Apparently they saw it on satellite and now are sending planes. It was the Aussie Prime Minister who said this, said it to Parliament, so I'm guessing it's pretty likely it's not just random junk they spotted.

I'm still hoping it landed safe somewhere. Those poor families.

Is it daylight there, now? They said out of all that space, they're searching an area about the size of Colorado. NVM, it's 11:45 am there.

Completely agree. When I see a post blaming the pilot, I move right on to the next one. No proof, let's stop tarnishing their names before we know anything at all.

And right now? NONE of us know anything at all. What I can say is, I sure hope some people are never on my jury if I ever get accused of something.

I fully agree. If they are found to be at fault after the facts are known, fine let em have it. But so many are preemptively assigning all blame upon them. For all we know they did everything in their power to save lives, including their own.

See, this is what is irritating the crap out of me. (Not the posters who shared this...fyi.) I am getting tired of the news doing this.

Hey, media, let's try this for a change: How about you WAIT until they go look at the alleged debris, and determine if it came from the flight, before you go pushing it out to the public.

I'm ticked that the Malaysian government has been dragging their feet on this, and I'm even more ticked that the media, (and that would be ALL media), keeps throwing out every little rumor that they hear along the way. Enough of this baloney already.

What they DID show on the news, that was newsworthy, was that poor mom who lost her son on that flight. I guess there was a news conference and she was extremely unhappy, and let them know that, to the point that they escorted her out. I've done been ticked off for a week now, more people are getting annoyed and fatigued, but the families and friends of those who were on that plane....they've had it rough - more rough than we can imagine. I would say how we feel times about 30,000 + every other emotion, is probably how they feel right about now.

I bet they were able to zoom in and see words/logos on parts of the floating debris.

It has to be a rollercoaster ride with emotions for the families. My heart goes out to those that have lost a loved one if in fact this is true.

If they did that, they wouldn't be the FIRST ones to break the story!
