MH370: Debris NOT found

09/03/2014 by Kevincm

EDIT: It seems according to BBC News that the debrise and oil slick are not related to flight MH370 stating:

None of the debris and oil slicks spotted in the water so far have proven to be linked to the disappearance.

It seems the mystery of flight MH370 it seems the search teams have begun to find something in their search.

Vietnamese officials seemingly have located fragments of the plane – believed to be an inner door  and a piece of the tail.

The picture released via Infonet.vn – http://infonet.vn/can-canh-manh-vo-nghi-op-cua-so-may-bay-malaysia-tren-bien-post121635.info shows the an inner door:

They were located some 80km south-southwest of Tho Chu island.

A photograph of one fragment floating in the water was released: http://infonet.vn/can-canh-manh-vo-nghi-op-cua-so-may-bay-malaysia-tren-bien-post121635.info

However, AVHearld http://avherald.com/h?article=4710c69b&opt=0 states:

The oil slicks as well as debris found so far are not related to the aircraft. Rumours like other crew establishing contact to the accident flight after radar contact was lost, phone contact to a mobile phone of one the passengers of the missing flight or the aircraft having landed in China or Vietnam, are false.

Reuters are  reporting that this could be a mid-air disintegration of the plane.

Malayisa airlines stated earlier:

Statement by MAS GCEO, Ahmad Jauhari Yahya

Together with all those affected by the MH370 incident, we understand the need to provide regular updates on the progress of the search and rescue operations.  As the hours turn into days, we at Malaysia Airlines are similarly anxious and we appreciate the patience, support and prayers from everyone. 

We however acknowledge that the most affected group in this incident is the families of those on-board. As such, our primary focus at this point in time is to care for the families. This means providing them with timely information, travel facilities, accommodation, meals and emotional support. Initial financial assistance has been given out to all families. Caregivers are already assigned to each family and they are trained staff and volunteers from Malaysia and Australia.

Family members of the MH370 passengers from Beijing who wish to travel will be flown in stages to Kuala Lumpur on the available flights. We are also communicating with the families from other nations to similarly arrange for their travel to Kuala Lumpur. 

In the event flight MH370 is located, a Response Control Centre (RCC) in the area will be activated to support the needs of families.

The airline continues to work with the authorities and we appreciate the help we are receiving from all parties during this critical and difficult time.

Hopefully with the first part found, more of the plane can be found.

STORY CONTINUING TO DEVELOP.

      I’m honestly not sure. They need to be near them to find them… and they could be looking in the wrong place.

      There’s more to come from this story sadly.
