Top searchers at the Dutch company leading the underwater hunt for Malaysia Airlines jet MH370 say they believe the plane may have glided down rather than dived in the final moments, meaning they have been scouring the wrong patch of ocean for two years.
Flight MH370 disappeared in March 2014 with 239 passengers and crew onboard en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. Searchers led by engineering group Fugro (FUGRc.AS) have been combing an area roughly the size of Greece for two years.
That search, over 120,000 square kilometers of the southern Indian Ocean off Western Australia, is expected to end in three months and could be called off after that following a meeting of key countries Malaysia, China and Australia on Friday.

Doubts that the search teams are looking in the right place will likely fuel calls for all data to be made publicly available so that academics and rival companies can pursue an "open source" solution - a collaborative public answer to the airline industry's greatest mystery.
Fugro's controlled glide hypothesis is also the first time officials have leant some support to contested theories that someone was in control during the flight's final moments.
Since the crash there have been competing theories over whether one, both or no pilots were in control, whether it was hijacked - or whether all aboard perished and the plane was not controlled at all when it hit the water. Adding to the mystery, investigators believe someone may have deliberately switched off the plane's transponder before diverting it thousands of miles.

Didn’t one of the survivor’s family members say they got a cell phone call from one of the passengers after it went missing?
“Parts of the plane have been recovered and verified to have been components of that particular aircraft.
Yeah, and flight 800 had a problem with it’s center fuel tank.
Need Better Rejoinder
That’s what my sister said a long time ago - it didn’t exist.
“Parts of the plane have been recovered and verified to have been components of that particular aircraft.”
If they went through all the trouble of creating this MH370 hoax, wouldn’t you think they would also scatter the “debris” around? These debris conveniently show up whenever the public interest starts to wane.
We were waiting to hear the analysis of the marine life attached to the part that was being analyzed by the French. To my knowledge, that important data has not been released. Specialists in ocean currents were particularly interested. The Malaysians have not been open with all they know, either.
There are close to 800 relatives of the dead passengers. Hard to fake them. And what would possibly be the point?
The parts have been positively identified with MH370. What can I tell you?
“There are close to 800 relatives of the dead passengers. Hard to fake them. And what would possibly be the point?”
I said MH370 could be faked. The dead were probably taken care of separately. To the reletives mourning their dead without the bodies, I quote Hillary: What difference, at this point, does it make?
Regarding the point of all this, just follow the search money. Probably in the tens of billions. There is money to be made.
Pretty cold. Good luck in you future endeavors.
