Malaysia Airlines loses contact with plane carrying 239 people
Malaysia Airlines says it has lost contact with a plane with 239 aboard enroute from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
The airline said in a statement early Saturday it was attempting to locate the Boeing 777 after it lost contact with Subang Air Traffic Control at 2:40 a.m. It was scheduled to land in Beijing at 6:30 a.m. China's state-run news agency Xinhua reported the plane was lost in airspace controlled by Vietnam, and did not make contact with Chinese air traffic controllers. The plane is carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, and 12 crew members. The airline said it is working with authorities to locate the plane. Boeing said on its Twitter account it is monitoring the situation, and "our thoughts are with everyone on board." http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/03...ing-23-people/ Malaysian jet probe sharpens focus on passengers, crew as new clues emerge http://www.foxnews.com/world/2014/03...-indian-ocean/ Last edited by ShowtimeSBMVP; 03-15-2014 at 09:02 AM.. |

It's crazy that they can't find a giant plane.

They say they have the location where it went off radar...... Surely it's around there somewhere!

Maybe the transponder was turned off and it crashed somewhere else? I don't know.

You have to wonder how it could crash and leave no debris that anyone has found yet. It would have needed to plunge nose-down into the ocean or something. If it broke apart in mid-air (Scary!) there would be a debris field that would just be getting wider by the day

This seems very similar to Air France Flight 447.
It went down on June 1, 2009. They didn't actually find most of the debris until 2 years later |

Even if the plane plunged in a perfect 10.0 nosedive, there would still be wreckage. The plan wouldn't stay intact and just sink.
I remember when the Alaska Airlines plane essentially did just that off the coast of LA there was a lot of wreckage. |
