So that's the southern debris field correct?
What destination would that have put them heading toward?

Would there have been a destination? There really is nothing out there in that direction except Antarctica, right?

from BBC:
pretty messed up that they TEXTED the families instead of telling them in person
quote:
Breaking News The following SMS message has been sent to relatives: "Malaysia Airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived. As you will hear in the next hour from Malaysia's Prime Minister, we must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the Southern Indian Ocean."

So does that mean they found wreckage or that they're calling off the search?

Wait, so did they really find pieces? Or just some white stuff and a life jacket and bam, they just guess that's it.

hes giving his press conference now

Well, when I watched BBC this morning, they reported that objects had actually been spotted.
I mean, if they find one piece of debris with any sort of Malaysia Airlines markings on it, that should be enough, wouldn't you think?

He says, "Goodnight to everyone, this evening i was briefed by reps from the uK accident investigations, or AAIV. They informed me that the UK company that provided satellite data that indicated northern and southern corridors has performed further calculations using a type of analysis never befoe used. they have been able to shed more light on the flight path. based on the new analysis, they and the AAIV have concluded that MH370 flew along the southern corridor, and that its last position was in the middle of the indian ocean west of perth. this is a remote location, far from any possible landing sites. it is therefore, with deep sadness and regret that i must inform you that according to this new data, flight mh370 ended in the southern indian ocean. we will be holding a press conference tomorrow with further details. in the meantime we wanted to inform you of this new development at the earliest opportunity. we share this info out of commitment to openness and respect for the families. two principles which have guided the investigation. Malaysia airlines have already spoken to the families of passengers and crew to inform them of the development. for them the past few weeks have been heart breaking. i know this news must be harder still. i urge the media to respect their privacy and allow them the space they need at this very difficult time.

Heck, at this point, I wouldn't be surprised to hear the Malaysian PM say "Upon further investigation, we've found the plane still sitting at the gate waiting to taxi. Sorry for the confusion. All aboard are still dead from lack of food and water. Again, sorry. Obviously, I'll be taking no questions."
Posted on 3/24/14 at 9:01 am to GetCocky11
I totally agree, but that's not the case it seems. They spotted and "object". Unless it has the symbols of that airplane or something similar for hard evidence, I will just believe they are bowing out because they feel defeated.
By the aliens.

Do you think they will actually find the plane though or just debris?

tl;dr - the company who provided the images used a calculation that hasn't been used before to determine that the flight went to the southern corridor and ended in a remote spot with no plausible landing sites and they conclude from that info that it went down suddenly in the indian ocean.
