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.. |

Now the US ts sending the USS Kidd to the Indian Ocean to start searching. Is it me or does it seem there is no coordinated plan between countries going on here.

My guess is we are sending the USS Kidd because the Indian Ocean is the opposite direction as to where everyone else is looking and we typically have naval ships near the Indian Ocean and or that's the Kidd's normal AO.

I'M guessing that we are sending the USS Kidd out there because there is a known Alien spacecraft that was shot down out in the Indian Ocean and the U.S needs to get to it before the rest of the world so we can duplicate the alien technology. |

We received the parts from that aircraft to determine what happened. After investigating with the FAA and aircraft experts it was determined that the last time there was service on the pilot's crew mask they did not reengage the crew masks with the oxygen system. Pilots donned the masks, but there was no oxygen. The crew masks on the 777 have to be engaged with the O2 system. There are warning signs that something is wrong it that's not the case. |

The Payne Stewart theory doesn't really explain why the plane wasn't picked up on radar or why their transponders (or whatever they're called) just stopped working.

If there was either a rapid depressurization or a slow one, the flight crew and passengers may have been incapacitated. if the autopilot was not active at the time, the plane could simply have nosed into the ocean. In the middle of the ocean there is no radar. The lack of debris field is confusing, especially considering the Gulf is only a max of about 240ft deep at the deepest. But it's very difficult to see anything at sea, so unless there is a large debris field it could take a while for anything to be stumbled upon.

Well, yeah, there's that. Maybe the transponder lost consciousness too.

Really? Governments are always part of International flight investigations that crash. Especially the departing country, arrival country and aircraft manufacturing country.
