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 probably just a publicity stunt for the Lost reunion.

It couldn't of went many places without being identified. Also it would of had to stay at altitude to conserve fuel. The lower you fly the more fuel turbines burn. |

So it's the US, and really only the US, that is jumping right to the "terrorism" explanation.

There are a lot of places in the jungle and mountains in those islands that are almost totally inaccessible.
I'm wondering if it didn't plunge into a lake somewhere, and that is why no one has seen it. |

The people running those investigations apparently don't think there's much to it.
