Doesn't the 772 have all full size doors, and no overwing exits?
Also the size and position of the window doesn't look correct for a door.

You are correct... looking at the doors on the 200 the window on the door has a different posistion to the one in the possible debrie photo.

I just dont get there is only a tiny piece and nothing more, you would think there would be more debris.

Some media outlets are reporting a piece of the tail has been found but no photos

Default Nose first plunge?

There are some configurations of ocean impact that leave the fuselage relatively intact ...

Malaysian authorities are saying the debris is not from the missing plane but will be fished out for proper id.

Read the caption below the debris photo at the following link.

Exclamation Foul play looming as real possibility

These facts about two supposedly unrelated travellers cannot just be serendipitously connected with the disappearance of flight MH370:

Quote:
Flight booking information shows the passengers bought the tickets together at a travel agency in Pattaya, a seaside city outside Bangkok that is a known haunt of international criminal networks.
They booked the flight to Beijing where they would not have had to clear customs before taking another flight from Beijing to Amsterdam.
One, travelling under Maraldi’s name, was due to proceed to Copenhagen and the other to Frankfurt, Germany.

Tickets bought by two passengers using false passports in the names of Christian Kozel and Luigi Maraldi. Photo: Supplied

The men paid for the fares in Thai baht.

ABC24 just showed the live media conference from Malaysian authorities and they have said all reports of debries are false and as of now

NO PART OF THE AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN FOUND AND THE AIRCRAFT REMAINS MISSING

sounds like a silly question, but what if the transponder was shut off in the cockpit , is it possible the aircraft would have been forced to land in another country ie Russia or somewhere remote , surely if it crashed into the ocean , another plane or boat would have reported seeing a fire , surely some debris would have floated to the surface by now ,
did the aircraft disappear from Radar ?? would it still show up on Radar if the transponder was turned off ??
