The authorities have begun a search and rescue for Malaysia Airlines (MAS) flight MH370 after the Beijing-bound plane lost contact with air traffic controllers this morning, the airline said today.

MAS said flight MH370 lost contact with Subang Air Traffic Control at 2.40am.

The B777-200 aircraft left the Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 12.41am and was expected to land in Beijing at 6.30am.

"The flight was carrying 227 passengers (including two infants), 12 crew members," the airline said in a statement.

"Malaysia Airlines is currently working with the authorities who have activated their search and rescue team to locate the aircraft," it added.

However, a website said the flight landed at 6.10am, but MAS issued its statement at 7.45am.– March 8, 2014.


Considering the recent 'terror' attacks in China, this could be something else?!

Oh crap, this isnt good.

What is it with all the aviation accidents recently, say it often enough and you can sneak some extra ones in too?

I hope they land safely where every they are, just be a faulty transponder/radio/stuff.

Well China has been flexing is military muscle in different parts of the world. Trying to strike deals in Africa for military bases the last time I heard.

It's not unreasonable that some organizations are going to start targeting Chinese assets within and outside of Mainland China.

Its hard not to "get the feeling" its all going to kick off big time, soon.

I dont think of my self of a doomsayer for WIII tinfoil helmet, but the sheer amount of aggression being shown around the world in the past year, its getting crazy.

North Korea will surely be to blame after reports of near miss of a missile and a passenger plane just a week ago. I hope that everyone is ok, but it does not look good. Airliners do not just "go missing" without usually crashing

You do know that planes have crashed since day 1 right?
The will continue to crash at a much smaller rate then just about any other form of mass transportation.

I hope for the sake of anyone on the plane that it has not crashed but if it did, based on the info presented , a much more likely scenario is it suffered some mechanical or human failure vs IllumiNSAMasons blowing it up to start the NWO.

With due respect, the conjecture should wait until the facts are in surely. Lumping this indecent in with any nefarious concepts at this point is jumping the gun. There are any number of reasons aircraft disappear and the top of the list should be, at this time, finding the facts before jumping to conclusions.

I appreciate that but at the same time if it has gone down The reasons are still unclear. It may well have been downed by terrorists or a missile but it may have also been due to pilot error, weather or mechanical failure and without further discoveries and reports we just don't know.

Here are the specs on that aircraft, if anyone is interested. Here is hoping for the outside chance of a freak explanation other than accident and crash.

Boeing 777-200

It's more likely it crashed considering the time frame.

Sorry I wanted to include that in my last post.

I thought airports track the planes in real time with GPS these days, surly they have the exact location where communication ceased.

In January 2010, a Chinese submarine launched an ICBM off Los Angeles coast line...which is the Military Industrial Complex Headquarters front porch.
So there will be a direct response by TPTB some day...plenty of in-direct response has occurred since the incident.

Occam agrees.. No information other than contact with the plane lost , jump to a retaliatory attack by TPTB.

I know this wasnt a Dream liner plane, but is there any coincidence that Boeing is coming out today and saying that their Dreamliner planes have "hairline" cracks in them and they are investigating? Could be a possible cause though.

Here a picture of the plane itself,



Registered on 31-05-02 so not that old unless it was second hand.

Linky

Wrabbit just read your link,so if this type of plane first came out in 1990 then
the one that's gone missing could the plane be up to 24 years old as being Registered
in 2002 with Malaysia airline might mean that's when they first started using it ?

I really don't know anything about planes sorry.

Lost communications happen all the time. International flights aren't tracked by radar, they report in by waypoint as they go. It's up to the plane to report their position.
