Maybe we can all laugh about this some day.

If Fox News sends Geraldo out there to look for the debris, you’ll know there’s nothing there.

The scale on that picture says the object is approximately 24 m long, or about 79 feet. The tail height is less than 65 feet, and it is clearly wider than a fuselage, so the only thing it could be is a large piece of wing. It raises two issues to me. First, if it is part of the missing 777, it is large enough to suggest the plane did not crash in an uncontrolled manner, but made a water landing - otherwise I would expect it to be in much smaller pieces. Am I off-base with that presumption? Why would a suicidal pilot fly all the way out into the Southern Ocean and then land it instead of just spiraling in? Second, what would a huge piece of wing be doing floating after 10 or 12 days? Presumably it is heavier than water. Are the fuel cells (by then full of nothing but air)so strong that they could stay intact and air-filled that long?
