My understanding is that jet fuel is very much similar to,but not identical to,ordinary diesel.One would assume that a chemist would be able to tell the difference.

The slick moved 3 miles in a month and remained intact?

[Mr. Jeeves]

If they used oil to refuel the plane that’s probably why it crashed. /s

[Iron Munro]

Authorities are determined to convince the public that the aircraft went down in the south Pacific even though there isn't the slightest bit of real evidence.

Where is all the flotsam and jetsam usually found floating in the sea after airliner crashes?

There are always suitcases, pieces of insulation, etc.

Always except this time.

This time all they have found is Red Herrings.

I’m positive that jet-A fuel would remain as an intact slick in the churning, stormy, part of the Indian Ocean /s

[HereInTheHeartland]

30 days after going down? Doesn’t seem likely; but who knows.

[minnesota_bound]

Missing Japanese sub from WW2.....

[McGruff]

I for one think they getting close to locating it.

[deport]

FYI if you haven’t already seen this.

[CodeJockey]

Probably 250 or more flotation devices (seat cushions), and who knows what else that will just NOT sink and we think it’s jet fuel from 370.

[Don Corleone]

Where is the trash? Where are the seat bottoms, life jackets, bags, all the various pieces of paraphernalia that passengers supply themselves with for a flight? None of that stuff has ever turned up floating on the sea as with other crashes. Why?

JMHO that they are looking in the wrong place for the wrong things. Nothing makes sense, common or even the kind proposed by governments.

[TexasCajun]

More likely Chinese trash.

[mosesdapoet]

Don’t they have amphibs that could meet this boat somewhere at sea pick it up and fly it back instead of waiting weeks for that ship to get in ?

Is Oil Slick Found Near 'Ping' Site Linked to Missing MH370? - prolly not so much.

[Vermont Lt]

If there is an oil slick there, its because we (The CIA) put it there. If there is a black box there, it is because that is where we put it.

I am surprised we did not change the batteries to give it extended pining life.

I though for sure this had crashed in the Ocean. Then I saw TWO stories about phones pinging off cellular towers near DG.

The whole story is just creepy. And if it turns out that those cel phone pings are true, it changes everything about the entire war on terror for the past 13 years.
