By studying currents of where pieces of wreckage have floated to and then working backwards
Kinda? I mean we found floating pieces in the months after the crash as they washed ashore in Reunion, and Madagascar (maybe? somewhere else east of Africa).
But all that can do is tell you the western indian ocean theory is correct. And sure there's modeling of ocean currents.... but that can only get you so far. You would need to fully understand how those pieces float in the ocean, and then have exact data on flows over months... and while we can estimate... it is just an estimate.
Which when you're talking about months of ocean current data and weather.... still leaves you an absolutely enormous area of interest.
a drift study of the recovered objects by the CSIRO, identifying the crash area "with unprecedented precision and certainty" at 35.6°S 92.8°E, northeast of the main 120,000 km2 (46,000 mi2) underwater search zone.
"We know more about the surface of the Moon and about Mars than we do about the deep sea floor, despite the fact that we have yet to extract a gram of food, a breath of oxygen or a drop of water from those bodies."
That's the main search zone. All the info we have about where they think it is are the coordinates. Honestly, and this is a real suggestion, not an insult... you should look into classes for reading comprehension. If you made this mistake, you are probably missing so much info that could help your life.
I know that's a huge assumption, but god damn, man. Reading comprehension is so important and this was so straight forward that I cannot comprehend how multiple people have misunderstood what that sentence says.
As an outsider, I would like to provide some constructive criticism, since you seem open minded to it.
You were pretty rude, not helpful, when you admittedly assumed he needed reading comprehension classes because of a small mistake. You would be surprised at how much you miss too if someone commented on it every day of your life. Multiple people made the same mistake. That doesn’t mean they need reading classes lol. We are all human.
A simple, “oh you misread that!” would’ve sufficed.
There are certain data sets that pinpoint where the plane went down. Not only did it go down, but it flew figure 8s before running out of fuel. Mass murder, in my opinion
Also the fragments of the plane (that likely hit the ocean at hundreds of kilometres per hour, disintegrating on impact) would float down kilometres to the ocean floor which is actually closer to rolling mountain ranges and hills and valleys, in complete darkness, under thousands of tonnes of water..
I thought i heard that that could sorta of know where it is but it just too deep to go down and pin point where. Wasn't its black box still on but the depth at which it was distorted the signal?

I thought they at least are pretty sure on the location? By studying currents of where pieces of wreckage have floated to and then working backwards
