Search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 a mammoth task that could take years
"THE sobering reality is that finding the resting place of the sunken naval flagship HMAS Sydney, lost for 67 years, was an easier undertaking than locating the missing Malaysia Airlines jet.
Finding Sydney’s grave was relatively simple, once funding to conduct the search finally came through in 2007. The same does not apply to MH370, a search that has been heavily backed from the start.
Sydney lies on similar latitude, in roughly the same waters off Western Australia as the Boeing 777 is thought to have crashed. Though the Australian warship had no black box, it had something more valuable: eyewitnesses to its destruction.
HMAS Sydney went down in November 1941. It was our biggest naval loss of WWII, with 645 Australians aboard perishing in that one event — more than we lost in the entire Vietnam War.
The Sydney had approached the disguised German raider, Kormoran, about 200km west of Shark Bay. As it sought to identify the Kormoran, the Sydney got too close and lost its tactical advantage.
Kormoran opened up with torpedoes and strafing fire and mortally wounded the pride of the Australian fleet."
