Normally need at least 3 seismographs to locate position. This seems to be based on only 2 seismographs thus cannot rule out the mirror opposite location, which is near faults and therefore a more likely scenario is regular earthquake.

Only detected on 2 seismographs. Surely there are others in the region.

The location is relatively close to where radar and radio contact was lost (70 miles), yet the time was much later (90 minutes although once again could be partly due to time zones). What happened to the aircraft in between times?
Does the timing of the seismic event corroborate with the satellite ping on the aircraft that most experts now acknowledged that the aircraft has flown 4-5 additional hours after initial disappearance?
