Australia's Prime Minister has said that the best leads in the search for Flight MH370 will run out in a week.
Tony Abbott said that search teams would have to regroup if it is not found within "a week or so" as the search continues to focus on an area where the black box is believed to be.
He told the Wall Street Journal: "We believe that search will be completed within a week or so.
"If we don't find wreckage, we stop, we regroup, we reconsider."
He continued: "My determination for Australia is that we will do whatever we reasonably can to resolve the mystery. If the current search turns up nothing, we won't abandon it, we will simply move to a different phase."Notice the careful selection of words: "within a week or so", "whatever we reasonably can", "different phase".
How could the search be completed within a week when their own authorities have already said the submarines would need minimum 20 days to scan the bottom of the latest narrowed area.
I think that is being taken out of context.
The JACC has indicated that in order to fully cover the seabed within the defined area, they will need between 6 - 8 weeks.
Maybe he is saying that they may find the wreckage within a week. I have not heard him say it, and he shouldn't of said it if he did.
The other thing is that the search for debris will be finishing in about a week or so. Maybe he is talking about that. The JACC also said that they will stop the search for debris very soon and any detection of debris is considered very remote by now.
