The Daily Mail published a Q & A article about the status of the search for missing flight MH370. According to the article, which was sourced from AFP “So far, they have covered about 70 percent of a designated search zone four times the size of Belgium and are expected to be finished within months. “

An area of 4 x Belgium is roughly the same as

• 6 x Israel
• 3 x The Netherlands
• 3 x Switzerland
• 1 x North Korea
• 1/2 x The United Kingdom

So why did the journalist choose Belgium?  I doubt we will ever find out.
