The wing debris does belong to MH370, Malaysia prime minister Najob Razak has just confirmed.

He then reiterates investigators’ commitment to solving the mystery of the missing flight in a brief statement.

Razak then repeats his sympathies and condolences for the families of passengers and crew who were on board the flight.

The surprise announcement by the prime minister included no details about how the investigators determined the provenance of the wreckage, and French prosecutors and investigators may still deliver a statement as was previously planned.

1. Those poor families.

At least we know a bit more.

2. What's with the news?

Yesterday's headline said it didn't belong to MH370, now it does.

First they shot Jericho, then next day they didn't.

Double messages are confusing. In a relationship or a political campaign
they're about abuse and control.

In these instances I haven't a clue what to make of them.

3. I don't remember seeing anything suggesting that it WASN'T from MH370...

...there was a story that OTHER found debris had been determined not to come from a Boeing 777.

15. You must not visit rt.com then

I'm not really clear as to what the beef is with this debris being linked to MH370, but there seems to be one.

4. There was another item found after the first piece

The second item was not from an airplane at all.

5. I'm sure I saw a headline

saying the wing wasn't part of the plane, but can't find it.

8. That's for the second piece of debris, which almost certainly came from a boat

6. At least they know it went down. They'll probably call off the search now.

"The Indian Ocean's average depth is 12,990 feet (3,960 metres), and its deepest point, in the Sunda Deep of the Java Trench off the southern coast of Java, is 24,442 feet (7,450 metres).

7. Disagree...

...now they know it came down along the southern arc, they'll try to back into a location from the equatorial currents.

[Baclava]

12. It's good news that a piece has been found, but so far that just means they are in the right ocean.

The vague terminology of "search area" remains

Currents change, it could have come from anywhere over thousands of square miles

[Blue_Tires]

9. They still need to know the how and why...

[Baclava]

11. They'd need the voice and data recorders for that

and they're no closer to finding them than a year ago, the ocean is too big

[Blue_Tires]

13. Which is why it's that much more tragic

that the Malaysian government let everyone waste the first week by searching an area they *knew* the aircraft wouldn't be located...

I still believe it will be found sooner or later...Might take years, but technology gets better all the time...

[Baclava]

14. maybe, it's hard to imagine the vastness of the ocean depths, 3 miles down, undersea mountain ranges

Ever watch "Drain the oceans"?


These are the tips of the Bahamas, with the water drained away - watch your step

[question everything]

10. Now we know. For certain

We knew that they were gone, but at least now it is proven.

Let's hope that more parts will be found and, perhaps, some explanation of what happened.

Sad for the families, to be reminded of the pain and heartache.
