1) Why don’t the planes making the rounds in the search lower baskets (or something like that) and retrieve the stuff that they’ve seen rather than wait for a ship to get to the area to find it?

2) Could these items have been planted by someone with sinister motives so that authorities don’t look elsewhere?

3) I saw last Friday night on Wolf Blitzer’s 6pm show a clock counting down the days until the black box’s ping stops pinging. I believe it said (On Fri. night) that there were 16 days left, plus hour, minutes & seconds. Hoping to catch a glimpse again when CNN puts it back on so that I can take a photo of it!!

That is all....

Impossible. Going too fast to operated like that.
