MH370 hunters must face failure, search chief tells Guardian

The chances of finding missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 are fading and searchers have to face possible failure, the head of the Australian investigation team told the Guardian newspaper. With about 15,000 square kilometres left to scour of a 120,000 square-kilometre search area in the southern Indian Ocean, there’s a “decreasing possibility” of success, Martin Dolan, head of the Australian Transport Safety Bureau, said Tuesday. When Dolan’s group began the search, the best advice received by experts was that it was highly probable, “but not certain the aircraft would be found in this area,” Dolan said. “We have to contemplate now the possibility that we will not find the aircraft.” Bad weather may delay the completion of the search -- originally slated for the middle of the year -- by at least a month. <br/>
