Something must be up. They're meeting with the families of the passengers right now.

(14,733 posts)the wailing of distraught family members as they left the conference.
Even MSNBC broadcast that, more than once, so I can only assume that certain other channels are playing it often as well.
Why, after every disaster, must the media exploit the fresh grief of the bereaved, rather than simply making a statement about the pain they are undergoing? Ugh.

(14,733 posts)That was meant as a first level comment under the diary.

(14,881 posts)Glad I didn't put on any of the video, though. The media has zero consideration for others' grief or bereavement. Zero, nyet, nada. It's all about ratings, no matter how much unecessary pain they inflict.

meanwhile relatives were sent texts that the aircraft was lost
Malaysian Airlines says it now has to assume "beyond any reasonable doubt" that missing flight MH370 has been lost and there are no survivors.
The announcement came in a text message, seen by the BBC, that was sent to families of those on board.

(19,841 posts)if there were any remaining doubts. Seems like it's just a matter of official verification of the debris.
The Malaysian prime minister's words were carefully chosen and meant to prepare the families IMO.
What in the world went wrong on that plane? I sure hope we know eventually.

(22,871 posts)when the plane went down or did they find debris?

(17,048 posts)but they are pretty sure it's the plane with debris found.

(10,044 posts)but how it knew it was 370 without 370's responder to identify it is a puzzle to me, equal to the mystery of why the plane disappeared.
They've said the reason it took so long for some countries to provide informatin is because there are so many blips on their radar that it was difficult to find one plane with certitude..so how they all of a sudden got certainty will be questioned. Conveniently, the bottom of the ocean there is 3 miles down, and even subs don't go down that far...

(14,881 posts)plus the satellite data from multiple countries and narrow it down by process of elimination. Remove the blips they can identify and end up with a bunch of blips they can't identify, and a pattern emerged?

(19,841 posts)"This evening I was briefed by representatives from the UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB). They informed me that Inmarsat, the UK company that provided the satellite data which indicated the northern and southern corridors, has been performing further calculations on the data. Using a type of analysis never before used in an investigation of this sort, they have been able to shed more light on MH370s flight path.
Based on their new analysis, Inmarsat and the AAIB have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the Indian Ocean, west of Perth.
This is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."
