MH370 was near SIA68 when it disappeared, and SIA68 was near the northern arc when MH370 should have been there. It's possible that MH370 could have hid from casual radar by flying near SIA68 until it was in quieter airspace.
That's almost irrelevant though. The cost of investigating the northern arc would be a hundred times less than what has been spent in the ocean.

- mark-r 8y agoIs the article incorrect then when it says the marine life found on the debris was inconsistent with the amount of time the plane has been gone?
- DuskStar 8y agoFrom the article: > By now, some 30 pieces have been found. Investigators assumed that after more than a year these would be covered in rich colonies of marine organisms, whose makeup would shed light on the path the pieces had taken through the ocean. To their surprise, they found none of them hosted organisms more than a couple of months old. That gives some plausibility to "people moved debris to the ocean later", though also to "marine growth is weird sometimes". It doesn't support the statement "we have evidence confirming that MH370 crashed into the ocean at approximately the time it disappeared".
