AT the time of writing, we are no closer to knowing the fate of Malaysia Airlines fight MH 370 than we were at the start of this whole traumatic episode.
We know the last contact with the airplane was somewhere between Malaysia's east coast and southern Vietnam, some oil spills which may or may not be from the aircraft have been detected and at least two passengers boarded the plane with stolen/fake passports. International search and rescue operations are going on but apart from the few basic facts, we only have rumours, speculation and conjecture.
