On a serious note, So why wasn't Indonesia inundated with debris on QZ8501 also?
Have you thought about that question with that in mind?
Cheers.
"QZ8501 fell in the Java sea, at that time of year the current goes one way, east, you did not need to be a current expert to work out where that debris was going. Although probably a fair bit got past the search teams, the current was so fast. But having several headlands (north) and South Sulawesi in the way ensured some would wash up. The current was not going towards Java. QZ8501 stayed relatively intact, lost the ends, belly split off, but wings stayed attached, look how much debris floated away.
There was nothing near MH370, not for thousands of km, it would have spread across the SIO before it got any where near Indonesia, and the currents on that side of Indonesia make it pretty hard for debris to wash up on West Sumatra, it would go west, into the gyre or north and still get snagged by a current going west before getting to West Sumatra. That first ATSB drift model was always suspect. And some debris could have gone east if MH370 fell further south, in the original AMSA search area where the aerial search teams saw debris."
Whatever floats your boat and butters your biscuit. The Current Moves East in Java anyways.
The Winds at that time of year shift but The Current flows East and from the North West and Outflows East and South Java Sea as it flows annually. AUwtf?
Regardless, You missed the point of the question being where was the debris on "any" coast from QZ8501.
