a) First sight
b)Scientific examination
a) By first sight you can tell A LOT. e.g is this piece aluminum, does it have paint markings on, is it plastic, does it look like a bag compartment, is it clothing, does it contain any purses any papers any money inside, is this a cushion, does it look like a planes cushion, etc etc.
While the best procedure is to wait for
b) the scientific/expertise investigation to confirm everything
If anything of real importance was retrieved I would expect the Australians to say this:
From first sight, from first look we have an x, xx, xxx number of objects collected that seem to be related to MH370.
It seems to me they are simply collecting garbage that have been floating there for years....
The Australians are merely waiting for all the Scientific analysis. Australians are normally pedantic and pay a lot of attention to detail. And because the military is directly involved, the authorities will not make any assumptions.
Meanwhile, another Australian warship is scheduled to depart Garden Island with deep sea robotic drones and ELT sensors.
Malaysia has sent 2 C-130s and one was flying in the search area whilst the other was grounded due tech issue.
The Australian Government has announced that the Department of Defence and the ADF will coordinate all operations as the military buildup is now enormous. There are a lot of ships and aircraft mobilized from 7 countries and more equipment is scheduled to join the operation in the coming days.
