The medium and the lost brother serial number#

WOOD: And since then, just hoping for answers. I was good about not letting anybody see it, but it took me about that amount of time to level out, so to speak. And, I mean, I wasn't a wreck, but at the same time, I'd break down a lot, you know, in private and just cry. WOOD: It took me, personally, eight to nine months to get a hold of myself, you know. You know, when no one's giving you answers and everybody's just trying to come up with something to appease everyone and then they really can prove it, your mind starts to wander.īLOCK: What has the arc of the last 17 months been like for you and for your family? You know, so there are all kinds of thoughts and then even more crazy ones like the plane just disappearing. There were multiple sightings at the beginning by fishermen who I don't think are trying to become famous or anything like that. WOOD: There were rumors that it had landed on an airstrip in Vietnam, you know, or it had crash landed. It kind of leads you to be suspicious about things.īLOCK: What would the scenario be that you let yourself imagine that would be something other than a crash? Is there some other scenario that you're entertaining here? I mean, it's a slim chance, but until I get some real answers, the book's still open.īLOCK: So many false leads along the way. And so there's a chance that this is nothing again. WOOD: I was just thinking, I'm not going to react because during those first few weeks and months, people lead me to jump, you know, and react to things that then turned out to be nothing. That would tell us a whole lot more, you know?īLOCK: Yeah, do you remember when you first heard that they'd found this piece of wreckage, what you were thinking? I need a black box or something like that to get some real closure.īLOCK: You want the data recorders found. But, you know, until I hear definites instead of supposition and people trying to close something that isn't closed or shouldn't be closed yet, then I'm still not convinced. I mean, I treat every day as though he probably is gone and I probably won't see him again.

WOOD: No, I'm not convinced, not until they give me a serial number that matches up. Tom, thanks so much for being with us.īLOCK: Are you convinced that this piece of wreckage that they found is from the airplane that your brother was on? He worked for IBM in Beijing, and his brother Tom Wood joins me now from Dallas to talk about the search and unanswered questions. Philip Wood was one of three Americans on the flight. Two hundred thirty nine people were on board that flight when it disappeared nearly 17 months ago. Malaysian authorities say a big piece of aircraft wing, found on Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, is definitively from Flight 370, but French and other authorities have not confirmed that.

The family members are trying to get answers about conflicting information. They were stopped by police after a scuffle.

Relatives of Chinese passengers who disappeared with Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 march to the Malaysian Embassy in Beijing today.
