I think they need to stop talking about it 24/7. That Air France plane took 2 years to find and they knew where it went down. The news gonna cover this red herring forever?
Don't look at Putin invading the Ukraine, lets' talk about this plane so we don;t have to know the US and Eurozone is doing nothing.

Didn't Crimea vote to rejoin Russia?
Anyways, about the MH370 Jet, things are getting bleek, since the Black Box 30 day battery life of sonar ping is over half way over already. So in 2 weeks, once the battery runs out, if they don't have any good leads it may turn into something like scouring the Indian Ocean with sonar/visual submarines, which is extremely intensive work. Like, it could be 10+ years and gigantic costs before we find anything on the more worst case scenarios.
So I really hope they get some breaks/debris/something soon to at least narrow down the search, or things could get pretty ugly for any hopes of recovery ever.

Australia's Acting Prime Minister Warren Truss says authorities are hopeful of a breakthrough in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370, after an Australian aircraft spotted the small pieces of debris.
Visiting the Australian Maritime Safety Authority's Canberra headquarters on Sunday, Mr Truss said the Indian Ocean search will continue "as long as there is hope".
"We hope that soon there will be more information available that might help to provide some kind of closure, or at least an understanding of what's happened, especially to the families of those who were on board Malaysia Airlines flight 370," he said.
Mr Truss's comments echoed those of Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who earlier said an Australian civilian aircraft had on Saturday spotted debris in the southern Indian Ocean, including a wooden pallet.
It was still too early to say whether the debris was from an aircraft, Mr Abbott said in his latest update on the search.
March 22, 2014: Communication transcripts between the cockpit of Flight MH-370 and the control tower in Kuala Lumpur have shed light on the final minutes leading up to the plane's disappearance. It came as search efforts were bolstered as part of the
"But obviously we have now had a number of very credible leads," he told reporters in Papua New Guinea, also referring to new Chinese satellite imagery suggesting at least one large object.
"There is increasing hope, no more than hope ... that we might be on the road to discovering what did happen to this ill-fated aircraft."
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority (AMSA) said several small objects were identified by a civil aircraft in Saturday's search and further searches would continue on Sunday to determine if the objects were related to the missing plane.
Four civil jets and four military aircraft were involved in Sunday's operation, which AMSA says would be a visual search based on the satellite imagery.
Mike Barton from AMSA's Rescue Coordination Centre said wooden pallets were quite common in the airline industry.
"We've gone back to that area today to try and refind it," he told reporters in Canberra.

There is a difference between a free election and the vote that took place in the Crimea. A big difference.

“We deeply regret that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board have survived," the airline said in a statement.
"We must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the Southern Indian Ocean."
The airline made the statement after calling an urgent meeting in Beijing at 12.30am AEDT for families of those on the Boeing 777, which went missing on March 8.

They just call it that...its really bright orange.
They'll never find it, shit they only know what quadrant (maybe) of the ocean. Its been a goat screw from the gitgo; they've besmirched the pilot in multiple ways; and they don't really know shit. Shame

Following Malaysian Prime Minister Najiv Razak's announcement this morning that techniques "never before used in an investigation of this sort" had proven beyond doubt that the Boeing 777 had crashed, new information has been revealed about the complex investigation that managed to prove the fate of the flight.
Those techniques were used by mobile communications company Inmarsat, which provides satellite data for the airline.
Even though the plane's transponder and ACARS system had been turned off, the company's box on the plane - equivalent to a mobile phone handset - had remained on and was polled every hour by Inmarsat's satellite.
Hourly "pings" still being sent after the plane's tracking systems had been switched off contained no data about the plane’s location but were just a simple "hello" to alert that the aircraft was still travelling.
Although they didn't provide technical data, their timing and frequency contained hidden mathematical clues that allowed investigators to track the likely path and final location of the plane.
