one of the residents claims that the plane was so low they could make out the doors... wouldn't the next logical question be "Did you see any writing on the side of the plane?"
I mean if they could see the plane was very low, they could see if it said "Malaysian Airlines" on it... instead the reporter chooses to move on to the next topic... if the witness confirmed they saw "Malaysian Airlines" on the side of the plane, it would make the story a lot more believable.

Airline names tend to be well above the window line on the fuselage.
If you're more-or-less under a plane, you won't see the name. You'll see the logo on the tail, maybe call letters on the belly, but not the name.
Yes, I realize this is a distant high-altitude shot and you can't make out the doors... from this ANGLE, you also can't see the name of the airline.
