The Bay of Bengal is one of the most polluted areas of ocean[ (wikipedia) in the world. It is where they scrap ships by breaking them up (wikipedia) on beaches. Here's an article with a lot of pictures: Graveyard shift - Dismantling toxic ships in Bangladesh (The Independent - Friday 26 July 2013)

GeoResonance told 7News: “We identified chemical elements and materials that make up a Boeing 777… these are aluminium, titanium, copper, steel alloys and other materials.”
Those same materials are what you end up with when you scrap ships... so, IMHO, it is not a credible lead.
