But they say theyre credible reports of debris fields and it turns out that its exactly not a debris field. we have had french satellites and malaysian satellites and chinese satellites. is there any debris yet found? >> none at all. and australian officials announced to say we may never find any. this part of the ocean is full of so much junk ever junk and pollution. they are getting way laid by the fact has nothing to do with the missing flight. even thats bad we have a junked up ocean. the oc...
