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.

So, Paints, what EXACTLY is  your theory - all I can make out from your posts is a mish-mash of conflicting scenarios with no logical explanation for any of them.

 

So far you have suggested:

 

1) The plane wasv vapourised.

2) The Malaysian  authorities know what happened to it but are hiding the truth

3) the FBI are running a disinformation campaign

4) Several countries have refused to divulge information about passenger's backgrounds

5) US military have refused to provide radar data.

6) 'Warships' have secretly gathered  All the debris from the supposedly vapourised plane and are hiding it.

7) The Australian Government  is refusing to release data from Pine Gap

😎 The Australian Government is giving out false information as part of a global conspiracy to conceal the truth

 

You can see why we are just a tad confused.

Sounds hopeful. One object is thought to be 24 metres long, which is bigger than a wayward shipping containing.

I'm not familiar with the ocean currents, but it has had a lot of time to drift.

The plane went off-course very early in its flight, az.. thats the problem.. no-one knows where it went when it was flying around for up to 7 hours after it lost contact.

 

 

The press conference has been told that it is not uncommon to find debris in the ocean. It can be containers from ships falling overboard, for example.

But the size and the fact that a number of objects were located in one area give credence to the idea it may be debris from MH370, AMSA says.
