Families of those on board missing flight MH370 have issued a statement appealing to be kept better informed about the search and investigation. Under the banner 'Voice 370' the families of the 239 people on board the Malaysia Airlines jet expressed their "crushing anguish." "Seven months have passed since MH370 disappeared;yet we know little more than we did in those terrible days following the disappearance," the statement issued by the group says. "For the families,the nightmare continues." It went on to say the families appreciated the challenges faced by investigators and they understood the answers would not come easily. "However we are increasingly frustrated with the lack of information provided to us," the statement says. One of the concerns was the failure of Malaysia Airlines to provide a complete cargo manifest from MH370,which "may list items that posed a threat to the safety of the aircraft."
Why would the airline be withholding this cargo manifest? And it seems the flow of information to the families has been handled very poorly,but it also seems there is not a great deal to tell them. After seven months are we any closer to finding MH370?

Finding the aircraft will be easier than finding the Truth.

Debris Watch On MH370
An alert has been issued in Indonesia for residents to be on the lookout for debris from MH370 as the underwater search in the southern Indian ocean resumes more than 3500km away. The latest update from ATSB said search vessel 'Fugro Discovery' arrived at its destination yesterday and would begin sonar scans immediately. To date,1200km of the seabed has been searched but no trace of the Boeing 777 has been found. It is now more than 7 months since the aircraft disappeared with 239 people on board. The bureau update notes that it "continues to receive messages from of the public who have found material washed up on the Australian coastline that they think may be wreckage or debris from MH370" "The ATSB reviews all of this correspondence carefully. "It is possible that some materials may have drifted to the coastline of Indonesia and an alert has been issued in that country requesting that the authorities be alerted to any possible debris from the aircraft."

Irrespective of where it has crashed, I am surprised no debris has been found either at sea or washed up somewhere. There would have been plenty of material that will float until it is washed ashore - is there a big at sea garbage dump in the Indian Ocean like there is in the NE Pacific where floating plastic goes to live forever.

Well we still don't know if the a/c broke up.
If it didn't and sank very little debris will be found anywhere.
I can't recall early reports . Has ANY positively identified debris been found?

Interesting that it now seems:
1. The aircraft was carrying a bunch of flammable battery packs (which many airlines refuse to carry).
2. The battery for the underwater locator beacon is now known to have been flat / faulty / non-operational.
3. They don't believe there was anything in the pilot's behaviour indicative of suicidal type actions.
This just keeps getting more interesting.
