The fact that they are unable to find any debris so far appears to indicate that the aircraft is likely to have disintegrated at around 35,000 feet. As had the plane had plunged intact from close to its cruising altitude, breaking up only on impact with the water, search teams would have expected to find a fairly concentrated pattern of debris.

The possibility of an explosion, such as a bomb is possible but so far there is no evidence of foul play and that the aircraft could have broken up due to mechanical causes.

I find it hard to believe that any passenger was able to board an international flight using a stolen passport listed in Interpol's database.

HMS Echo and Nuclear Sub HMS Tireless now join the search for the flight MH370 black box -

Can't believe it's still not yet located,

So far 8 countries involved in the search, And along with the above 2 uk vessels are -

Australian naval support ship Ocean Shield with ping locator, this ship also carries the Bluefin 21 robotic sub.

Australia's HMAS Success

A US Navy P-8 Poseidon

Australian, New Zealand, South Korean and Japanese P-3 Orion maritime surveillance planes

Two Chinese Ilyushin Il-76s and Xue Long research ship

Two Malaysian C-130 Hercules

Surely this lot should find it!

Seems that the flight recorder battery has now died, and are now reliant on the ground breaking radar of the bluefin 21 to find what remains.

5 weeks and no real news, you can only but feel for the families..
