A teenager hunting for birds in the jungle of a Philippine island claims to have stumbled upon a fuselage “full of skeletons” and a Malaysian flag, and authorities believe it could be from missing Flight MH370.

The coastal wreckage in Tawi Tawi was under investigation by local authorities in Malaysia’s Sabah region Monday.

The finding was reported by Jamil Omar of Borneo, 46, who says his nephew made the grim discovery in September, but didn’t realize what it was as he has no access to television or newspapers.

The fat guy from “Lost” went on to “Alcatraz,” which I liked, but it got cancelled after a year.

The girl from that was a cutie. She went on to Vegas, which I liked, which was canceled after a season.

I liked Alcatraz a lot as well and it got killed just as it was getting interesting.

I’d like to at least known where “escapees” were and how they got wherever it was.

They really left it hanging.

I think the same thing happened to “Dark Skies” — the creators plotted it out for a five-year run with a continuing plotline, and it got cancelled after the first year.

Good to know you remembered that as i worked on that set. (It pays when you have a canadian passport) The blonde chick was miscast and we were in awe of Sam Neill.

Can bodies in the open air be skeletonized in that short of a time?

The set from Lost was on Oahu. I remember driving past it one day years ago thinking “was there a plane crash here or what?”

In the Phillipine jungle? I’m guessing it could - lots of bugs and critters down there.

Yes, in a humid jungle environment. In cold, dry, mountains they would be mummies.

Maggots. They work quick.

I have observed them so thick you could hear them working and turning from 30 feet away. But the stench went much further than that.

I have been a Sam Neill fan from the time he did “Reil Ace of Spies.”

Did a google search on “how long will a carcass last in the jungle”. No good answers, and I hope the FBI doesn’t knock on my door!

I did forget to check a mouse trap I had outside. The bugs were well on their way to devouring it after only a week here in the mild Pacific NW.

There’s a lot of evidence the plane went in the opposite direction. This can’t be MH370, but if it is how did it get THERE?
