BBC news said that they spotted what looks like a door

[malaise]

from the aircraft. Here comes the really bad news that was expected.

[AngryAmish]

1. where?

[Tsiyu]

2. Here's a pic, but I think this was hours ago and some debunked already

Edit: Found 50 Miles south of Tho Chu island, in the same area where oil slicks were spotted on Saturday.
Edit Two: SOME have debunked it, others say it may be plane part. Sorry for the first subject line





unless they found another new door?

I hope they find the plane soon, though.

It's a really sad situation for everyone who had a loved one on that flight.

3. Ugh. I hope the figure out what went wrong.

I doubt it's terrorism. Someone would have bragged about being responsible if it was.

If it was a fault with the aircraft, I hope they figure out what went wrong so this doesn't happen again.

11. Terrorists do

not always brag, that is a common misnomer. Especially if they aren't finished yet.

4. Why no distress call?

If the plane crashed why was there not a distress call? This whole thing is weird to the Nth...

[anneboleyn]

6. Because there was apparently a catastrophic, instantaneous break-up of the plane as in

(this is just what I am starting to suspect) a bomb. There was no time for a distress call or even the plane's computer systems to send a message that some type of mechanical failure had occurred.

[anneboleyn]

5. I know we don't know yet -- but this is looking more and more like a terrorist incident.

I know there are some other things that can happen to cause a nearly instantaneous break-up of the plane but from the experts it sounds very unlikely and very rare. Unfortunately this is starting to sound like a deliberate act.

[Skittles]

14. wouldn't someone take credit for it?

isn't that the point of terrorism - to terrorize?

[pscot]

15. There is zero evidence of terrorism

at this time. The plane was damaged in a ground collision in 2012. Any flaw in the repair could have led to catastrophic failure. You're hyperventilating.

[magical thyme]

7. at least 2 and as many as 4 people on board with stolen passports +

immediate, catastrophic breakup of plane most likely = terrorism.

I'd also read in a couple places the plane may have turned around before disappearing. Hijacking turned nosedive?

[Texasgal]

8. The news seems so slow

UGH! Maddening! I hope they locate soon.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

9. IIRC, it took 3 or 4 days to find Air France 447. And a couple years to find the data recorders.

[Texasgal]

10. Yes. I realize that now.

I just wish we could get quicker answers. I know it may not be possible.

12. Meant to add link before

Here's one from Singapore:

http://www.straitstimes.com/breaking-news/se-asia/story/missing-malaysia-airlines-plane-debris-found-near-vietnams-tu-chao-islan

Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation director-general Azharuddin Abdul Rahman said on Sunday night that the debris found near Vietnam's Tu Chao island was not from the missing plane.

Oil spills have been found but it has not been confirmed if they came from the plane. There are now 24 aircraft and 40 ships in a massive multi-national search operation. The air search was stopped at 7pm but the ships will continue searching through the night.

"We are not ruling out any possibility," Mr Azharuddin said, with reference to potential hijacking after two passengers boarded the MH370 flight with passports stolen from an Italian and an Austrian whose names appeared on the manifest.

Asked about claims that a Chinese group has claimed responsibility for the missing plane, he said China has not informed Malaysia about it.

13. If it were a terrorist attack,

wouldn't the group that executed it be taking credit for by now?
