Aussie, just a thought out loud;

- What are the serious chances of a piece of wreckage being found that contains human skeleton(s)? For a land crash at stall speed, perhaps yes. But a 777 into the ocean, especially if at high speed, surely not?

- As above, the impact forces would have ejected the bodies and most would be fragmented. None would be strapped in to seats still, no chance.

- Then again if the aircraft stalled and it was a flat spin into the ocean then perhaps some bodies would remain intact and be strapped into their seats or found inside some broken fueselage, but still it is unlikely as the forces would still be immense and those seatbelts would've all snapped instantly on impact with many passengers ejected.

- Now if MH370 did an Ethiopian FL961 then maybe passengers would be found strapped to their seats still, true. But even if MH370 just ran out of fuel and tried a water ditching I just don't see this happenning in the dark, dead of night, where sea meets horizon. With the amount of alarms going off, the criticality of the situation, loss of situational awareness and instruments spitting out all sorts of spurious and frightening data I do not believe that in the dark this aircraft made a 'sea landing'.

With regards to the latest finding my money is on the remains belonging to a different air crash, one that has crashed on land not into the sea. But hell, what would I know, surely the font of investigative capability, Martin 'Beaker' Dolan would have this covered?
