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.. |

Dying in a plane crash can really change a man.

no, there were unsubstantiated rumors of that, but the investigation dispelled it.

Now it seems that the plane transmitted Engine Data back to rolls Royce for ~4-5hours after the last confirmed location - perhaps traveling up to 2,200 nautical miles
it could be anywhere in this circle |

Fox News is reporting within the last hour that no debris was found at the location of the Chinese satellite images either.
This thing is taking an even more bizarre turn, if that was possible. |

The Clayton Hartwig incident aboard the USS Iowa was supposed to be about a homosexual relationship, but they changed that one up too. I think the military just denies and omits it from the reports. I think both cases were correct from the beginning, but then again the media originally said Zimmerman was white. Who knows.

it makes me wonder if they could have had a situation similar to Payne Stewart where everyone lost consciousness on the plane. looking at that Circle, wouldn't the land-based radars have picked them up if they were crossing any of the land masses?

They're now saying that atleast 1 of the planes engines checked in and reported it was doing 480 knots for 4 hours after contact was lost with the Cabin and by radar. Speculation is now that it could possibly have landed in Pakistan. Fascinating mystery. Astonishing how inept Malaysia and her neighbors are.

Think about this, the jet I fly burns around 1350 lbs a fuel per hour per side at 3000 ft. Yet at 41000 feet we burn around 575lbs per hour per side. 2700 lbs at 3000 feet per hour 1150 lbs at 41000 feet per hour So the lower the big heavy 777 flies with 2 engines having to produce more power/thrust to push it through the air heavier denser air. It will probably burn 3 times the fuel than at cruise altitude, if not more. I don't know the burn rates of the 777, just understand air density and turbine engines fuel burn rates. Lower ='s dramatically decrease in range Higher ='s normal cruise range |

Although, if it was flying low (CAT I/II) the fuel burn rate would be very high. Enough to burn at 4hrs at almost cruising speed? Depends on how much fuel was in that A/C. I work in the airline industry & this has people stumped big time. More & more people are slowly thinking, maybe this bird is on the ground somewhere?
