The debris spotted by a Singapore search team about 100km south-southwest of Vietnam's Tho Chu island, was not from the missing Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370, said the Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) director-general Datuk Azharuddin Abdul Rahman.

Agreed. Additionally WSJ has this ---

Big jets also carry sturdy emergency transmitters to identify an aircraft's location in the event of a mishap, so rescue teams can quickly reach the site. These devices, designed to be activated by impact on land or water, haven't sent any signals that were picked up by searchers, Malaysian aviation regulators said over the weekend. "Never have I seen an aircraft losing control and losing all communication" simultaneously, said Mark Martin of aviation consultancy Martin Consulting.

So for now, I am staying with hijacking..

It took five days to find surface debris and two years to find the wreckage.
