MH370 may have crashed near Madagascar, underwater microphones suggest
A study of underwater sound waves recorded on the day the Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 disappeared suggests a different route and a possible crash site north-east of Madagascar, if indeed the data is from the missing plane. Scientists at Cardiff University in the UK have examined acoustic-gravity waves picked up by 2 hydro-acoustic stations in the Indian Ocean, one off Cape Leeuwin in Western Australia and the other at Diego Garcia further north. Signals from both stations show sound waves that could have come from a large object, such as a meteorite or an aircraft hitting the water. "We have now been able to identify 2 locations where the aeroplane could have impacted with the ocean, as well as an alternative route that the plane may have taken," Cardiff University's Dr Usama Kadri said. <br/>
