January 16, 2017: Just as I predicted would eventually happen (back on December 16, 2014), the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has ended their search for the MH370 plane crash wreckage in their search area without ever finding MH370 in it: Underwater search of 120,000 square-kilometre area in the southern Indian Ocean completed. Wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 not found there. Malaysia, China and Australia announce decision to suspend the underwater search. "Paul Kennedy, the project director of Fugro – the Dutch company leading the search – acknowledged on Thursday [July 21, 2016] that, if the plane was not found there, "it means it's somewhere else"."

MH370 Preliminary Report Discrepancies

The MH370 Preliminary Report has two mistakes in it, yet I haven't seen any news organization mention them, nor question the investigators about them:

Mistake #1:  They state two different times for the last ACARS message.

01:07:29 MYT last ACARS message (page 4)
01:07:49 MYT last ACARS communication (page 3)

If there truly were two different events that occurred, they should make that clear. Otherwise, if one of those times is a "typo" one has to question their failure to have anyone proofread this important report.

Mistake #2: They state the first ACARS/satellite communication occurred prior to MH370 taking off, while it was still on the ground, yet the time they say it occurred is after MH370 took off.

00:41:43 MYT MH370 took off (page 2)
12:56:08 MYT first ACARS/satellite communication (page 3)

12:56:08am is the same as 00:56:08, which is after the plane took off, and therefore incorrect. We know from the Inmarsat plot that the first communication was around 12:30am MYT.
