Experts highly confident MH370 not in search zone

Missing Malaysian flight MH370 is almost certainly not in the current search zone in the remote Indian Ocean but could be further north, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau which has been leading the hunt, says in a report.<br/><br/>No trace has been found in the massive undersea hunt off Australia for the jet that disappeared en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, carrying 239 passengers and crew.<br/><br/>However, more than 20 pieces of debris recovered mostly on western Indian Ocean shorelines has been identified as likely, or definitely, from the doomed Malaysian Airlines flight.<br/><br/>A report last month said, the plane was likely out of control when it plunged into the ocean with its wing flaps not prepared for landing, casting doubt on theories that a pilot was still in charge.
