Black box pulse signal detected

News stations are reporting the Malaysian flight black box signal has been detected in the southern Indian Ocean. I hope it's not a false alarm this time.

Re: Black box pulse signal detected

CNN is saying that a signal of a frequency of 37.5kHZ has been detected.

No one has said definitively, and with 100% certainty, that it is the black box.

I'll wait for conformation first, before I get too excited.

We've had false hopes before.

Wouldn't this be a miracle? I hope it is true.

I hope that it's true, too, but I'm just waiting for 100% conformation before I get too excited.

We've been down this road before with stuff found in the ocean, only to find out that it was fishing garbage.

How long does the black box emit pulses?

Thanks for the well wishes.

I hope that it isn't another false lead too. That's why I'm waiting before I get too excited.
