Oh man.

Very sad. It's been long overdue to the point it would already been out of fuel even if it was airborne right now. This doesn't look good

Bottom news scroll on FOX says the airline is contacting next-of-kin and crew relatives.

Sad deal. While Fox would be the first to jump to conclusions without the facts, it doesn't look good.

I assume no radar over that sea. If true, the plane is in the water. Damn.

The Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam said the plane had failed to check in as scheduled while it was flying over the sea between Malaysia and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

There is radar coverage all along that route.

Vietnam Navy confirms it crashed into the ocean. They are getting an ELT signal from the aircraft. CPT is very experienced according to the report. FO is a little on the young side. Hopefully there are some survivors but it doesn't look good. God Speed to those that perished.

And you have to quip about news. You're a dousche.

Your right, usually fox just makes ******************** up to support their opposition media business plan.

 

[Capn Butthead]

God Speed. Always sad to see fellow aviators go away.

I hope not but with the stolen passport info being reported it has the scent of terrorism...I hope not will just have to wait and see.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Stolen passport? Where's that being reported?

Godspeed to the families.

 

[Dornier 335]

Some news agencies report that two pax were on board with stolen passports.

 

[Capn Butthead]

As with any news it may be bad info...but 2 passengers who are listed on the manifest are saying they're alive and well and they had their passports stolen a few months ago.

 

[BILL LUMBERG]

Not good.....found it.

Fox is running with that story. Careful inside of 24 hours believing anything you read or hear.

 

[Ex737Driver]

This is starting to sound more and more like they got the underwear bomb thing to work as they wanted. I hope not but stolen passports to hide your identity does not bode well.

You got a point there....it was said as an aside and an observation about all cable news, MSNBC can be just as bad. That said, politics are not appropriate (I thinks it's spelled ****************************** btw)
I'm pretty skeptical about anything the media comes up with, especially initially. But I don't like the sound of a 777 just disappearing without warning and two stolen passports onboard.

Fox News: Senator Lindsay Graham says missing plane is Obama's fault, will hold hearings.

Not to make fun of this sad day.

Lindsay is a redneck stupid politician like herpes he will not go away but stupid people vote him in every time

Sounds like pelosi, Reid, or any Kennedy. You can't fix stupid.

 

[Dumb Pilot]

This is all extremely puzzling to me, the reports are that ATC and the company lost contact at roughly 2 hours into the flight, but the suspected area is about 400NM from Kuala Lumpur???? That's 40 minutes or so into the flight (specially with the prevailing winds that evening) in a 4:50 flight planned, 2 hours into it they would be NE of the Vietnam coast talking to Sanja and being handover to Hong Kong?????

Agreed. Retracted.

 

[trip]

The 2 hours may have been the point in time when it was officially declared MIA. We see data that now shows it was lost about 1 hour out so another hour after that point with no comm and it is officially missing.

 

[Dornier 335]

How good/bad is airport security in KUL?

 

[scoreboardII]

I agree, I think the two hr point is when they declared it missing, they said it was in the process of handing over to Vietnam controllers when it went off radar.
