Malaysia Airlines loses contact with plane carrying 239 people

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

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."

U.S. Navy P-8 Finds 'Nothing' In Debris Hunt, Returns To Refuel

A U.S. Navy P-8A Poseidon aircraft searching the area where an Australian satellite traced possible debris found nothing on Thursday and headed back to its base, authorities said.

The sophisticated anti-submarine aircraft, which can scan an area of up to 10,000 square miles, was bound for the western Australian city of Perth to refuel, officials said shortly before 5 a.m. ET.

U.S. Navy Plane Is Airborne in Malaysian Jet Search


The plane searched the area for four hours and did not find "any evidence at all” of debris that authorities said might be related to missing Malaysia Airlines flight 370.

However, other aircraft from Australia and New Zealand remained airborne over the area where satellites traced two objects.

It is incredibly unlikely to have a fire put out the amount of smoke needed to knock everyone out, but then go out so it doesn't bring down the plane.

Its a clever theory, but it was pretty much considered and dismissed when it went viral a couple days ago.

- Plane crashes

Also predict we're going to find out that a lot of the data being reported ends up being bogus.

A burning plane would not fly for 7 hours.

I love CNN breaking news. Reporter on board P8 say multiple pings in the water something is down there.

Later news P 8 searches area 4 hours and finds nothing returns to refuel. Bunch of over excited idiots. That reporter probably pissed his pants thinking he had the story. Why even let those idiots fly with them.
