Just heard the Australian ship fitted with the ping locater has confirmed they have located a ping
(Reuters) - An Australian ship searching for a missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner has picked up signals consistent with the beacons from aircraft black box recorders, in what search officials said on Monday was the most promising lead yet in the month-long hunt.
The U.S. Navy "towed pinger locator" connected to the Australian ship Ocean Shield picked up the signals in an area some 1,680 km (1,040 miles) northwest of Perth, which analysis of sporadic satellite data has determined as the most likely place Boeing 777 went down.
"I'm much more optimistic than I was a week ago," Angus Houston, head of the Australian agency coordinating the search, told a news conference in Perth, while cautioning that wreckage still needed to be found.
"We are now in a very well defined search area, which hopefully will eventually yield the information that we need to say that MH370 might have entered the water just here."
If the signals can be narrowed further, an autonomous underwater vehicle called a Bluefin 21, will be sent to attempt to locate wreckage on the sea floor to verify the signals, said Houston, who noted that the potential search area was 4.5 kms (2.8 miles) deep, the same as the Bluefin range.

So where the heck is the wreckage found by satellite in the first place??
A lot of that "wreckage" just turned out to be garbage. One scenario is if the plane dove into the water at a steep angle, it would not breakup dramatically and leave little trace.
The conspiracy therapist say in might be at Diego Garcia a secret US base. No one has said who the people where on the plane where they scientist from China on vacation. It seems funny that the US can check the terrorist any where in the world but a large airplane goes un noticed
