He added: "Mr B said these two planes must have perfectly tracked the MH370 "Why believe the official story when they're withholding essential pieces of evidence?" nineteen pieces of wreckage from flight MH370 have been found however formal investigations led by Australia and Malaysia have failed to provide answers as to what happened Topics: World News, Netflix, Travel Madagascar (AP) — A Frenchman whose wife and two of his three children were on a Malaysia Airlines plane that disappeared in 2014 said Sunday that he was still trying to find out what happened to the aircraft partly as a way of dealing with the emotional cost of his loss Ghislain Wattrelos joined half a dozen relatives of some of the 239 people aboard Flight 370 on a weeklong visit to Madagascar to ask coastal residents to look out for debris from the missing plane that may have washed up after drifting across the Indian Ocean Wattrelos said he was frustrated over the failure of a high-tech expensive search by governments to turn up any hint of why the plane apparently crashed in the ocean and wanted to do something for his spouse and children “It’s been 1,000 days and we still have no clue of what happened — what happened to my family,” Wattrelos where he and relatives from Malaysia and China planned their itinerary to areas where they believe plane debris may have come ashore “It’s part of the recovery process I’m going through,” he said who formed an association called Voice 370 are becoming increasingly anxious because Malaysia Australia and China are close to completing a deep-sea sonar search of 120,000 square kilometers (46,000 square miles) off Australia’s southwest coast in the Indian Ocean The plane is believed to have crashed there after deviating from its flight path from Malaysia to Beijing on March 8 Officials say they will suspend operations if there is no new evidence that could help pinpoint the crash site but relatives of the missing travelers believe the discovery of plane debris around Africa since last year is a good reason to widen the search Pieces confirmed to have come from the missing Boeing 777 include a wing flap known as a flaperon that was found on Reunion Island last year and another wing flap that washed ashore on an island off Tanzania found a piece of debris in Mozambique that officials say was almost certainly a horizontal stabilizer from a Flight 370 wing and he has found possible plane remains in Madagascar “The reason that I’m so focused on Madagascar is that this is the only place where more than one piece of debris has been found on the same beach,” said Gibson who is accompanying the relatives on their travels in Madagascar He said he had also found “personal effects” — including a shoe the remains of a leather purse and part of a computer case — but acknowledged uncertainty over their origin Wattrelos said he was troubled that the official search hasn’t focused more on debris around Africa and that it could be too late to find such wreckage a year from now “I will stop searching when I have a definite answer,” he said “He should do something else,” Wattrelos said “I need to show him that life still goes

close friendship has emerged as one tragic story from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370, with two students of Beijing's Lycee Francais International de Pekin listed as being aboard the flight French teens Hadrien Wattrelos and Zhao Yan both appeared on a passenger manifest published by Malaysia Airlines Saturday evening Both are enrolled at the Lycee Francais International de Pekin a former French School parent and student told the Beijinger Based on ages included on the passenger list Lycee Francais representatives could not be reached for comment Saturday night Although neither had included "relationship status" as part of their public profile on Facebook a selfie of the two together was posted on July 29 accompanied by the words "Je t'aime" ("I love you") Two other passengers on the manifest, Laurence Wattrelos, 52, and Ambre Wattrelos, 14, are believed to be Hadrien's mother and sister, respectively. Ambre is also a student at the French School and Laurence is listed as vice president of the Association des Parents D'Eleves du Lycee Francais International de Pekin They are among 239 passengers and crew that went missing after flight MH 370 took off from Kuala Lumpur after midnight Saturday and lost contact with air traffic control about two hours later The plane was scheduled to land at about 6:30am Saturday morning The Wall Street Journal reports that the patriarch of the Wattrelos family was on his way to Beijing at the time the flight was reported missing and was met by French consular officials at the airport and brough to the Metropark Beijing hotel where families and friends are awaiting news of the fate of the flight Other Beijingers among the missing are husband and wife Muktesh Mukherjee and Bai Xiaomo who are Canadian citizens and parents of two small children their children did not appear to be traveling with them Photo: aefe-asie.net Editor's note: the images originally accompanying this blog post have been removed at the request of the Wattrelos family And wanted to echo TX_Chick: could we perhaps remove some of these comments now that the pics have been deleted Not to get rid of this lovely record of dissent to avoid causing more distress for any who have been touched by this horrible event Doubt wisely; in strange way / To stand inquiring right is not to stray; / To sleep I really hope the members of the family aren't still reading this Maybe it's time to delete most of the comments since the pictures have been removed Your defence is pretty wafer-thin if the best you can manage is 'look Whatever your reasons for taking down the photos Thank you to the editor for taking the photos off The family shouldn't have had to ask in the first place however I hope Mr Schwankert remember next time he writes an article to be a little more thoughtful http://digital.community-journalism.net/askanexpert/answers/can-i-use-facebook-photo-news-story-with Very rarely do challenegs to soicla media photos come up for either you or other media organisations you might not simply walk away the winners I'm guessing you didn't get permission from whoever took the photo of the two friends that your article originally had According to legal analysis in the reports above any thoughts on how that legal challenge would work here the pictures were in poor taste...but your speculation about their relationship and was missing from everyone elses articles A high school romance or close friendship has emerged as one tragic story from the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370, with two students of Beijing's Lycee Francais International de Pekin listed as being aboard the flight I believe that this is what was unneccesary in your article that you stand by so loyally But thank you for taking down the pictures at least "The human condition of having ideals and compassion are completely bereft of mutual attachment and shall the two always be asunder." -- said no one ever I don't think I ever disagreed with the use of the photos to be tbj taking conflicting positions on this issue We ran the story and a few people objected and now we've removed the photos at the request of the family We serve our community in good times and bad We do it responsibly and adhere to accepted principles of journalism Other news outlets have disclosed far more about the people involved than we did and yet nary a word has been said about it I'm not convinced those outlets know this community better than we do and are far less sensitive to community feelings than we are What would have been irresponsible and shameful is if we had ignored the situation if we had not made any effort to call attention to the missing or show what the loss to the community will be if the ultimate outcome is not a positive one I often wonder what other news sources our most frequent commentators read is so skewed as to produce this kind of reaction to a human interest story about what would be such a sad loss if confirmed most readers of this blog/website consider tbj a community publication and will thsu hold you and your editorial endeavors in a different regard to mainstream media/tabloids Unlike my objection to the "photographer" remark I'm too far removed from thsi situation to 'judge' you either way It was my intention to point out that you say you stand my your efforts and for Admin to defend the use of the picture "because other people do it" but then to still take down the image becuase you were asked to or address the fact that despite what you have said to others you still believe removing the photos after But if taking them down showed respect for the family which would be a lot closer to a community publication like tbj than the Daily Mail that maybe you shouldn't try to hold both positions at once P.S - Your re-analysis of the "restraurant stolen from expat by evil ex-employ" story a few months ago So: the posting of the Facebook photos is the main offense that you disagree with but you're still unable to support the action of taking them down once it happens I suppose being self-righteous is something that is its own reward I'm sorry if you think I'm being self-righteous Charlie because you are simply empathic and good at heart Please be sure to notify CBC as well of your objections to using Facebook photos: I find that the image now used in probably more than half of the news reports on this incident -- the in-your-face photo of the woman desperately crying into her phone while awaiting news of her loved ones on the flight -- to be far more invasive offensive and insensitive an image than what is used in this post The New York Times and a number of other sources that have used text and images from public social media profiles in their stories to your scumbag list Are these some of the things you said to the Wattrelos family before finally removing the images you've repeatedly said in comments here that other 'repuatable' news sources do it you 'stood by your work' and told the family that in the interest of the public Probably nothing to do with threats of legal action And what does it matter which photo you use Your articles will still get all that international traffic that you crave so much as long as it has all the important keywords in for search results I'm sure the National Enquirer will be emailling you soon asking for your 'expert local opinion' on how the Beijing expat community is reacting to the news I find that the image now used in probably more than half of the news reports on this incident -- the in-your-face photo of the woman desperately crying into her phone while awaiting news of her loved ones on the flight -- to be far more invasive Books by current and former Beijinger staffers I think the general reaction to this Beijinger piece (almost universally negative both in the comments here and on other Beijing forums) is a better guide to how this topic should be treated than the argument that "others did it Facebook and social media sites are all technically public (even though many people still largely ignore the privacy settings and post for their friends only) but the third paragraph is unnecessary IMO There is huge interest in this story - and it's a great spot to piece together the above - but it still needs to be treated extremely sensitively Are they fine with all these details appearing The Facebook-is-public argument only goes so far I don't think you understand what "humanize" means Daily Mail would be illegally hunting down a home number and harassing a family member This story is comprised entirely of public statements made on a public website Look -- you are of course perfectly free to be as outraged as you like about anything you like Just as I am perfectly free to comment that I feel your outrage is completely misplaced I appreciate knowing a little more about the passengers on the plane as it reminds me that everyone's story is as important as my own It causes me to think about my words and want to be kinder to others It's sad that what this event has done for some is make them want to blame someone including journalists who write stories about it (because they're available?) a lot of MINORS are involved in your story which make it a whole different ball game But I  learned a long time ago arguing with scumbag was useless.. for online subscribers of the

Ever heard of copyright on photography at your "journalist" school even if you don't see how despicable using the picture is The fake-outrage posts above are astonishingly ignorant Every media outlet in the world is using social media to track this story The fact that we are all connected to this somehow is worth covering This is a sensitively written story which humanizes (what at this stage appears to be) a terrible and it does so in a way specific to the Beijing expats who are the community this magazine serves I'm sure the story's writer and the magazine's publisher will thank you for

who will have to face this when they return to school after the holidays I hope I will not see this article and our comments tomorrow morning when I wake up You had to go on the Facebook profile (of a

released the documentary MH370: The Plane That Disappeared about the Malaysia Airlines Flight that vanished in 2014 with 239 people on board this month everyone has been trying to uncover the identity of a mysterious spy mentioned multiple times throughout the series whose wife Laurence and children Hadrien and Ambre went missing on the MH370 flight Ghyslain claims that the spy told him “the Americans know full well what happened” to the missing plane in case you’re wondering who Mr B is and whether he’s a credible source here’s everything we know about Ghyslain’s informant: Mr B is a man who works in the intelligence community who approached Ghyslain during the first year of the MH370 investigation to share information Ghyslain explains: “Someone I knew told me Ghyslain explains he met Mr B in a car park in France to discuss flight MH370: “The first thing he told me was ‘the Americans know full well what happened because there were two American AWACS that were monitoring the area at the time the plane disappeared,'” he said “These AWACS are Boeing planes with a huge radar like a mushroom on top “It’s like a small satellite above the earth that sees everything that’s happening in a 600km radius Mr B said these two planes must have perfectly tracked the MH370 regardless of its state at any moment,” he added Why believe the official story when they’re withholding essential pieces of evidence?” Although the identity of Mr B is still very much unknown to the general public French journalist Florence de Changy claims she fact checked Ghyslain’s meeting with the secret service connection using her own inside sources Additionally, Mr B’s claims about the two American AWACS knowing where the missing plane is substantiate Florence’s cargo theory, which similarly claims the United States Air Force were aware of what happened at the time of MH370’s disappearance Florence theorises the MH370 pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah was ordered by the US to land the plane at the nearest airbase on the night it vanished because they were trying to stop confidential electronics being taken by the Chinese in Beijing the flight was shot out of the sky over the South China Sea This is just one of many theories circling round about the disappearance “The shooting down could have been a blunder,” she writes “But it could have also been a last resort to stop the plane and its special cargo from falling into Chinese hands.” MH370: The Plane That Disappeared is available on Netflix now.

The feat was performed before some 50 people and Vandendorpe's mantra for success was simple we can advance (and) obtain results that can improve things." His training techniques including sitting in an ice-cold jacuzzi training in a 500-litre freezer and then remaining buried in snow in the French ski resort of Chamonix He aims to donate the money raised through his feat to the Wonder Augustine association founded in Wattrelos following the death of a four-year-old girl called Augustine two years ago from brain cancer "Everyone can donate one euro for every minute Romain remained immersed in ice," said Steve de Matos Vandendorpe had met Augustine a few days before her passing His message to children battling cancer was simple: "Always be hopeful."
