Unidentified debris has been retrieved now by ships - not confirmed to be actually from the plane, but maybe something

They probably didn't account for everything or they used a model that was missing something. This is common even in research. Your results are only as good as your assumptions or your model's assumptions.
It's a video ad. It's telling you to get away from London and go to the Maldives, Sri Lanka, etc.

Yea too much PC going around.
It's a video ad.
Garbage found in ocean confirmed to be garbage
Oh. I hope the ad is more than just water though (because I see a lot of video ad just looping the same few images over and over)

Good read.
Most rational assumption I've read to date.
yea

it's 4th of July in my asshole
Guess we should stop dumping so much shit into the ocean.
It's based on the Immarsat data that used satellite pings and the Doppler effect to narrow down a potential crash zone (which is still fucking huge).
So not really. Depends on how much you want to believe Immarsat is correct in their calculations. Otherwise, there is NOTHING to go on.
I want to see how long CNN can continue to talk about nothing.

Nevermind, I was wrong
Sure but debris an bodies were found in less than a week.
They found wreckage after 5 days. The black box took 2 years to find.
only some wreckage/bodies
the vast majority of both was found 2 years later (underwater)
Wow did I misunderstand this at first
Yesterday, they said they'd found their "most promising leads" in the form of several large, orange objects.
Today, they found them again but they turned out to be...fishing equipment.

Yeah, if they ever find this, I think it's going to be years from now at this point...

From todays press conference coverage. How low will the Daily Fail go?
09.50 More from Jonathan Pearlman in KL:
Aishah Zaharie, the daughter of the MH370 pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, has attacked The Daily Mail after it reported on Sunday that she had told police her father had recently appeared "lost and disturbed".
She wrote on Facebook today: "Dear Dailymail, You should consider making movies since you are so good at making up stories and scripts out of thin air.. May god have mercy on your souls. You can bet your ass I will not forgive you."
Police said on Sunday the report was unreliable and unsubstantiated.
09.39 Here is Tony Abbott saying there is no time limit to the search for missing MH370:
08.48 The Telegraph's Jonathan Pearlman reports from Kuala Lumpur:
Malaysia Airlines has reportedly issued new rules banning pilots from being left alone in the cockpit and will require crew members to step inside, including during toilet breaks.
The rules also reportedly require crew members to stand guard when the cockpit door is opened while food is served to the pilots.
A spokesman for the airline told Malaysia’s The Star newspaper that the airline had increased security but would not comment on the details. “For security purposes we are unable to discuss any of these procedures publicly,” the spokesman said.
The rules were reportedly issued in a circular sent to all crew by Missman Leham, the airline’s chief pilot, in the week after the plane disappeared on March 8.

RIP in peace daily mail.
An indication they believe one of the pilots went rogue, or just precaution?

I'm glad we have the satellite data so that is clearly out of the question. I'm sorry but we can see how people are posting less and the news is covering it less. Eventually, something else will claim our attention. The families will go home without closure. Malaysia will just be known as the guys asleep at the wheel. I assume most other countries have a better response to radar data and we would have found the plane quicker if it had originated in any 1st world nation. I hope, at least. I hope this isn't a common thing and just the wrong country at the wrong time.
Only reason to come to this thread now. I would laugh if it wasn't so sad.

I heard a serious discussion about this plane being retro fitted for use as a weapon against the US.
And that is somewhere in the middle east.
"Fishing equipment and dead jellyfish"
Yeah, it's time to give up. This so-called "search area" is too big to realistically be able to find anything, ESPECIALLY since we don't know whether the plane crash-landed in the water or broke apart into a million pieces upon impact. These multiple "object sightings" could all be red herrings if the plane is still intact.
Every time I hear something like that, just reminds me how Japan responded to the Fukushima accident and what people's reaction was then. And I have to disagree with "most other countries have a better response". Realistically, who can handle it better without just handing over the complete control to the US? Aside from the first world countries, and probably only a handful others (China, South-Korea?). It's an international effort for the most part, the only thing I see Malaysia could improve on is their communication.

Too many coincidences to not weigh intentional pilot actions more heavily than anything else. I think everyone is hoping that this was an accident and that the pilots are heroes, but with what we have, I'm not sure that's the most likely scenario.
The families will ensure they will never be able to give up searching for it.
Anyway, the lack of recent developments is quickly making the Immarsat data irrelevant. Could be hindering the search, if anything.
I think he's confusing "suicide" in the terrorism sense with "suicide" in the "I want to disappear so nobody knows I did it" sense.

Full transcript of communications between flight MH370 and Air Traffic Control Kuala Lumpur:
I think the media and a significant proportion of the people think no such thing and actually don't really care how much they substantiate their idle speculation.
If this plane is never found then heaven help the pilots familes who not only have to cope with loss, but also that they'll have to live with such talk behind their backs (and in the case of outlets like the Daily Fail, in their faces) for the rest of their days.

Have they come out and said why they said for two weeks that the final words were "All Right, Good Night" and now it's subtlely different?

Agreed with everything except how could terrorists fail that badly. In the states, we often get lucky because they're not good at what they do.
They've substituted the flight ID with all right. A mistake, or maybe someone thought "Good Malaysian three seven zero" sounded ominous out of context?
I can see the substitution as it is an acknowledgment/identifier.
I am however surprised at how little conversation there is with the tower in general. It must be normal to speak so little if there is nothing wrong with a takeoff. Still, from movies I imagined non-stop chatter.
