The Atlantis Airlines plane, which was expected to make a refueling stop in the Bahamas, sent an emergency signal before disappearing from the radar 35 minutes after takeoff on about 3:30 p.m. Monday, said Jose Tomas Perez, director of the Dominican Civil Aviation Institute.

This plane crashed 35 minutes after take off, and there is no evidence to be found. Was this a hijacking? Did the plane crash, or as the story says, just vanish. The fact that there isn't any evidence of a plane crash is puzzling. Even over water there is often enough evidence to distiguish the approximate coordinates of a downed aircraft. Anyway, just thought I'd post this, and see if anyone else finds it interesting.

I would wait and see if any debris surfaces before jumping to any conclusions on this one. Is interesting no mayday called unless I missed it. Have to keep an eye on this story or see if I missed something.
Edit: ah there was an emergency signal sent
