard from john young of the australian maritime association. the general manager of that. then we heard from chief commissioner for australia transportation safety bureau. they both talking about what is going on now with the new lead being processed for the missing malaysian airline flight mh 370 went down march 8th. the missing plane search area shifting now because of a new credible lead. this all coming from satellite information. the new search areas closer to perth, australia they believe ask officials are stating new analysis is showing that the plane was going faster than previously estimated a lot of questions wondering as to why it was going faster. did pilots lose control? where did the plane land?
sorry. to narrow down the search area what lead to you think is are you looking at other events, other leads from malaysian investigation on radar? or satellite data? the question about search, i m sorry, mr. young should answer first. can i start by saying that two primary methods we ve had so far are these analysis. and which are about movements of the aircraft. that, in fact is the best information we can have. anything we can have about movements of the aircraft create the greatest degree of confidence we ve had satellite imagery. satellite imagery has been followed up it s not reduced any assignments
