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.. |

I think I would rather die from the crash then parachute out into the middle of the ocean to die slowly.

Does a parachute fit in the carry-on measuring box?

I'm interested to see if they release this "new sat data" that allowed them to make the call that it's down.

That's not a winning attitude. There are friendly dolphins, Japanese whalers, and all sorts of allies out there.

Good question. It would be annoying if they gate-checked it and then then the plane caught on fire later.

Seems all you'd have to do is toss a doughnut 1 way and snag pants when he's turning his head. |

If the plane is going down and my odds aren't good, I'd have a hard time giving up a doughnut. I'd have to be pretty sure that the pants thing is going to work.
