This is a wiki on the Russian newspaper that carried the article I posted above....

Moskovskij Komsomolets (Russian: Московский комсомолец) is a Moscow-based daily newspaper with a circulation approaching one million, covering general news. Founded in 1919, it is now regarded as publishing sensational or provocative items on Russian politics and society.

MK is also known as host for Russia's oldest hit parade - the Zvukovaya Dorozhka (Sound Track, in Russian). It has been published monthly since 1977 and features both Russian and international acts (in Soviet times, these were mostly from the Eastern Bloc).

So I think your call was right kelsee, it is a Russian National Enquirer of sorts

Samples from oil slick not from Missing Malaysian plane.

PERTH, Australia — Investigators were analyzing data collected by a robotic submarine that completed its first successful scan of the seabed Thursday in the hunt for the missing Malaysian plane, but say tests have ruled out that a nearby oil slick came from the aircraft.

The unmanned sub’s first two missions were cut short by technical problems and deep water, but the Bluefin 21 finally managed to complete a full 16-hour scan of the silt-covered seabed far off Australia’s west coast, the search coordination center said. While data collected during the mission, which ended overnight, were still being analyzed, nothing of note had yet been discovered, the center said.

CNN is out of control.

They are still doing almost non stop coverage on this plane. Their "Breaking News" banner is up 95% of the time, and all they are doing is throwing out new theories or discussing what could have happened. It's maddening to even click on that channel.

I will say though, I laughed my ass off at their images they are using. The news guy is standing there, on what appears to be a large rock of some sort, floating in an ocean, using his pointer to point out areas of interest.

I should have taken a photo, it was the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen!!!

Missing Malaysia Airlines flight: Search is at a 'critical juncture'

Malaysia authorities are pinning their hopes of finding the missing Malaysian airliner on the seabed of the Indian Ocean 2,000 kilometres west of Perth over the Easter weekend.

“The search for today and tomorrow is at a critical juncture,” the country’s acting transport minister Hishammuddin Hussein said on Saturday.

“We appeal for everybody around the world to pray that we find something to work on in the couple of days,” he said.

“Whatever happens in that period, we will then regroup and discuss our next move.”

Mr Hishammuddin denied reports the search of a designated area would take six weeks to two months.

“That is not true. It should be completed by next week,” he told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur.

In Australia, officials supervising the search by a deep sea autonomous vehicle (AUV) called Bluefin 21 said the search area could be completed in five to seven days.

“Provided the weather is favourable for launch and recovery of the AUV and we have a good run with the serviceability of the AUV, we should complete the search of the focussed underwater area in five to seven days,” the Joint Agency Coordination Centre said.

The area was identified by four acoustic signals believed to have been sent by the plane’s black box recording device almost two weeks ago, before its battery power expired.

Malaysia authorities say they will review the search operation next week if nothing is found over the weekend.

Mr Hishammuddin said in a Twitter post that more autonomous underwater vehicles could be deployed.

The search is already set to be the most expensive in history, costing about US$100 million so far.

“When we look at salvaging (wreckage) at a depth of 4.5 kilometres, no military out there has the capacity to do it,” Mr Hishammuddin said.

“We have to look at contractors, and the cost of that will be huge,” he said.

Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 carrying 239 people disappeared over the South China Sea on March 8 while on a scheduled flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Investigators in Kuala Lumpur concede it may never be known what happened on board the Boeing 777 unless the plane’s two black box recorders are found and analysed.

Investigators have been unable to establish why the plane diverted thousands of kilometres off course before running out of fuel and crashing into one of the world’s most desolate oceans.
