1. MISSING PLANE
It’s going to take time: Nearly three weeks after Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 crashed into the southern Indian Ocean, search teams have little to show for their efforts. Complex calculations based on satellite data indicate about where the Boeing 777 went down, but no debris has been recovered that can be linked to the plane. It’s a full-blown international effort. Seven military reconnaissance planes from Australia, China, New Zealand, the United States, Japan and South Korea are combing the waters about 1,500 miles southwest of Australia.
2. WASHINGTON LANDSLIDE
Buried in mud: A handful of people were miraculously pulled from the wreckage in Washington right after a mountain of mud rolled over two towns there Saturday. But no one has been found alive since, and the grim toll rises by the day. At least 16 have been confirmed dead. And today, rescuers will work to salvage another eight bodies they believe they have located under rubble of the landslide that covers about a square mile. At least 176 people are unaccounted for. But officials think some of the names of the missing have been duplicated, so they’re hoping the actual number may be smaller.
3. OBAMACARE EXTENSION
Squishy deadline: The deadline to sign up for Obamacare is Monday, but apparently there’s some wiggle room. Administration officials tell us that there’s a last-minute surge in folks trying to enroll and they don’t want anyone who’s already in the pipeline to get shut out. Nothing’s official yet, but applicants may get until mid-April to wrap up the application process. Also, the White House is short of its goal of 6 million enrollees. A little extra time might make those numbers look better.
