As we blogged about on here a few days ago, there's been a plane missing very mysteriously, you may have heard about it. That plane being MH370. This morning I saw some breaking news, the Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak, was holding a press conference. In said press conference, Razak informed the world that with some new analysis (done by British company Inmarsat) it could be confirmed that MH370 ended up in the Indian Ocean. He also mentioned that we can now conclude that there are no survivors of MH370.
Watch the press conference itself, here:

I can say that I certainly felt a bit sad, when things or people are just "missing" you hope in some way they way they will turn up again. So sadness was felt, but my overwhelming reaction was more like "...uh that's it?" It's clear that Razak needed to make a statement of some sort but there just seemed to be such a lack of information. That is why I think this story has everyone so intrigued: we don't know what the hell is going on.
Not knowing exactly what is going on certainly has not stopped U.S. new sources from taking this story and running with it. There has been so little concrete knowledge of what is going on that they just seem to have to work with what they have. CNN in particular seems to be obsessed with this story:
What can CNN and other news sources possibly talk about now? Well they'll probably just talk about this press conference for as long as it takes for a new story to come along.
Comedian Rob Delaney sends his condolences to the loved one's of the plane:
