Anyone Hear About A Malaysian Air Crash?

I read about it on another site that they lost contact with a Malaysian Air 777 about 3:30 am. They were supposed to land about 5:30 am.

There is absolutely nothing on the news about this crash. Or....if the plane didn't crash!

It was lost over Vietnam the airline said.

Search and rescue mission is currently ongoing. This will probably not end well.

Just heard about it on the news. Going from Lampur to Beijing.

CBS News

Apparently two passengers boarded using stolen passports from an Austrian and an Italian who are not on the aircraft and accounted for elsewhere.

There were no emergency radio calls. I hope they are able to recover the black boxes.

Don't those black boxes send out a "ping" for 30 days. If so can't they home in on the signal?

With no distress call going out, only one of three things could have happened:

1. Sudden explosion due to some type of mechanical failure (like an electric spark setting off fuel).

2. Planted bomb.

3. External missile

They are scouring airport video to see if they can find the people with the stolen passports who checked in.

Prayers to the families. We might never know the full details.

Now they are saying the oil slick may have nothing to do with the air craft.
