A passenger plane carrying 229 that left Kuala Lumpar at 11.21 a.m. ET Friday due to arrive in Beijing at 5.30 p.m. ET Friday lost contact over the South China Sea a minute after reaching 35,000 feet.

Probably explosive decompression from all the pressure difference.... maybe they didn't patch up the plane well enough. Planes don't just "lose contact" so suddenly. It's very sad, Malaysia is a good airline with good service

. B772s are getting a lil old though, still shouldn't happen! Hearts go out to the passengers loved ones

And then they later contacted them and they "deconfirmed" that.

its a sad incident. The Navy has NOT found the plane, no information has been confirmed yet. Technically no confirmed deaths, just 239 people missing.

This case is fucking bizarre. Its a 777, a very very safe plane, no idea how it went down.
My hearts go out to all the passengers and hope they are found safely.

Yeah I didn't think I was gonna get these replies, so cool...but the case is REALLY weird, if you add some creepy music in the background it's like a History Channel cold case. Not to disrespect the passengers...it is really sad and a lot of them were my native peoples...

Previous incident also being an Asiana Airlines crash at SFO, my city.

Heard today that one of the family members was able to ring through to phones of people on the plane

Heard the oil slicks they found wasn't typical of a plane but a cargo ship, and the debris they've found was sea trash.

+ Search radius has widened. The only lead they have right now is the two stolen passports, but those passengers booked flights back to Europe after this one...

Shit is Officially: Fucked.

For some reason, I can't give a shit about a missing plane... More people die every hour due to car crashes alone, not even going to mention the rate of people dying due to PREVENTABLE diseases (regardless of the reasons)...

I am however upset that it bumped the standoff, and possible prelude to war developing in the Ukraine from the headlines...

Air travel is supposed to be reliable. Accidents don't just happen on a regular basis. If we had to report every single car crash, wouldn't the news be pretty boring?

Al · « **Reply #13 on:** March 11, 2014, 11:48:32 pm »

Besides people dying, the issue is we don't know why this plane disappeared! If we knew, then we could learn from it. This and the Asiana plane at SFO are supposedly the only two accidents this plane has ever had since it was created, it's not supposed to happen and it's important to know why.

Haha my mom won't shut up about it, but it wasn't really a sudden loss of communication, they apparently were still tracking it with occasional blips for a bit, but after those went silent they don't know how far it could've gotten! I wonder if it finally crashed or it was a highjacking and they hid the plane for a future terrorist attack /:

Mojo · « **Reply #17 on:** March 24, 2014, 04:22:42 pm »

looks like they are now confident it ditched in the southern Indian Ocean

I'm so sick of hearing reports that lead to nowhere. Beginning to think news sites are doing it for more traffic, which is really sick.

First the saw an object on a boat, but it was "too dark." Now they see stuff from satellite or plane and the waves are getting big.

Can't believe how long this took. Unlucky deaths.

Al · « **Reply #20 on:** March 25, 2014, 02:33:57 am »

I think the Malaysian government could have handled it better. Apparently they didn't release the Malay airliners' info as quick enough. Maybe it would have helped if they did. And if they're the only ones that have the info, how can others verify?
