Malaysia Airlines says one of its planes has gone missing on the way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.
A statement from the airline says flight MH370 lost contact with air traffic controllers at 2:40am local time, just over two hours into the flight.
The plane, a Boeing 777-200, left Kuala Lumpur at 12:41am on Saturday, and had been due to arrive in Beijing at 6:30am local time.
The company says the plane was carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, and 12 crew members.
The airline says it is contacting the next-of-kin of all passengers and crew, which includes people of 13 different nationalities.
In a statement on the airline's website, group chief executive officer Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said the airline was working with authorities to locate the aircraft.
"Focus of the airline is to work with the emergency responders and authorities and mobilise its full support," the statement said.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected passengers and crew and their family members."
The airline says it will provide regular updates on its website.
The ABC understand Malaysia Airlines will hold a press conference on the incident shortly.

to the_great_she_elephant: who says
"So the Chinese sent 8 top defense scientists to check the system and agreed to pay millions for it...."
Very possible

Have you scientists and experts and pontificating magicians found the plane and all on board yet monnie?

I apologise, Paints - I got it wrong. - After the mods had finished with that post, it really did read as if you were the one who said she was going to' wait and see.'
And by the same token I did NOT say "So the Chinese sent 8 top defense scientists to check the system and agreed to pay millions for it...." That was something you C&Ped and I quoted.
And far from agreeing with it, my post made it quite clear that I considered it a load of bulldust.

Different news reports tonight announced that a Chinese ship has detected 2 different sets of 'pings' in the Southern Ocean......
another report announced earlier stated that Chinese have detected 3 different sets of pings.........
maybe they have found 3 schools of dolphins?

"maybe they have found 3 schools of dolphins?"
But 007 you have stated that locating a USB would be easy, but never explained why, so do it.
You have stated that I called this tragic event an "accident", but never proved it. So do so.
The rest of your posts are as reliable as your above comments but also just nutty conspiracy theories lacking any technical credibility. One of your earlier posts: "It was shot down plain and simple. As soon as the trailing "boogie" let it's "birds fly" and received that it got a confirmed hit, it turned off it's APX-72 IFF Transponder and POOF! Disappeared." is breathtaking in apropos aviation operational procedures.
However I think lurker17260 expressed what I also think:
There are real people waiting for real news about their loved ones and you are running around the Internet looking for fairy tales.
It's ghoulish and frankly quite disgusting.

No but they do have boats and ships searching in what scientists believe is the correct area
.....ie....like this paint and sew
The purple track was the Inmarsat satellite track that was used. The inmarsat satellites are not designed to track planes
they are designed to send a signal so that Inmarsat can confirm that their systems onboard the plane are operating
correctly.......; wobble wobble....
However using a type of triangulation calculus Inmarsat was able to define to possible flight paths that MH370 had
taken. Hence the search moved from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean
...... wobble wobble bang... ping...pong ..
I thought I would add a pong because of the chinese connection
(and the fruitcake theories in this thread appear a little on the nose).
You will notice how close the purple track from the inmarsat satellite trajectory is to the red lines in the picture below
"wobble wobble ping pong"
a cut and paste below
" Basically, Inmarsat 4-F1โฒs longitude wobbles slightly during its orbit.
This wobble, if you know what youโre looking for, creates enough variation in the Doppler shift that objects moving and north and south have slightly different frequencies.
(If it didnโt wobble, the Doppler shift would be identical for both routes.)
Inmarsat says that it looked at the satellite pings of other flights that have taken similar paths, and confirmed that the
Doppler shift measurements for MH370โฒs pings show an โextraordinary matchingโ for the southern projected arc over the
Indian Ocean. "
I believe a midflight fire caused MH370s flight crew to turn around and head for the nearest airport.
I believe that the fire once discovered had already progressed to a point whereby it had disabled the communications
systems
I believe the fire eventually disabled the crew through oxygen deprivation.
The plane then flew on autopilot at its last programmed heading until it ran out of fuel and dropped into the sea.
I believe that for nearly a week a large debris fiels existed but unfortunately Malaysia was searching in the wrong area.
I believe that by the time Malaysia, Australia China and other countries started to search in (what is hoped to be) the
right area the debris had either sunk or had floated away.
How about you Paint and sew what do you think happened to the plane ????

Update:
Missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 flew around Indonesia airspace; Second
signal heard in black box search
THE missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 may have flown around Indonesian airspace on the night it disappeared, in what may have been a deliberate attempt to avoid radar detection.
CNN reported a senior Malaysian government source saying that the missing jet made the detour after it had left the range of Malaysian military radar.
The latest details emerged as new satellite calculations put the likely location of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 in the same spot where Chinese patrol vessel Haixun 01 detected deep water acoustic sounds on two consecutive days.

Chris Goodfellows guess below on the links... I think it is plausable....much more plausable then alien abduction,
hijacking for the mother lode or vaporization from a quasi military group that seeks not only mass annihilation but a
new chemtrail plane.......
http://www.hellou.com/2014/03/veteran-pilot-explains-theory-flight-mh370-makes-perfect-sense-3147/
Here is an article that tries to debunk Chris Goodfellows explanation from above......... Can you see the crucial
information that is missing????? ie the debunkers names???
they are anonymously a "another commercial pilot and a former NTSB investigator"
anonymous "debunkers" do not in essence float my boat
( I found a few other debunkers of the theory.... but not one authors name)
"Writing to news website Business Insider to challenge the hypothesis put forward by pilot Chris Goodfellow that the Beijing-bound plane was lost to a fire, the commercial pilot said reactions of those flying the plane was not consistent conflagration on the plane."
"Yesterday, a former US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigator also discounted the theory that was gaining traction among some aviation circles, saying that pilots would have sufficient warning to avoid the proposed scenario."
