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.
