I think that they are "awash" means they are partially submerged; ie, they are heavy objects, not styrofoam etc.
Wings are made out of a very light material. At least part of them are as have people in the business. Material is light like a feather.

Huh? I missed that, what was the theory from our "expert" pilot.![]()
Hey they mentioned ditching --- the debris field is usually a lot smaller if the plane impacts in that manner as oppossed to a dive or high speed stall
Just a thought but this will absolutely bankrupt this airline.
No one will ever step on a plane by them again.
They have submarines dont they?
Minga, y'all are hot, we get it , with a sexy accent... find a map- metric and I do not get along :floorlaugh:
Oops- I forgot you already knew my metric system fail- you posted it while I was typing! Thank you !
I have flown Malaysia airlines several times and been very satisfied, they're a good airline as far as service is concerned - I might consider them again for Paris-Kuala Lumpur-Auckland trips
That AMSA press conference has now wrapped up. Here's a few of the key points to emerge.
Commercial satellites have captured images of several large objects in the ocean off Western Australia.
The images were analysed this morning and thought to be credible enough to warrant a full-scale search by aircraft and ships for the objects in the belief they may be debris from missing flight MH370.
The objects are around 2500km south-west of Perth.
The largest of the objects is up to 24 metres long.
One RAAF aircraft is already at the location. A further three aircraft have been sent to the area, including a New Zealand Air Force Orion and a US Navy P8 Poseidon aircraft.
It is not unusual to see debris floating in the ocean. Containers are sometimes adrift after falling overboard, for instance.
There is no guarantee the objects are from the missing flight, but this is the best lead search authorities have had so far.
It is not known when the objects will be physically located.

What is ditching? I didn't understand that part.
If we had GPS coordianates maybe even GOOGLE EARTH would let us see it if recent satellite images from Google.
[/QUOTE]No, if it is a "ditching" ............. that means someone was in control until the last second
And the size they are talking about does seem more like a ditch:
check out the wreckage after everyi thing stop size like they are talking about

UOTE=lawstudent;10356982]If it hit the water wouldn't it be smashed to bits?
As for what else it could be - they suggested cargo that fell off a ship - I just thought it was weird they're already giving alternative explanations. I don't think it's sinister, but I don't get it.
A military submarine generally only goes down a few hundred meters believe it or not...
