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.. |

So I'm guessing Kuala Lumpur is in Malaysia which more or less a big island off the coast of China, sorry geography escapes me, been too long. If that's the case I wonder how much ocean would have to be traversed for survivors?

I guess some tracking blog said that the plane made a sharp turn and descended a couple of hundred meters before disappearing. I'm not sure how to read that. Did the plane disintegrate? How does it disappear if it's still at altitude?

According to reports, ATC lost contact with MH370 ~2hr 40min into the flight, which would put the plane about 100 miles south of the coast of Vietnam.

That's why I thought it went down in the ocean.

At least it's daylight over there right now. Hopefully they can find it. Lots of conflicting things on twitter right now. Those things I posted were coming out of China and Vietnam.
