This news has just broken here in Australia. Chinese and Australian ships have returned from the site of the debris located by satellite, and have confirmed than none (thus far) bears any resemblance to anything that would indicate flight MH370 had crashed in that location.

Yeah, I saw this on the 11:00 news last night. I don't know if they'll ever find that plane. This is very odd, isn't it? With as many forces from different countries searching, no one can spot any real debris from the plane. Now, my conspiracy part of my brain is kicking in again.

Thanks for sharing, Benjamin.
They shouldn't have made any official "it crashed in the ocean" statements when clearly they had no certainty of it then and apparently they don't now either.

I tire of these debris seen news articles. How many times have they found debris now that turns out to be the wrong debris? I think we will see this aircraft whole somewhere at sometime. My question is are the passengers alive or murdered?

In all honesty, Rieom, I think that those people are dead regardless. If the plane was hijacked, it wasn't for hostages, or they would have come out of the shadows by now to ask for something (unless they have and everything is going on secretly, with these "debris" news to distract us in the meantime). If the plane was hijacked for terrorism, they don't need any of those people and probably have killed them by now. If the plane crashed somewhere there's a very high chance of everyone having died as well, so... I'm afraid there's no good outcome from this. It's very sad.

I have to agree with that, John. Although, we'd better be careful because people might accuse us a being conspiracy threorists since we wonder and hae hypothesis....lol..in all seriousness though..... It IS very sad though and I feel so bad for those family members who are just waiting to hear anything. Whay horrible anguish they must be going through. I couldn't ven imagine whay they are foing through. What a nughtmare!

It's certainly interesting that the debris they keep spotting continues to be other refuse. It makes me wonder whether the analysis by INMARSAT could possibly be a red herring.
For those who have no idea what I'm talking about - the plane was set to "ping" its location to satellites every 45-ish minutes. Those pings don't indicate the location of the plane, but they DO indicate a specific corridor of the earth in which the plane is travelling (e.g. if a plane had been in another corridor, it would have pinged a different satellite). Using the doppler effect, INMARSAT calculated the distance of the plane from the satellite, in an attempt to deduce its location.
Now... I wonder whether something has gone awry there. Clearly the pings indicated the Indian Ocean, which is fine - but they didn't indicate an exact location, merely a rough direction. In effect, they ruled out the plane going north, leaving just the southern stretch of the corridor as a possibility. HOWEVER... there are landing locations within that southern corridor (Diego Garcia being the one most people are talking about), which still leaves open the possibility that, if this debris isn't MH370, perhaps MH370 is still somewhere, safe.
Either way, the people on board are most likely dead... but it raises a few scary possibilities.
The current stories just don't quite add up (still). If a pilot wanted to commit suicide, why fly south for 7 hours before plunging the plane into the sea? If they were looking for a safe place to land, why didn't they look at a MAP? Even if all the instruments were down, surely a pilot could calculate a course without them - or at LEAST manage to find land (given that Australia was directly south, and we're a pretty big land mass to miss)...
it just doesn't make sense.

If they landed the plane at Diego Garcia, then America would have to be involved as I believe this is the property of the US. There many questioned to be answered and Benjamin brings up good questions. The families, of those on the flight, are in agony waiting to hear if there loved ones are alive.
Which brings me to the thought if this could be a red flag. Could they use this plane to crash in one country and blame it on someone else?

It's anyone's guess at this point, until this plane comes out of the shadows, if it has indeed been hijacked. All those people, though. I can't even begin to think of the horror they must have gone through, whatever the plane's fate was.

This Time article appears to be the latest update: The Missing Jet’s Black Box Has Only Enough Power to Last the WeekendAuthorities are desperately searching for signals from MH 370's data recorder before the battery runs out of power, estimated to happen on Monday, but without any confirmed debris fields for clues, or established flight path, the job is virtually impossible.
