Aerial search after all this time would see nothing, island is covered by jungle, I doubt someone flying over would see anything. Asking the locals about a plane crashing on the island is not likely to lead to anything either. They would have all noticed a B777 or anything else crashing on their tiny island and reported it long before now. The report was made in Malaysia, the island is in the Philippines, they cannot just rush over and inspect inspect it, have to go through channels.

It could be a military plane lost during the war, or hopefully Tiger 739. If it proves to be real, at least someone, some where is finally going to know what happened to their loved ones, and it will be one more lost plane found. But we could do without the media assuming every bit of plane wreckage seen is MH370.
