Don't know.
So you would be able to SEE any such landing strip in this photo.

.. the Malaysian Government has a motivation, may be several billions of motivations, to have the location of the main body of the aircraft un-discoverable into the foreseeable future if the early reports of problems with NiCad batteries exploding in aircraft operated by the Malaysian Government and they were transporting NiCad batteries on this flight. It is my understanding that within the industry there were warnings circulated as well.
Did those pieces look like they'd been drifting in the Ocean for a year?
