Ideal weather conditions gave one Australian aircraft crew the opportunity to detect many objects in the water west of Perth.

It spotted four orange items of interest, took photos and sent the coordinates, but Flight Lt. Russell Adams said the crew couldn't determine whether the objects were from the airliner, which officials believe went down in the southern Indian Ocean.

1. There is an almost infinite supply of floating garbage in the oceans of the world

The pieces are at the bottom of a very deep ocean.

I'm worn out by this.

7. A friend of mine pondered:

One thing I hadn't considered, was that submerged cell phone data can be recovered, so passengers cell phones can possibly provide data where the CVR on its 2 hr loop may not.
