Here we go again. Chinese ships have detected a pulse signal in the Indian Ocean that some think might finally be the black box from the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 jet. They also discovered ‘parts’ in the ocean which could be from the plane, or could simply be ocean garbage again. Too many times the families of the victims on Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 have been let down. Lets hope this isn’t another one of those times.

In what may be breakthroughs in the monthlong search for Malaysia Airlines flight 370, a Chinese patrol ship searching the southern Indian Ocean has discovered a signal coming on the same frequency known to be used by so-called black boxes, and planes have identified new objects in the water, officials said Saturday.
“I have been advised that a series of sounds have been detected by a Chinese ship in the search area,” Angus Houston, the chief coordinator of Australia’s Joint Agency Coordination Centre, said in a prepared statement.
“The characteristics reported are consistent with the aircraft black box,” he said, adding that a number of white objects were sited about 56 miles (90 kilometers) away.
“However, there is no confirmation at this stage that the signals and the objects are related to the missing aircraft,” the retired air chief marshal said.
