If true, this will be heart braking for the families of the passengers.
But at least the search area will be narrowed down, for the so-called black boxes. - Tom

google translated article
"In a later communication he had with the iefimerda second officer, Dimitris Karagiannis, not confirmed these indications.

In particular Mr Karagiannis said that the ship passed through the Strait of Malacca, however, there was nothing on the surface or objects or a trace or debris from Boeing.

What is even reported that the situation in the region resembles a typical day at sea, with neither boats and rescue teams to conduct investigations nor helicopters. Generally nothing that resembles the surrounding area carried out extensive research to find the disappeared for ten days.

I’m beginning to suspect that the Malaysian government either intentionally or accidentally shot it down.

The Reddit user that posted the possible wreckage did so 2 days ago (per links from Daglas timeline). If ship is being sent now, 2 days, or more, after spotted, will wreckage still be there? And why did it take 2 days to get somebody to look at it? I’d like to be hopeful they found it, but I’m not.

Luggage found floating at sea, possibly from Flight 370, by Elka Athina

Crew on a Greek flagged oil tanker are responding to radio reports of suit cases found floating in the Straits of Malacca, between Malaysia and Indonesia, Greek media reported.

The Oil and chemical tanker, the Elka Athina, reported to media that it was steaming toward a zone identified as a field of debris, including what appeared to be aircraft passenger's luggage.

The crew was responding to a report from an Indonesian source, according to the translation of the report.

That's according to two articles published Sunday afternoon Greek time.

The report was not confirmed by any other sources, however one Greek website posted an audio interview with the Elka Athina’s first officer confirming the ship was headed to an area after the report of suit cases floating in the northern waters of the Malacca Strait.

There have been several false sightings of debris since Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 went missing over a week ago, including a Chinese satellite image of debris in the south China Sea and reports of an oil slick off Vietnam. All proved to be unrelated to the missing 777-200.

Update: It appears a Reddit user found images of possible wreckage at the exact location of the Greek report in the Malacca Strait. An image of a debris field was seen on high resolution satellite images provided by a US firm in an attempt to find the missing 777-200.

The area is also about the same point where Malaysia last lost verifiable data on the location of MH370 on Saturday, March 8 2014.

More to come.

Question is: By who?

Did the Malaysian government accidentally shoot it down the unidentified jet before realizing flight 370 was missing? It may explain their sending everyone on a wild goose chase.

IF it did go down in the sea intact it would take some time for items to surface depending on what openings were in the fuselage. I doubt any evidence would be present depending on the depth of the waters in that location until items could reach flotation and surface.
