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.. |

Wow. I presume that the background of the pilots is being thoroughly investigated?

how would you have radio silence though? Somehow along the way someone would have gotten a text or call out wouldn't you think, if everyone is alive?
I think it's Payne Stewart v2.0.

U.S. Investigators Suspect Missing Malaysia Airlines Plane Flew On for Hours
U.S. investigators suspect that Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 stayed in the air for about four hours past the time it reached its last confirmed location, according to two people familiar with the details, raising the possibility that the plane could have flown on for hundreds of additional miles under conditions that remain murky. Aviation investigators and national security officials believe the plane flew for a total of five hours, based on data automatically downloaded and sent to the ground from the Boeing Co. BA 777's engines as part of a routine maintenance and monitoring program. That raises a host of new questions and possibilities about what happened aboard the widebody jet carrying 239 people, which vanished from civilian air-traffic control radar over the weekend, about one hour into a flight to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur. |

If I remember correctly, when Payne Stewart died something happened with his plane to where there was a loss of cabin pressure, everyone would have blacked out soon after, and the plane flew on autopilot until it ran out of fuel, or something of that nature. I wonder if that happened here?

What communication method do the engines use to report home? It's odd that that comes through fine, but India never made radar contact. It's hard to believe anyone would be able to fly that jumbo that low for that long over that terrain. Someone mentioned Aliens. Crazy, but it makes as much sense as all the other theories so far. Remember the crazy story of Flight 19 where squadron of F6's got lost in the Bermuda triangle and no trace was ever found. This is sure getting like that.

I've been thinking the same thing, but I don't know if there's a non radar flooded route there. South Korea's US base would surely pick it up. Kim Jong UN would be foolish to piss of the Chinese, but then again he's foolish.
