Wow

I want that luggage - it survived huge impact forces, floated around an ocean for a year and a half, in saltwater, and the zippers shine brightly, the contents look fine - lets all buy this piece of super luggage!!!

Maked Samsonite look horribel - elephants and all! I have no luggage that looks that good sitting in the closet its insulting....

Obserd IMO

Are you looking at the same piece of luggage as me? I don't see shiny zips or "fine" contents here:

CNN)A preliminary assessment by U.S. intelligence agencies, produced in the wake of the MH370 disaster, suggested it was likely someone in the cockpit deliberately caused the aircraft's movements before the Malaysian airliner disappeared.

LOL That looks like a garment bag, as in, dresses, suits, and it looks like there is stuff in the bottom of it. Hope so. JMO

Taken from PPRUNE:

"Joseph Poupin, marine expert in Reunion, told the Journal de l'Ile de la Reunion that the barnacles attached to the mysterious debris appear to be around one year old - which corresponds with the date of the MH370 crash. He told the newspaper that the barnacles belonged to a species called Lepas Anatifera, which grow at a rate of around one to two centimetres per year."

Doesnt the airlines requier name tags to be securely fastened to luggage?

I know it could be ripped off by now though but maybe a luggage sticker or parts of one is still attached or label of manufacturer of luggage.

I bet they will be able to identify which passenger owned it.

Its time to scour that island for more debri and the surrounding areas around the island. There could be other huge parts that are just offshore and havent washed further yet.


ETA. Oh meant to say the green thing to the left I think is the guys jacket and he didnt remove it before he took the photo.

I dont think that green material is part of the luggage.

Just like his blue lunchbox is on other side.

Its amazing that some people can't accept that they were wrong...
No reason to concede until all the facts are in. If the time comes where the evidence leaves my theory behind, I will be glad to accept I was wrong and properly eat crow. However, my theory is still in play. ;)

Does anyone know if any of the victims families have sued the Malaysia Airline?
A lawyer was on CNN earlier and he has 43 lawsuits pending against Malaysia Airlines from families.

I agree.

Most all theories are still in play until much more is known.

I'm wondering if that is even a suitcase, could it be some type of flotation device? The zippers will be helpful in determining what it is.

The white zippers are going to narrow it down. I hope that families are looking and thinking about the luggage their loved one may have used.

The plane simply did not have enough fuel for that theory to be in play.

IIRC, the plane had enough fuel.
It ran out of fuel shortly after the Maldives sighting, and that is why the debris is being found where it is. It's also why it was discussed that the plane could have crashed off the coast of Australia. It had enough fuel to make it that far as well.
In the earlier threads on this, fuel was discussed intensively, and it was determined there was enough fuel for the plane to have flown for 6-7 hours.
The flight to Beijing was just over 6 hours. Fuel reserves can hold another 1-2 hours of fuel. Using this, we were able to determine that plane could have been 6-8 hours away in any direction-including Maldives. In fact flying time from KL to Male, Maldives is 4 1/2 hours. So there was enough fuel in the plane to have gotten that far.

Unless my research is wrong, the distance from
Kuala Lumpur to the Maldives is shorter than it is to
Perth. So I'm not understanding how it wouldn't be possible. Please correct me/ explain to me if I am wrong.

Exactly.
Flying time to the Maldives is 4 1/2 hours.
Flying time to Beijing is just over 6 hours.
So if there was enough fuel to fly to China, there was definitely enough fuel to fly near Maldives.

JMO.

There are numerous problems with the Maldives theory. Even the Maldives Civil Aviation Authority has dismissed the idea that MH370 ever passed by them, the witnesses saw a different plane.

There are so many pages and pages to go through, so would someone kindly fill me in on the "Maldives theory"? I just need a brief description! Thank you in advance!

COMPOSITION: Aluminum: majority of structure including a lightweight 7055 alloy used on the upper wing skin and stringers
Composites account for 9% of structural weight, including

Carbon fiber & carbon fiber reinforced plastic: used on portions of the tail including the tailfin and elevators, wing trailing edge control surfaces, engine nacelles, landing gear doors

Hybrid composites: floor beams, flap track fairings, and wing/fuselage junction fairings

Glass fiber: nose radome, engine pylon parts, portions of the wings and tail

I worked on F/A-18s in the Marine Corps for 5 years, and I seem to remember all of those materials being fairly lightweight. Obviously aluminum.

Do you think 4 or5 people could walk with it without struggle?
