this is the port where the survivors were brought to. they are being looked after. about 100 people were rescued, but worryingly, they say that as many as 750 people were on the fishing boat when it sank. that raises the possibility of maybe 650 people having been killed in this disaster. and, extremely worryingly, we hearing that may be 100 children with mothers were inside the boats, in the whole of the boat when went down. in the hull of the boat. satellite contact was made with people on board. they were told that they did not want to be rescued, that they were heading to italy. that account has been challenged, in particular by one group who run an emergency phone line for migrants who are stuck at sea or in difficulty. the allegation is that the greek authorities knew for many hours that this vessel was in peril,
is taken so seriously is where the debris was spotted, in an area off the southwest coast of australia that has become the primary focus for investigators who once confronted a search radius that covered 1/10 of the globe. the final satellite contact from the plane on the day it disappeared indicated it could have gone as far as this line. the amount of fuel onboard meant it wouldn t have been able to fly much further. this new potential debris lies between those two lines. in just the right spot to be as the investigators say, credible. four aircraft from the u.s., australia, and new zealand including an american p8 submarine hunter have scoured the area where the debris was found once but spotted nothing. their search hampered by bad weather in the region and slowed by the long flight from land which leaves them only three hours of actual search time. the first aircraft took off for another attempt at daybreak in australia, that s a little more
how did we go from the large search area and connect it to this small area to what we ve been looking at? a little speculation. we took the information we had. we had the last known satellite contact with the plane, this huge ring. and then what we knew is the last radar image that we saw the plane was this last wave at 2:15 in the morning. we took the amount of flying time they would have left in that point of time, six hours. assuming you have the plane at the same altitude until it ran out of gas for every hour, it would match that last intersection of that last sat lite contact. that s where you get that last point. that s where they are now currently seeing debris. so that s what we need to look at. everyone keeps talking about the gyres. what are gyres? we have five huge tiscirculatio on earth. let s take a closer look at one of the gyres. we see very strong westerly winds out there. and a lot of people keep talking about the speculation and this may be a place you typically see
new developments into the investigation of the missing malaysian airliner, malaysian authorities have asked for help trying to retrieve data deleted from the captain s home flight simulator. the fbi has been given copies of the hard drive from the computers of the captain and first officer. the search for the missing flight continues 12 days after it mysteriously disappeared with 239 people on board about the focus of the search has narrowed, earlier data showing where the flight may have been when it last made satellite contact fueled speculation the missing jet could have ended up in dozens of countries or a wide swath of the ocean. the primary focus of the investigation is now on about 100,000 square mile area in the indian ocean. 1500 miles southwest of perth, australia. below two possible flight paths.
