Web sleuths claim to have spotted missing Flight MH370: Student posts 'satellite' image showing a jet over the jungle as thousands join online search for plane

Web sleuths from across the world have joined in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 by turning to the map search website Tomnod.
The online community has added to the confusion surrounding the 12 day mystery of the missing jetliner as people post possible sightings and new theories.
Even celebrities have taken to poring over satellite images uploaded to the website and offering up their suggestions as to where the plane might be.
Investigators meanwhile probing the disappearance of the plane believe it most likely flew into the southern Indian Ocean, a source close to the investigation said today.
Courtney Love appears to be the most famous user of Tomnod after she posted a photograph of satellite imagery from the site on her Facebook page on Monday, and suggested: 'I'm no expert but up close this does look like a plane and an oil slick.'
Elsewhere, users of social networking site Reddit have posted an image which they claim appears to show debris from the plane in the Strait of Malacca.
