(43,252 posts)Yesterday's headline said it didn't belong to MH370, now it does.
First they shot Jericho, then next day they didn't.
Double messages are confusing. In a relationship or a political campaign
they're about abuse and control.
In these instances I haven't a clue what to make of them.

Currents change, it could have come from anywhere over thousands of square miles

(55,445 posts)that the Malaysian government let everyone waste the first week by searching an area they *knew* the aircraft wouldn't be located...
I still believe it will be found sooner or later...Might take years, but technology gets better all the time...

Let's hope that more parts will be found and, perhaps, some explanation of what happened.
Sad for the families, to be reminded of the pain and heartache.
