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.. |

something thats not getting any coverage in all this are the decelerometers and other sensors on the plane. A 777 has numerous sensors that begin pinging a distress signal when a)massive deceleration is experienced or b) exposed to salt water.
I can buy that one or 2 would have failed to activate properly, but not all of them.

I'm afraid this won't be very interesting until they release some solid leads. I'm starting to think it'll be a long time before we get a solid breaking update.
The worst part is the grief and sorrow the families must be dealing with - unimaginable.

This "search" is starting to resemble a snipe hunt. As someone else pointed out, these false leads have to be hard on the families.

until they find wreckage there's still a very good chance this plane was stolen and is sitting in a hanger somewhere....

Must be a big hanger. I wonder how common big hangers are in areas where a plane like this could land without the outside world knowing.
