The Missing Airplane

I could not believe it when I read that the wreckage they found in the Atlantic Ocean was not that of the missing Airplane. In one way this is good, because it gives us some shred of hope that the plane can be found. I mean nobody wants a hijack situation, but if the choice is between a crash and a hijack I would pick a hijack. At least with a hostage negotiation there would be a chance at getting people back alive.

The fact that this wreckage is not that of the missing plane just raises more questions. We still do not know where the plane is, and I am not sure if they know what the wreckage they found is either. Is it normal to find stuff just randomly burning in the middle of the ocean?

I still find it hard to believe that in this day and age, they can not make a black box or beacon of some sort that can survive a blast. I hope they find it soon so we can figure out what happened, and give some answers to the families and loved ones of the passengers on this flight.
