Hoping all will turn out well. Strange it has gone this long with no substantial news.

rsx 03-07-2014 06:31 PM
I doubt it's hijacking or terrorism, with a catastrophic communication failure, it most likely went down =(

Tragic.

EmperorIS 03-07-2014 06:35 PM
last reported contact at 35,000 feet... it is likely it blew up in mid air....

rsx 03-07-2014 06:40 PM
Could we change the title?

and if it was a terrorist explosive in the luggage hold + Malaysia is a muslim nation... guess what American media is going to say?

Reports are that they lost contact when passing through Vietnam. Unless it happened in a very remote area, chances are someone would have reported seeing debris and fire falling if it blew up mid air.

EmperorIS 03-07-2014 06:44 PM
According to the Vietnamese media, search & rescue crews have detected signals from the plane 120 nautical miles southwest of Cą Mau Province.

RS_Pat 03-07-2014 06:58 PM
Unlikely it would still be in the air now no? Would it have run out of fuel already?

A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 239 people lost contact with air traffic control and was still missing hours after it had been scheduled to land in Beijing. Here is a timeline:

12:41 a.m. -- The Boeing 777-200 -- carrying 227 passengers from 14 countries along with 12 crew members -- took off from Kuala Lumpur.

2:40 a.m. -- Air traffic control in Subang, a suburb of Kuala Lumpur, lost contact with the plane. The airline has not said where the aircraft was at that time.

6:30 a.m. -- The flight was scheduled to land in Beijing at 6:30 a.m.

7:24 a.m. -- Malaysia Airlines announced it had lost contact five hours earlier with the flight.

11:14 a.m. -- Malaysia Airlines held a news conference confirming the loss of contact with its aircraft. Four Americans, including an infant, were aboard, a spokesman said. "Our focus now is to work with the emergency responders and authorities and mobilize its full support," he added. Most of the passengers — 153, including one of the infants — were Chinese, the airline said Saturday. The other infant was an American, one of four on the plane. Thirty-eight people were from Malaysia, and 12 were from Indonesia.
