That empathy, thats what makes it possible for people from every background, every race, every religion to come together as
The piece of debris that left for france, this wasnt just the normal process of getting an item on to plane, i understand . Reporter no, absolutely not. This had to be dealt with so delicately. Because anything and everything on that debris, any compromising of the integrity of that debris can have an impact on the investigation. So it was wrapped very, very carefully to preserve as much as possible for the investigators.

And there is an ongoing search right now for any other items that might be possibly from the plane . Reporter the search does continue. We had Police Helicopters flying overhead for most of today, and actually for most of the past few days, because the working theory that investigators have is if this is indeed mh370, that countercurrent that brought it could possibly be brin
