6 bodies found...TV was braoadcasting and some of the familes went hysterical when they saw bodies in the water....but they’ve been on edge for days....Not sure how you can soft play this...I suspect they’ve cut whatever feed using.
I’m not posting bodies of course....they are swelled but the authorities will be able to identiy them ....that’s all we need to know in that respect.
Very hard day now for families...:(
Just sad at the moment...for the families...tough road ahead...
Some foreign TV news channels right now are regretting airing graphic live feeds from Indonesia outlets.

I’ve seen a couple of quick video clips on tv of them dragging bodies to the helicopter and that was plenty for me. They shouldn’t have shown live feeds to the families while the recovery was going on. They didn’t need to see that, as tormented as they already are.
I’m sad for them, too. Been sad since first hearing about the plane’s disappearance. I can only try to imagine what they’re going through and it wouldn’t be close.
TV have apologized for airing that....however...as distasteful as it was....if I were in their shoes then there would be no doubt in my mind...otherwise I might be filling my heart with false hope....
Water depth had much to do with them finding it this soon...and they knew it would not be as difficult...actually they are really two very different events.
I think a big problem with MH370 was that there were reports of sightings of the plane flying way off their designated course and no one knew where to begin looking for it.
They had a good idea where to look for this one and it still took a couple of days.
Sad to see the inevitable confirmed.
Hope they are able to recover the flight recorders and get a good understanding of the events that led up to the crash.
Tough way to end the year.
My feeling is that some things should be left alone. A live feed wasn’t necessary. With the reports of pieces of the plane being spotted, I don’t think any of the families had any hope of survivors being found. It was obvious that the plane and the passengers came to a traumatic end. If I were in their shoes, I wouldn’t want to see it.
Yep, when I heard them say the emergency exit door was found, I knew the search was over. Up until that point, I wasn’t sure. They’d supposedly spotted some sort of debris at least once yesterday but it wasn’t from the plane.
But you’re thiking as a Westerner....asians and other foreign news don’t always see things via our perspective....however they did apologize and regreeted doing so.
Also news stories are a fast business, always trying to get there first...even our agencies put things out i find offensive when they shouldn’t.
Aljazeer pretty much puts anything out there....they do so because for them life and death are what they are with all it’s warts and unpleasantries.
The fact some of th bodies had lifejackets, or at least jackets seen in the water...might indicate, along with the emergenc door...they may have struggled to save themselves....
I have no clue what it is to be in a diving plane ...nor would I want to know...but I assume you do know your heading down.
