Wouldn't a miracle be wonderful!!
I am really hoping that the plane is some stranded island and somehow they will show up. Hopefully, a shorter time than Gilligan's Island, that lasted a long time.

Still hoping for definitive proof of plane debris -- closure for the families. Answers, investigations, and cause can come later.
My prayers and thoughts are with them all.
Positive vibes for the searchers as their job is becoming so difficult.

Maybe we should wait for independent verification before celebrating. If it's true, at least the families will know. Hopefully Australia or the Americans will be able to identify something solid soon.
Prayers being sent.hopefully these families will know for sure.Such along process for an answer.
I am devastated. I was really hoping that this didn't play out like this. My thoughts and prayers go to all of the families and friends left behind.....
The local paper had an article last week about a lady who knows that Wood who was on the plane...either his name is Paul or that is a brother of the man on the plane. One of three Americans on board? The lady and the man were planning on being together in Beijing in the near future. She teaches English or something like that. She had passed through this area during one time of her life...and so the article. She indicated at that time that not knowing what happened would likely be harder to endure than to know ultimately the fate of the man she knew and those with him. I imagine so.
I'd wondered in an earlier post about the transponder, if that device could be set so an airborne plane could masquerade as another flight. Had the television on the other night...Sunday...Fox News channel. Was reading on the kindle, had the sound turned low on the TV, when I heard the word transponder so I set the kindle aside and reached for the volume control. Huckabee hour...several heads at once on the screen...a man in the audience asked a question. Could another transponder be used, brought aboard a plane. Some official answered...and my hearing isn't what it once was so take it all w/a grain of salt...but he said that could be done although a plane's transponder could be...tuned...to present a different identifying number...but for someone bent on ill-will to try to poach, his word, another identity would not be successful.
I can't imagine what they went through. Don't want to imagine...

It is all just so sad. Those families are all I can think of,how hard it must be for them.
That is possible but whatever the answer to what happened is, it's very strange.
If he was going to kill himself, why fly to the Southern part of the Indian Ocean instead of just crashing after takeoff?
Also, people that do something like this usually like to leave some clues about why they did what they did.
If it was some sort of terrorist act, why is no one taking credit? and again, why fly to the Southern Indian Ocean?
This is a strange one. It looks like this was done intentionally and whoever planned it knew exactly how evade detection at the precise time and how to put this plane in the most difficult place on Earth to find, but why?
Seeing as how the plane is submerged in 20,000+ feet of water I don't see how they are ever going to find it, let alone get any clues from it. Unless the Malaysian Government is sitting on some kind of evidence that has not been made public yet, I'm afraid this may go down alongside the Amelia Earhart mystery.
And I'm with you. If suicide, why fly the plane all that way and not just crash it outright? A fire on board or loss of pressure (knocking everyone out) certainly would lend credence to that, but an automatic pilot setting doesn't have an "evade radar" mode in it that I've ever heard of. Or turn off communications.

Well,they do have those deep water submersibles that go to amazing depths..whether they could find or recover the black box is the question..
Oh, I hope they do find them or some kind of clue that can give these poor families (and the rest of the world) some answers. Sorry if I sound too pessimistic. It just sounds like it is an impossible task to accomplish given where they are looking and what they can recover.
Those subs are amazing though - just look at the Titanic and other discoveries.

Yeah,technology has come an awful long way,if it is possible to make a recovery at this point,I dunno. I see some folks are questioning why if it was a suicide or terrorist attack,to just fly out to where it was with no claims of responsibility.As far as suicide,you never know what desperate thoughts the actor is having,or why they do what they do.Terrorists,well you would think they would want to claim it,but also look at all the pain,fear and media coverage this act,by being so inexplicable,has engendered..may be the new face of terror,just crazy acts that leave people wondering..
Just so sad for everyone who lost someone and as strange as it may seem, at least the families may get closure.
Something else - It is almost winter in this area of the world and it will be next to impossible to search if they don't find something very soon.
They had to call off all operations because of high seas and bad weather just today. Or it is yesterday there?
My thoughts and prayers goes out to families who lost a loved one. It's so heartbreaking.
I personally think this was a practice run for something bigger.
