Hoping they have found something. At least some closure for the relatives.

I suspect this is a real development. If so, protocol would be to let Malaysia know before public announcement. Any word on a press conference in KL?

If it has been found, I suspect help from various undisclosed sources. There is an obvious need to keep details and capabilities undisclosed. But there is also a need for governments to send a message that "you will not be able to get away with that" - in order to help protect people in the future. So there is a need to find a balance between these at times conflicting needs.

Boeing would have wanted this found for obvious reasons. And Boeing is a significant player for both government and defence.
