May the departed rest in peace. I wonder what the reason of this crash could be as Malaysian Airline is otherwise very good.
The plane hasn't been found yet is it? From what I read online it's still missing.
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
uff I myself have travelled through Malaysian air lines, I am scared.
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
It's still missing.. I have been driving my self insane ''googling'' for updates every 30 mins can't even imagine what the family/friends of passengers are going through :( so extremely sad..
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
I don't think it has been found yet and they haven't ruled out terrorism yet. Two people traveled using stolen passports so it is a big possibility that these two individuals had malicious intent.
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
No distress call from the plane I believe...
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
This thing has me freaked out. I've read somewhere that Vietnamese navy has detected something 100 km off shore.

Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
This is painful. I pray that its terrorism or something like that and not a crash and plane has safely landed somewhere and all the passengers are alive and unharmed otherwise
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
^ i have been hoping for that too. however, it's very unlikely that the plane has landed anywhere. if it did, i am sure it would be tracked somehow by the radar.. cant imagine what families are going through.
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
I remember a similar incident in which my class teacher's husband and little son were killed in a plane crash en-route Gilgit. The wreckage was never found, one can only imagine what the family would have gone through.

Vanished Malaysia plane an ‘aviation mystery’ - Asia-Pacific - Al Jazeera English
The disappearance of a Malaysian jetliner is an “unprecedented aviation mystery”, a senior official said on Monday, with a massive air and sea search now in its third day failing to find any confirmed trace of the plane or the 239 people aboard.
The head of Malaysia’s Civil Aviation Authority, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, said a hijacking attempt could not be ruled out as investigators explore all theories for the loss of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 en route to Beijing.
“Unfortunately we have not found anything that appears to be objects from the aircraft, let alone the aircraft,” he told a news conference.
“As far as we are concerned, we have to find the aircraft, we have to find a piece of the aircraft if possible.”
As dozens of ships and aircraft from seven countries scour the seas around Malaysia and south of Vietnam, questions mounted over possible security lapses and whether a bomb or hijacking attempt could have brought down the Boeing 777-200ER airliner.
The passenger manifest issued by the airline included the names of two Europeans - Austrian Christian Kozel and Italian Luigi Maraldi - who were not on the plane.
Their passports had been stolen in Thailand during the past two years.
An Interpol spokeswoman said a check of all documents used to board the plane had revealed more “suspect passports”, which were being investigated.
“Whilst it is too soon to speculate about any connection between these stolen passports and the missing plane, it is clearly of great concern that any passenger was able to board an international flight using a stolen passport listed in Interpol’s databases,” Interpol Secretary General Ronald Noble said.
Hopes for a breakthrough rose briefly when Vietnam scrambled helicopters to investigate a floating yellow object it was thought could have been a life raft.
But the country’s Civil Aviation Authority said on its website that the object turned out to be a “moss-covered cap of a cable reel”.
Flight MH370 disappeared from radar screens in the early hours of Saturday, about an hour into its flight from Kuala Lumpur, after climbing to a cruising altitude of 35,000ft.

A US Navy P-3 aircraft capable of covering 1,500 sq miles every hour was sweeping the northern part of the Strait of Malacca, on the other side of the Malaysian peninsula from where the last contact with MH370 was made.
“Our aircraft are able to clearly detect small debris in the water, but so far it has all been trash or wood,” said US 7th Fleet spokesman Commander William Marks in an emailed statement.
No distress signal was sent from the lost plane, which experts said suggested a sudden catastrophic failure or explosion, but Malaysia’s air force chief said radar tracking showed it may have turned back from its scheduled route before it disappeared.
A senior source involved in preliminary investigations in Malaysia told Reuters news agency the failure to quickly find any debris indicated the plane may have broken up mid-flight, which could disperse wreckage over a very wide area.
“The fact that we are unable to find any debris so far appears to indicate that the aircraft is likely to have disintegrated at around 35,000 feet,” said the source.
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
My understanding is, if it was a case of hijacking, the plance would've been tracked by now. The case looks very similiar to French Airline that went missing en route to Brazil in 2009. The wreckage was found on the sea bed of Atlantic Ocean, after two years of investigation.
I can't even imagine what the families must be going through right now.
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
it could have been a case of 'hijacking gone wrong' [two passengers were traveling on a stolen passport from one of the European countries]. it's quite possible that a scuffle broke out in the cockpit/cabin and which led to the crash.
The Air France crash was due to a very minor mechanical fault that led to a chain of events which caused the the mysterious crash.
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
Maybe an army (Vietnam's navy) shot the plan down and now they're all silent and stuff.
Aliens.
Terrorists blew up the plane sky high.
Plane hit the ocean in one piece so maybe debris are in sort of a condensed space.
What blows my mind is why is there no GPS in the blackbox or something that releases sonar. Can't even imagine what the families are going through.
Re: Malaysian Airline crashes in south China Sea
So so so sad. NOTHING at all has been found yet and it has been 3 days.
