Fresh analysis of wreckage and satellite communications transmissions from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 suggests the Boeing 777-200ER's fatal dive into the Indian Ocean was uncontrolled and at "a high and increasing rate of descent". Investigators from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) looked at the damage sustained by two flight-control surfaces determined to be from the widebody, which were among more than 20 pieces of debris to have been washed ashore. The ATSB says that while its analysis is not fully conclusive, it indicates that the 777's flaps were retracted when the aircraft broke up and that it had not been conducting a controlled descent.
