Possible MH370 wreckage washed away near Madagascar

Now all we need is for somebody take the MH370 flight sim video the media brought out of retirement and dub over the sounds of clapping coconuts as it cruises along. Personally, I liked the radial sounds of the past, but the way this thread is going, we need coconuts.
 
Mainstream media aviation news coverage.

I know this is a LOOONG shot, and its only one piece, but, bear with me on this. Am I the only one who, from looking at the piece itself, gives me the impression it looks rather... intact. Could it be the first link on the Low speed impact, implying the fuel starvation theory?
Thanks

Wouldn't it have to still have somebody at the controls to fly it onto the water. When Payne Stewart's Lear ran out of gas, everybody was already dead/incapacitated. I seem to recall the autopilot tried to hold altitude, the aircraft stalled, got airspeed back and pitched up to the selected altitude. This repeated until it hit the ground.

I know they're totally different aircraft and systems, etc, but would the 777 hold a level-ish attitude when power is lost without inputs from the cockpit?
 
Sitting at lunch and the news is saying additional wreckage has floated up in the same area including cups with Malaysian writing on them.
 
I'm surprised there are still family members of MH370 who think their loved ones are still alive somewhere. I can't imagine the pain they are in but that isn't a realistic expectation.
