What happened to Flight MH370? – interactive

  It crashed in the southern Indian ocean. The media circus around this has been very undignified. I hope they are able to find the black box to end the speculation and give the families some closure.

    They'll have to find some debris first. So far none of the satellite sightings have resulted in recovery of anything conclusively connected to the aircraft. If they do find debris they can then check the ocean current data for the time since the crash to extrapolate a rough area where the flight data recorder might be. Even then, it could take a very, very long time. Air France 447's FDR wasn't found for two years, and they knew where it had crashed within less than a day.

  Am I the only one who thinks "interactive" oversells this a little? It's essentially a slideshow with a little animation. Most "interactives" have various ways to look at the data. Or am I wrong?
