Poor battery hampered seekers – Sydsvenskan

The battery on the radio that would locate the plane would have been replaced in December 2012, which makes it uncertain whether the transmitter worked. It says an international team of experts, a year after the disappearance when 239 people are believed to have died.

– My biggest concern is that sökfartygen be riding over the aircraft, but not heard any pings (signals) because of this, says flight consultant Gerry Soejatman in Jakarta told AFP.

In other investigators have not found anything that might explain why the plane disappeared, neither any mechanical problems or the pilots and cabin crew somehow mismanaged their mission.

“In their behavior is no sign of social isolation, change in habits or interests… or of drug or alcohol influence,” notes the report.

Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott is still optimistic about finding the plane, and says that the search area can be further expanded.

– We owe it to the families of those killed, he said, according to Reuters.

The country is one of the persons responsible for the international sökinsatsen after the plane, which has now operated by 40 percent of the 60,000 square kilometer area in the Indian Ocean.
