I think that's the point, the people who lost their loved ones need closure not a constant stream of potentially devastating non-information

And why does the Prime Minister have to deliver this message? Isn't it really the airlines fault?

tighter governmental control of the release of information

 

[snickerd3]

is the airline owned by the government or a private company?

I don't trust most anything that comes out of Malaysia....

Sounds like they may actually be close to pinpointing the location of the crash. News this morning said there are reports of up to 110 pieces of debris.

 

[snickerd3]

and there were something like 300 pieces spotted yesterday...they all look like white cap waves to me when I look at the pics...good thing thats not my job.

Blocked at work as a "suspicious site."

Here is the "story" then:

Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 flight went missing on March 8, 2014. After a grueling three week search, the airplane was finally discovered today at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).
In a shocking turn of events, federal investigators discovered the plane had been at LAX since March 8, but unable to find a gate, aimlessly taxied the runway until today.

"LAX is a disorganized mess," Malaysia Airlines said in a statement. "We f**king hate that airport."

While many passengers were furious it took so long to find a gate, frequent business traveler Shirly Chan was not surprised.

"I've been to [LAX] before. This kind of stuff always happens. You land then you sit. It's to be expected."

Chan however felt that Malaysia Airlines could have done more to ease the burden on its passengers.

"The pilot could have turned off the fasten seat belt sign. I can't tell you how hard it is to hold it in for three weeks."

"I wish we landed at Burbank," Chan added. "That airport is so much easier."

Malaysia Airlines has not yet stated whether the passengers will be compensated for the inconvenience.

"Honestly that's the least of my concerns," said passenger Robert Choo. "It's been six hours and our luggage still hasn't made it to baggage claim."

On Sunday, a pinger locator in the Indian Ocean detected signals consistent with those sent by a flight data recorder and a cockpit voice recorder, said the head of the Australian agency coordinating search operations. The signals had a frequency that's specially designed for recorders -- a sound not occurring in nature.

Maybe, finally a promising lead?

 

[snickerd3]

apparently the US ping locator heard it too. they just have to triangulate where the noise was coming from

 

[NJmike PE]

I hope they find it. This has been so bizarre.

Am I the only person wondering why they only have one of these yellow submarines searching? If there are X of those things in the world then it seems like at least X/2 of them should be working on this search, not one of them.

perhaps the others are busy doing other stuff?

 

[Road Guy]

I think it's owned by a private company but I don't know how many they have... They just keep saying the same company found the air France plane.....

So does Malaysia air pick up the bill for all this?

I have had the song about yellow submarines stuck in my head all morning because of this thread
