Malaysian 777 enroute to Beijing missing!

Stolen passport? Where's that being reported?

Godspeed to the families.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
