I always wonder that about really stupid people as well. I think the irony is that the truly stupid actually believe they are smart, and the truly smart are constantly concerned theyre not smart enough.

Stupid people actually think they're smart. I know this girl that is really really dumb but she's constantly posting really awful things on facebook and linking to random dumb things like 'oooooh this makes you think!' It doesn't help that people constantly like her posts and then engage her in comments about it.

Malaysia’s Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said he had been informed of the sightings and expressed hope they would prove to have been from the plane.

“As I’ve been doing from day one, I’ve followed every single lead,” he told reporters, according to the Associated Press. “And this time, I just hope it is positive.”

"I hope everybody on board the plane is dead"

I'm hoping they are all alive somewhere.

I guess the assumption is we're looking at the wings? Do these normally float?

Man those basically look like nothing to me. I assume the guys doing the analysis know what they're doing though.

I wonder if the crowdsourcing effort that Digitalglobe launched led to this discovery

Probably been asked already,

But how many minutes does a black box record for before overwriting?

2 hours, the flight data recorded is over 20 hours though

Surface debris may have moved up to 620 miles over 13 days – the length of time since the Malaysia Airlines jet went missing - making it hard for authorities to pinpoint the location of the plane even if the objects are proven to be connected to the investigation, Professor Jason Middleton of the University of New South Wales in Australia told Sky News.

That's ****ed up, doesn't sound quite right to me intuitively, but OK, intuitions are often wrong. I'd be shocked if the debris has moved literally hundreds of miles.

The objects are indistinct but of "reasonable size" -- the largest about 24 meters long (79 feet), said John Young, general manager of emergency response for the Australian Maritime Safety Authority. They were "probably awash with water and bobbing up and down," he said.

"If that piece of the plane is that big, maybe it's the tail section" said David Gallo, who co-led the search for Air France Flight 447, which crashed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2009. But he warned that the size gave him a degree of concern.

"It's a big piece of aircraft to have survived something like this," he said.

The tail height of a Boeing 777, the model of the missing Malaysian plane, is 60 feet.

I guess this is super premature, but I mean what is the internet good for if not completely irresponsible speculation.

So, on with the completely irresponsible speculation: assuming the plane like nose-dived and hit the water at a high speed, doesn't the thing explode into a bunch of smaller parts and ****?

So I think what's being communicated here is that the descent would have to have been pretty controlled to get a big ass piece of the plane still in tact.

if that's really the plane then it's a testament to technology that it was found in the middle of the indian ocean within 7 days of crashing after a crew member intentionally shut off all the tracking mechanisms he could.
