New theory - the remains of MH370 are lying intact on the Ocean floor

The discovery of what is believed to be a flaperon of Boeing 777 on Reunion Island has led to the formulation of a new theory about the missing Boeing 777 of Malaysian Airline. It is a theory that is difficult to digest but, when exerts join to talk about it, one has to tread with caution.
The new theory has been propagated by Malaysia's government news agency Bernama and reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 13 August 2015.

The debris, presumably a portion of the flaperon had washed-up on the island of Saint-Andre in La Reunion. In the opinion of a satellite expert who had helped British satellite firm Inmarsat analyze data shortly after the plane went missing in March last year, the jet probably made a soft landing on the water, floated for a while on the surface, and then sank mostly in one piece.
The views that he has expressed matches with what other experts have said about the likely fate of the plane following emergence of fresh evidence with the discovery of the flaperon. The way events have been reconstructed are - the aircraft may have glided along after running out of fuel and descended slowly into the water.
Another opinion expressed by an Australian aviation expert is that the aircraft had gone into the water in a controlled-type crash. When the engines hit the water, they sheared off and the flaperon is located straight behind one of the engines.
In that case, it would imply that all those on board had already died otherwise someone would have tried to contact ground staff or relatives.

2014 – The year-end review in five words

#2014In5words With just a few days more left for 2014, can we describe it in just 5 words? ‘It was a messy year’ would best describe the year going by.
2014 was a year that has seen happenings that are disgusting, barbaric, and revolting with breakup of Ukraine, air crashes of Malaysian Airlines flights, destruction of Syria’s chemical weapons, atrocities like beheading of innocents and the cold blooded murder of women committed by ISIS in Iraq and Syria, by the kidnapping of schoolgirls from Chibok by Boko Haram in Nigeria, by the Pakistani Taliban in Pakistan mowing down hundreds of innocent children, by the growing black-divide in the United States, by the epidemic Ebola.
Of course, there have been moments of joy and rejoicing – like the Sochi Winter Olympics, the revelations about methane on Mars, the low-cost Mangalyaan mission to Mars by India, the Nobel Prize for Malala Yousafzai, the emergence of BJP as a political power in India, the drop in oil prices due to fracking etcetera.
Therefore, we can safely describe #2014In5words – ‘it was a messy year’.
