Malaysian Leader Says Flight 370 Ended in Indian Ocean

PEARCE AIR FORCE BASE, Australia — Malaysia’s prime minister said Monday that further analysis of satellite data confirmed that the missing Malaysian airliner went down in the southern Indian Ocean. The announcement narrowed the search area but left many questions unanswered about why it flew to such a remote part of the world.

Experts had previously held out the possibility that the jet could have flown north instead, toward Central Asia, but the new data showed that it could have gone only south, said the prime minister, Najib Razak.

Mr. Najib appeared eager to bring closure to the families of the passengers on Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, two-thirds of whom are Chinese. The families have grown increasingly angry about the lack of clear information about the plane’s fate. The Boeing 777, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members onboard, was headed from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it disappeared on March 8.

The info about, ""All right, good night," being the last words recorded is what seems crazy to me:

Since when does a pilot tell control, "Goodnight?"

It all doesnt make sense to me either. I have been following this like crazy, feel so bad for all the families
I dont know why they didnt think of this idea. There is a website where you can track activity of sharks that are tagged in the area. Why not track those sharks, if there is 239 bodies in the water then those sharks will most likely have been there.
Sad to say

I don't know how long it takes a plane to sink, but sharks (so "they" say) only swim 10k feet.

What I have to question is that they have thought they found debris several times already, why do they know this time that it is the plane?  Most of the debris from a plane crash should sink pretty quickly, it is heavy and not meant to float.  Though I would guess the seat cushions would float (aren't they supposed to be able to be used as flotation devises?) but unless the plane broke on impact those aren't going to be floating around either.
