Also, China might not have been the ultimate destination. I wonder how many people on any given flight, if upon review, would have problems with the passport. Having two on board is pretty suspicious though, and I'm sure some good detective work is going on behind the scenes.
Thinking back to TWA 800, I remember the three debris fields, but can't remember any description of an "oil slick" on the surface. As probably most of you recall, during the early investigation there were a lot of theories (and I guess some still remain) of a missile launch or other explosion. The center tank was officially deemed the first explosion with additional "fireballs" from the wing tanks. It seems that a narrow oil slick presence would imply, if from this craft, that it was somewhat intact until impact, or at least portions of it.
