Plane missing with 236 people on board

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2014-03-08/malaysia-airlines-lost-contact-with-plane/5307888

 

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.

Re: Plane missing with 236 people on board

If you wanted to avoid detection in a plane would you fly around in another countries airspace or fly off out to sea far away

 

from anybodies airspace???

 

The fact that the plane was (eventually) detected and identified by Malaysian and now possibly Indoneasion military

 

authorities means...obviously..... that it did not avoid detection.

 

That neither airforce sent a plane to have a look at the time of detection is indeed baffling???

Sat Mar 8, 2014 4:14pm EST

Flight MH370 last had contact with air traffic controllers 120 nautical miles off the east coast of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu. Flight tracking website flightaware.com showed it flew northeast after takeoff, climbed to 35,000 feet and was still climbing when it vanished from tracking records.

March 8

VN Express, Vietnam's largest news site, reports that Vietnam Emergency Rescue Center just announced it has found signal of the missing plane at 9.50am 120 miles South West of Ca Mau cape, the Southern-most point of Vietnam.

The signal is believed to be the ELT (Emergency Locator Transmittor) , which can be activated manually by the flight crew or automatically upon impact.

UPDATE : Tuoi Tre, a leading daily in Vietnam, reports that the Vietnamese Navy has confirmed the plane crashed into the ocean. According to Navy Admiral Ngo Van Phat, Commander of the Region 5, military radar recorded that the plane crashed into the sea at a location 153 miles South of Phu Quoc island.

March 12

The images were captured around 11 a.m. on March 9, the day after the plane went missing, but weren't released until Wednesday.

The Chinese agency gave coordinates of 105.63 east longitude, 6.7 north latitude, which would put it in waters northeast of where it took off in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and south of Vietnam, near where the South China Sea meets the Gulf of Thailand.

An explanation appeared to come Tuesday when a senior Malaysian Air Force official told CNN that the Air Force had tracked the plane to a spot near the small island of Palau Perak off Malaysia's west coast in the Strait of Malacca.

 paintswe007:Have you scientists and experts and pontificating magicians found the plane and all on board yet monnie?

 

muggsey65: Monman I seriously would like to know what you think happened?

 
Far be it from me to speak for monman, but he really doesn't have to give an explanation or reason for what may have happened. 
That's like demanding I explain how my car engine works when I say I don't believe someones statement that it runs on 2 elastic bands and a paddle pop stick.

Nobody "has" to give reasons or explanations, Lurks, although Monno's done plenty of that. However after Monno's avid and often insulting debunkment on other's opinions it would be interesting his theory on what my have happened. That's all.

Re: Plane missing with 236 people on board

You have missed my point. 

There is no sense in me trying to have a reasonable discussion about the workings of the internal combustion engine while the 2 elastic bands and a paddle pop stick theory is in the equation.  Which, btw, might at any moment morph into 3 ducks and a pigeon blowing hot air.

"...Laser weapons usually generate brief high-energy pulses. A one megajoule laser pulse delivers roughly the same energy as 200 grams of high explosive, and has the same basic effect on a target. The primary damage mechanism is mechanical shear, caused by reaction when the surface of the target is explosively evaporated.[citation needed]"...

We know these things for certain:
Those responsible are terrorists fully sanctioned by multiple governments with broad control over the international press
The willingness to do something this brazen is very real proof this isn’t the first time. It brings everything claimed to have occurred on 9/11/2001 not only in question but clearly establishes both capability and intent. If “they” did it now, they did it then and will do it again if “they” wish.
Recent plans for terrorist attacks against Ukrainian Air Force facilities, as outlined in emails intercepted and published by “Anonymous Ukraine” show identical intent and nearly identical capability.

to monman.
Well, I think you are just full of it.
All you do is come on here in these discussion threads and verbally defeacate on people's opinions and you appear to revel in your continued, feeble attempts to defame any poster who dares to put forward a non-mainstream opinion.
You never say anything original yourself and you rarely express an opinion about a subject.
You are an expert in hurling abuse, that's all you can do well it seems.
....and most of your scientific 'quips' have deviant holes in them.You twist and turn real science to fit your angle at every opportunity, often leaving out important facts if these facts detract from your argument.
You would be an embarrassment to the real world of science if you represented any arm of it IMO.

No you've missed my point.

I don't question the methods of finding the lost plane, as in your analogy of the workings your car engine as against paddle pop sticks and a rubber band.

 

 How would I know?

 

What intrigues me is that, with all our knowledge and sophisicated technology, we still haven't found the plane.

 

I'd be interested in Monno's (learned) opinion. That's all.

 

Which, as you've quite rightly pointed out, he is under no obligation to give.
