"Indonesian military aircraft saw white, red and black objects,..."
Thanks for the update.
“Yusuf Latif said an Indonesian military aircraft saw white, red and black objects, including what appears to be a life jacket, off the coast, about 105 miles (170 kilometers) south of Pangkalan Bun.”
Wait a minute, are they saying that the life jacket under your airplane seat is really of no use?
I read an article earlier that they were investigating a fire on a small island in the flight path. Has anybody seen any updates on that?
I’m not getting excited about it yet. I give it till Wednesday, for the authorities to say this has no relation to the missing plane. I hope I’m wrong. I cannot imagine what the people of that region are thinking. I’ll bet more than a few refuse to believe all these vanishing giant planes are just accidental. Remember last March, when some statesman said “Flight 370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean” That has to be the understatement of the year. That was their way of saying we are done looking for it.
That area is the states dump.
Would it profit you to have a portable parachute strapped to your body during the flight? Could you manage to even get clear of the plane before crashing?

Plane Door found and emergency slide.

I haven’t heard anything about a search for an underwater locator beacon.
One picture appears to be an orange life jacket.
All of the life jackets I’ve seen on airplanes are inflatable with connection straps at the bottom rather than ties in the middle, so much different from what the picture shows. Of course, I’ve only looked at life jackets on US carriers.
Could actually be a life jacket. Whether it is from the plane is much more doubtful. If the plane fell into the ocean from 36,000 feet, there is going to be a lot of debris floating around out there.
Give it a couple more days and I suspect they will find the debris field.
Sad, but at least relatives will get some closure and know that their worst fears are confirmed.
I’ve been following this on tv while getting things done around the house. Sad news but expected.
I feel bad for the families but at least they’ll have some closure unlike the families of the MH370 victims. Most of these families will get to bury their loved ones.
I don’t care if they found debris or not...until I know the passenger manifest we won’t know if there was a motive of death to the passengers or not...we can almost assume muzlum pilots...e.g., what off 10 passengers were from a high tech Israeli company?
