Well, he claims that he did say something: > He says he tried to alert authorities of his find soon after returning to port, phoning the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. > Within hours, he received a return call from an official. The message was that a shipping container had fallen from a Russian ship in the area off Robe. The implication, he says, was that he’d probably fished up a shipping container, or part of it. > AMSA said this week it had no record of corresponding with Olver during that period. > Unimpressed, he chose not to pursue the matter. Three years later, he tried again. > Olver wrote an email dated Monday, November 27, 2017, to Ocean Infinity, the company undertaking a new – and ultimately fruitless – search for MH370. > [...] > He says he received no reply.
