No, I suspect these investigators are more of a clue than any of us about air accidents.

This is why it's taking so long.

So is this wreckage flotsam or jetsam?

You might be surprised. Some bloke on a yank show (not an air crash investigator admittedly) was crapping on about wear and tear, ocean currents and the chemical properties of water from place to place.

They also believe the barnacles encrusted in the part of wreckage might provide some clue as to the nature of the crash and the resting place of other parts of the airliner.

So looks like they got the arc of travel of MH370 about right. But with 100 m of silt, they'll never find the main fuselage on the bottom.
