Yeah, it's narrowed the search area down to "the sea", which is an improvement admittedly, but not a massive one.

A lot of the families believe the plane hasn't crashed from the below link. Kind of crazy personally I would think I would have accepted the plane had crashed but just didn't know the exact final events

I can understand holding on to hope for the love ones but seems a lot of them might be believing the CT stuff as fact.
I hope that most of the families have been able to move forward now. Of course some wont until the plane and blackbox are found.

Well, if the families believe the passengers are still alive somehow, they can take solace in the thought that according to sources, life under the sea is better....

A 30% reduction in search area is nothing to be sniffed at!

My €0.02 is on one of the crew pulling a "German Wings".
The currents have a counter clockwise rotation with various feed-ins, but we don't know how long the debris have been in motion. While silly as an example in theory it could have gone down just off the island and only broken loose a few weeks ago.
The current satellite data was narrowed down based on a number of factors with some modification due to it being unlikely to be in certain places due to being almost impossible to have not been picked up on other systems in those areas but some factors like it should have come into range of other satellites if it had been elsewhere has since been shown to be potentially explainable if it was hypothetically the case. (They had to do a lot of work with the data to make sense of it - its not as rigidly tied to the distance as the arcs indicate - that is the best fit for the data available and while in all probability right doesn't conclusively rule out other possibilities).
From the way it "went dark" and then made a series of (apparently deliberate) manoeuvres it would be probably the most likely explanation, followed by a state sponsored act, technical fault and lastly terrorism.

really? I'd say that's the very last thing behind all the others by such a huge margin its laughable.

Also, they are examining the organisms found in / on the wreckage as that area has some warm water and cold water areas, so apparently, the organisms on it can help to narrow the search area down too. I heard that on radio 2 yesterday.
The system failures and/or manner that must have happened are non-trivial to make happen and unlikely to happen by accident without alarms/logging of a cascade failure which would tend to indicate that it was the work of either an employee or someone with not insignificant resources behind them - not your run of the mill terrorist or hijacker.
Not to mention the amount it seems to have avoided detection by routine radar, etc. for several hours (before it was in remote parts) which again tends to rule out accident or general run of the mill terrorism/hijacking.
EDIT: But then why would someone who was going to commit suicide like that bother to go off the radar.

the complete lack of gain for any state kinda rules them out...
Not that i care, but it could easily be a simple message to do a number a things, there's a lot of corruption in that part of the world as well. (kinda useless though, much easier and less collateral things a state can do)
Could also be corporate, simply removing business.
But as i said, i do not care.
Its way too wide a subject to make a statement that conclusive. No end of potential security, diplomatic or commercial reasons and I doubt making the assumption it was something like that the intention was the loss of the plane and the lives of those onboard.

I'm not saying anything as narrowly specific - I highly doubt however if there was a plan of some kind in play that the intention was bringing down the plane - which was more likely the plan if such existed going wrong. Its not impossible however if for instance there was a group on the plane that someone wanted eliminating.

Yeah, like this:

Oh no, wait, that can't be right......that's only something tinfoil hat wearers would come up with

That's my theory out the window, its not on the dark side of the moon.

why all the elaborate crap? wh not just nose dive it into the ground?
after all they've already got a suicidal murderer and qualified pilot spare....
