"Searchers have scoured about 110,000 square feet in a remote part of the southern Indian Ocean"

That is an amazingly small area to have covered!

MH370 pilot may have deliberately brought down the plane, new report claims

The pilot of missing flight MH370 had reportedly conducted a simulated flight deep into the remote southern Indian Ocean less than a month before the plane disappeared.

Findings in a document obtained by New York Magazine revealed Malaysia had given the FBI hard drives owned by pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah, with recorded sessions on a home-built flight simulator.

The document said it found “a flight path, that led to the Southern Indian Ocean, among the numerous other flight paths charted on the Flight Simulator” that could “be of interest”.

It also found key data on the hard drives had been deleted, however FBI investigators reportedly uncovered six deleted “data points”.

Each of these points recorded details about the simulated flight including altitude, speed and direction.
