MH370 mystery will soon be solved, chances of debris washing up in Indonesia?
Kuala Lumpur: The man in charge of co-ordinating the search for Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 believes the mystery will soon be solved, according to mirror.co.uk.
Australian Transport Safety Bureau crash investigator Peter Foley expects debris from the Boeing 777 to start washing up in Indonesia soon, reported Mirror UK.
It is nearly nine months since the Malaysia Airlines flight disappeared on the way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board. For the first 10 days the search now concentrated on the southern Indian ocean focussed on the South China sea.
A team of 180 people have been working full time on solving the mystery and Peter Foley said: "Something is going to wash up somewhere on the beach, most probably in Sumatra.
"We've had many people handing things into the local police.
"We send it off to Boeing and they identify it, but as yet we haven't positively identified anything from the aircraft.
"Things in the ocean take a long time to come ashore."
At the high priority search site two vessels are still working around the clock using 'side-scanning' sonar equipment. Crews of up to 40-people man the ships working in shifts to ensure the search never pauses.
"At times the weather out there has been absolutely terrible, with ten to 12 metre seas," Foley, said to Mirror UK.
"We will find the answer.
"It's important for the world to know what happened to this aircraft."

Meanwhile the chief executive of Emirates believes information on missing aircraft is being withheld by authorities.
In a formerly unpublished full transcript of an interview with a well-known aviation journalist, Sir Tim Clark further questioned the role of the Malaysian military. In the interview Sir Tim said: "I think we will know more if there is full transparency of everything that everybody knows.
"I do not believe that the information held by some is on the table.
"Who actually disabled ACARS [the plane’s Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System], who knew how to do it?
"If you eliminate the pilot on a suicide mission, I'm sure you could have put the aircraft in the South China Sea, rather than fly it for seven hours.
"So if he was on a suicide mission, he would have done it then.
"Who then took control of the aircraft?
"Who then knew how to disable ACARS and turn the transponder off?

"That is a huge challenge.
"I know this did not have to happen, there is technology to track these aircraft and everybody will say that, Boeing or Airbus.
"This is a very busy part of Southeast Asia, the notion that we should not be able to identify if it is friend or foe, or we can on primary radar and do nothing about it, is bizarre.
"But what was done?
"These are the questions that need to be asked of the people and the entities that were involved in all of this. "Full transparency of that will help us to find out what went on."
