There is more and more evidence that the plane broke up in mid-air, but they don't know why it did that though. It's really horrible. You are right though, closure is so important. It would have been much harder on the families if those people just disappeared without a trace. Denial would have just dragged the pain on so much longer.

I really hope they find that black box so they can find out what happened. Time is running out though, it's gonna stop sending out a signal after 30 days.

they';re saying stuff on the news about the air speed monitors. essentially, the idea is that maybe some air speed monitors were malfunctioning and sent incorrect data to some flight computers and then stuff went haywire.
...not sure, though...

until they find the black box it's all just speculation, isn't it?

Looks like majority of the members haven't heard about its possible link with terrorism. CIA or some other intelligence agency has analyzed the list of passengers onboard the aircraft and they have founded that couple of passengers might be having suspicious role in the accident.

Let's see what comes next.

Has there been anymore on this lately? I know about them recovering bodies etc, but havent heard if they have found the black box yet.

It's unlikely they will find the black boxes. They give off a pinging signal that can be picked up by sonar radar. The problem is, that pinging only lasts for a month. There is no way they are going to find a small black box in that depth of water with strong ocean currents likely moving it.

Hopefully the black box washes up on shore someday and we can find out the real reason for the crash..

I am surprised by this incidence. Since many years I've believed that technology has developed so much that no one can hide from it but after this incidence I think we are still much far from what I believed.
