They've found the wreckage...or at least a good part of it.
How amazing is that?

Tech is good now, however the dead should be left in peace.
Make the wreckage an official grave.

Tough decision for victims familes, do they leave the dead there, or bring them home?
I think I would rather have loved ones brought home

I'm sure most people would feel the same way.
I understand your point Wotan but would you feel the same way if your wife or child was on board?
Its a hard call if you are personally involved, easy if you are not.
In cold fact they always have been. The whole point of the searching is to try and find out what happened and why it crashed.
But now that they've found bodies, the decision to return them or not,(if that's even possible) should belong to the relatives.

Remains, the deceased should be fairly intact unless damaged in the crash.
Water is so cold and most bacteria shut down.
Once into warm air they will decomose rapidly.
If it were my children/wife I would rather they were left there.

Yeah, I just read that in the guardian as well. 
If it was my loved ones I'd want them brought home, and I'd definitely want to know why they died. I think most people would feel the same but obviously that's a personal decision.

Never said I knew this myself, but have heard before.
As you say, depends on the relatives wishes.
Obviously the cause would be good to know.

Whatever happens, it's a fantastic achievement to find the wreckage of one little plane 2-3 miles down in the middle of a fckin ocean.

Agreed.
As I said Tech is getting better and better.

When a ship goes down, leave it as a monument to those that died. But when a plane crashes, recover it, to learn why it failed, to make it safer for everyone else in future.
There is a tradition for burying those that die at sea, to commit their bodies to the sea...but a plane is different.

I do appreciate your point, there seems to be mixed feelings, some people say they would want the remains brought home, obviously to give a definate closure to sad loss of loved realitives.
Others are saying leave the remains where they are, if recovery of the deceased does take place, how do you recgoncile the two factions of thoughts, the dead would all need to be identified.
