It will shed some light on how the plane went down and what happened to it on that fateful day, and it will hopefully make it easier to prevent this kind of disaster in the future. There are certainly lots of things that we can do to minimize the risk of an airplane going down, and having access to the information about such a crash can be of huge help in the future.
That’s part of the reason why some people are so determined to find the aircraft and resolve this mystery for good, and hopefully their efforts are going to turn up something in the future, because a lot of eyes are still firmly focused on these search efforts at the moment.
The investigation into the crash of MH370 has also raised some questions about the standard procedure for locating missing aircraft, and it’s becoming clear at this point that we might need a more serious organization down the road if this kind of mess is to be avoided in the future.
Authorities from all sides are coordinating to get better results, but at the same time there have been some reports of conflicts between parties involved in the search, and reports that the efforts have been slowed down by the interference of certain authority figures. While this can be expected, it’s still sad to hear in the context of this particular search.
Actually, the more we search, the closer we get to finding MH370. The general area of impact is limited and well defined by the Inmarsat BTO and BFO data, but it takes time and specialized resources to search this area of the SIO.
