Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 is Missing

Perhaps because of the ocean current rotation makes the search area too wide? It's like stop what they're doing right now and go into another large search area and restart from zero. All we can hope for is luck with either more debris showing up somewhere or they actually find the main crash site.
Don't go looking for your car keys under a street lamp a hundred feet away because searching there is so much easier.

Heard the news thru my local radio station and sounded interesting so went onto the net to look for more info and got this source:

Suspected MH370 wreckage found in Mindanao
MALAYSIA– Sabah police received reports claiming that a suspected aircraft wreckage of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was found in Tawi Tawi, Mindanao.

The Straits Times reported that the wreckage, bearing the flag of Malaysia, still had human remains inside. It was spotted on Tawi Tawi, at Ubian Island in southern Phillippines.

It was added that the man who reported the wreckage explained that his nephew, along with a few others, found the wreckage while they were hunting for birds on the island.

They went near the said wreckage and found human bones and skeletal remains at the pilot’s chair, adding that the seat belt was still fastened.

Before leaving, the group took the flag they found in the wreckage.

The report explained that the man had informed the police as the wreckage could be of the mysterious Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

It was also said that Police in the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM) were puzzled over claims of the discovery since there had been no reports of any plane crash within the area.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 had disappeared March 2014. It had 239 passengers and crew on board.

The unsolved mystery had triggered one of the largest aircraft search in the Southern Indian Ocean.

Since the incident, the most notable progress was when French authorities found a piece of the plane’s wing on the shore of Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean.

I hope the report above is true since after so long of an search and turned out nothing, I've always wondered what if the plane could still be in the South China sea after all this time missing? Interesting...

Strange! Aren't the Philippines located in the Pacific ocean? What current on earth could bring a wreckage from Southern Indian ocean to the Pacific? I would believe it if they could show some hard evidence.

I'm not sure how true this story is.
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.

“There was a skeleton still in the pilot’s seat. The pilot had his safety belt on and the communication gear attached to his head and ears,” Omar told local police,

.

The youth and pals found “many skeletons” in the fuselage, Omar said, some still wearing seatbelts, and more human bones nearby.

The teen also allegedly swiped a piece of fabric to use as a blanket, only to discover later it was a Malaysian flag.

“I have told the [Department of Civil Aviation] to look into the report. We don’t know if the report is true, so we need to verify it first … Let’s not speculate and give space to the DCA to conduct its investigation,” Malaysian Transport Minister Liow Tiong Lai told local media.

The claim comes five weeks after

was indeed from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane.

The Beijing-bound Boeing 777 was carrying 239 passengers and crew members when it vanished into thin air an hour after departing from Kuala Lumpur on March 8 last year.

Let's put it in context geographically:

Here's a map of where the confirmed wreckage was found on Reunion Island, and where they say this new wreckage on Tawi-tawi was found.

No way is this newly found wreckage from MH370...that is if the wreckage on Reunion island is indeed confirmed. More likely the stuff on Tawi-tawi is from some World War II or other crash.

True but that debris found on Reunion had been floating around the ocean for over a year when parts of the plane broke off from mid air and landed on the ocean. Who knows, we just have to wait and see.

Yes...but given the ocean currents, I see no way that large pieces of the aerilons could end up on Reunion Island, while the entire cockpit went to Tawi-tawi.

Just not credible at all IMHO.

In another forum I posted this today about MH370 after a news story from the Philippines claimed pieces of wreckage and skeletal remains were found.

Philippine authorities insisted on Tuesday a Malaysian Airlines jet that went missing last year had not crashed onto a remote Filipino island, after a man's claims that wreckage had been found there made headlines. The latest reports appeared to be yet another false lead based on no evidence. While a wing part from the jet was found washed up on a beach in the Indian Ocean in July, the rest of the plane has yet to be found.

Malaysian media reported at the weekend that a Filipino man told Malaysian police that his relatives had found wreckage of a plane, with skeletons inside, in the jungles of the Philippines' remote Tawi-Tawi island chain. Philippine authorities said on Tuesday that no plane wreckage had been found, and questioned the credibility of the apparent police witness. "I sent people to the site where it (the plane wreck) was supposedly seen and the results were negative," the deputy police director of Tawi-Tawi, Superintendent Glenn Roy Gabor, told AFP by phone. "There was someone who was spreading that story but it has no truth to it and the person spreading it has disappeared."
