1. They used analysis from the British air accident agency (AAIB) and the Immarsat satellite company. They concluded that in the last known position of the plane, it would be in a position where it would not have enough fuel to reach land
2. Insurance companies can't pay the families of the dead until there is a declaration of death.

They have no evidence. They have no bodies. They have no debris, no flight recorders, no sightings and no radar signatures that would put the aircraft in the Indian Ocean.

It sounds like they have a pretty conclusive evidence of the path and last known position of the aircraft or at least all its systems from the satellite data. Path was toward the middle of nowhere, Indian Ocean. Last known was thousands of miles from land over the Indian Ocean with no fuel left to go anywhere else by a margin in the multiples. Not physical evidence, but pretty conclusive. I suspect they will find the physical evidence quite soon.

Coming form any news organization that speculates 23 hours a day around the one our a day of actual facts they have, this would be funny. But from the network that brought us the black hole theory this is hilariously, uproariously funny.

The best part was the CNN host "Oh, I totally agree! We should not speculate. But please go on!"
The thing getting on my nerves, they will ask the expert a question, I will be interested in his answer but then they interrupt him and ask someone another question.
I'm beginning to think it was shot down because the person piloting the plane was heading (or flying over) somewhere he shouldn't have been. By who, who knows. But the longer the debris has to spread itself out, the better it is for whoever shot it down.
I kinda feel they will find some evidence in the next few days or so. With that many planes, ships, and satellites looking for it something has got to turn up.
That is just ridiculous that the entire flight is not recorded. That needs to change.
No kidding. Perhaps the problem there isn't the technology, for sure it exists but rather pilots unions and privacy concerns.
From the privacy perspective, if that is the case (I don't know) there is some valid concern there since very few airliners crash and often it is the flight data records that solve the mystery of the crash, not what the pilots said.
We don't have voice recorders on buses and they crash far more frequently and sometimes there is great loss of life too.
To get around privacy concerns it should be possible to auto erase the recordings if the flight is uneventful. This tragedy is horrible but thankfully it doesn't happen that frequently.
I guess the disconcerting thing is that while we are surrounded by technology that seems to be able to track, record and report on almost anything we do, that airliners have so little really comes out in these situations. The technology exists, why it isn't being used is a question that always seems to have an answer in money. Considering the millions upon millions spent so far and the millions that will be spent in recovery when the plane is found, the insurance payouts, the damage awards and civil or criminal penalties, adding some technology to mitigate even some of those costs in the future would seem cheap in comparison.
Any articles that talk about what ships are in the same area the debris have been located? I am only finding articles about search planes. Surely, ships have made it to the area by now.
It's a time rip...im telling you!!
