A wreckage was found in northern Bay of Bengal by GeoResonance, a company that utilizes advanced technology in locating nuclear, biological and chemical weaponry under the ocean, and some claim that this could be the missing Malaysian Airlines flight 370.
According to the Australian company that specializes in geophysical surveys, a wreckage was found in the northern Bay of Bengal. It is believed to be the wreckage of a commercial airliner.
"We have successfully applied our technology to locate submersed structures, ships and aircraft," GeoResonance said on its website.
The Australian company then told CBS News Tuesday that with the help of its advanced technology, it has found materials belonging to the "wreckage of a commercial airliner."
However, it was not identified yet as something that belongs to the missing Malaysia Airlines jet Flight MH370.
Following the worldwide breaking of the news saying that the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370 has disappeared on March 8, the Australian land and sea survey company tried to help the search operations by using its technology to look for vast amounts of aluminum in the ocean. Experts say that Boeing 777 airplanes are made from about 70 percent of aluminum.
After successfully finding aluminum in the ocean, GeoResonance looked for other metals and minerals that might belong to an aircraft such as titanium, copper, nickel, steel, chromium, and iron.
Enough materials were found and determined to be belonging to a commercial airliner.
Authorities said that GeoResonance used anomalies of multispectral images of different areas of the ocean prior to and after the disappearance of the Malaysian Airlines Flight MH370. The images from March 5 through March 10 led them to a certain area in the Bay of Bengal since they found certain materials there on March 10 that weren't present in the area on March 5.
The wreckage was specifically located about 118 miles south of Bangladesh in the Bay of Bengal.
Before everyone's attention was turned towards the Southern Indian Ocean, Inmarsat, the British satellite company, had provided data to the Malaysian government saying that the final seven "pings" recorded from the plane to the satellite indicated that Flight MH370 had taken two possible routes - one heading to the South Indian Ocean and the other towards the Bay of Bengal.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said that "based on new analysis of the data, Inmarsat and the lead investigators," the missing Malaysian Airlines jet may have flown along the southern corridor and that its last position was said to be in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth.
"Inmarsat Vice President Chris McLaughlin said the decision to focus the search for the missing jet solely in the southern corridor was made by the Malaysian government and its search partners, not Inmarsat," CBS News reported.
On the other hand, Director of GeoResonance, David Pope said that the company's main purpose in publicizing its discovery is to hasten the process of locating the missing Malaysian Airlines Fight MH370, and not to gain public attention.
"He did not want to share the findings publicly at first, but it was possibly the only way to get heard. We're a large group of scientists, and we were being ignored, and we thought we had a moral obligation to get our findings to the authorities," Pope said to CNN on the main reason why they announced their company's findings. He even added that they received no response from the official searchers despite sending them several emails and attempting a number of phone calls.
Further investigations are to be carried out soon in the area to confirm whether the wreckage really belongs to the missing Malaysian Airlines jet.
