MH370: 'It's been 10 years, nothing has changed'
"I wonder if this detector is so sophisticated or if the Boeing 777 is so high-tech that it can still send a signal."
SHAH ALAM - "Nothing has changed."
That is the response from the family of MH370 tragedy victim, Intan Maizura Othaman, 44, regarding the claim that a British researcher has detected a signal that might lead to the discovery of the aircraft.
The wife of flight attendant Mohd Hazrin Mohamed Hasnan said that even though 10 years have passed and all the advanced technology in the world has been used, it would not change anything.
"We've been dealing with this for a while now and it's not getting any better," she said.
On Wednesday, it was reported that British researchers revealed the signal was detected at Cape Leeuwin in Western Australia, one of two hydrophone stations within tens of minutes of signal travel time from the last radar contact with the aircraft.
Researchers from Wales reportedly picked up a six-second signal using an underwater microphone or hydrophone that could potentially lead to the plane's final location.
However, Intan Maizura said she felt it was strange for someone to make such allegations without any evidence.
"They say that after 10 years, the hydrophone picks up the signal. I wonder if this detector is so sophisticated or if the Boeing 777 is so high-tech that it can still send a signal.
"As far as I know the transmitter installed on the tail of the Boeing 777 should be activated when there is a G-force effect and send a signal as soon as the plane crashes.
"Unfortunately, the signal does not last for 10 years and that is if the plane really crashes," she said.
She said it is vital to verify claims with evidence to avoid unfounded statements.
