Prayers for all....hope they find out what really happened....
All it would take is a shoe bomb and the plane would immediately de-pressurize and that would be it while flying at 35000 ft.
One thing I noticed tonight - how exceedingly rare these are (assuming it is an accident). Seems like 20-30 years ago there was a major crash every several months compared to now when I had trouble remembering the last total loss of life - 2009 I think.
Let’s see if we can get up to 1,000 replies on a thread about something nobody known anything about!
Sure is hard to find real-time news; the talking heads and idiotic commercials drown it all.
If you haven’t seen this yet. Thoughts?
Prayers...May the Lord comfort all.
BEIJING (AP) — Vietnamese media reported that authorities have detected signals from a missing Malaysia Airlines flight off the southwestern coast of Vietnam on Saturday, hours after the flight went missing during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Website VN Express said a Vietnamese search and rescue official reported that the signals were detected from about 120 nautical miles (140 miles; 225 kilometers) southwest of Vietnam’s southernmost Ca Mau province.
with CNN on the air at most airports,you got to wonder how Wolfe Blitzer is reporting it.

No radio contact that they were in trouble - sounds like a catastrophic incident disabling ability to transmit ...
Just turned on FoxNews this morning and catching up on the overnight developments.
They were interviewing aviation person, Scott Hamilton.
At the end of the interview, he was asked, based on the evidence/information so far, what he conjectured to have happened.
He said ‘some criminal action’.
Apparently, the plane lost contact about 2 hours into the flight but continued to fly for a while.
“For all communication to suddenly cease without a distress signal usually indicates a catastrophic failure of the aircraft , not allowing time for the crew to communicate either by radio or through the aircraft transponder. Modern airliners have multiple radios for voice communication and the transponder can be used to send signals that indicate different problems with the aircraft (for example a discrete code for hijacking).”

MILAN (AP) — Foreign ministry officials in Rome and Vienna confirm that names of two nationals listed on the manifest of the missing Malaysian airlines flight match passports reported stolen in Thailand.
Italy’s Foreign Ministry said Saturday that an Italian man whose name was listed as being aboard is traveling in Thailand and was not aboard the plane.
A foreign ministry functionary, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed Italian reports that Luigi Maraldi had reported his passport stolen last August.
Italian news agency ANSA says Maraldi called home after hearing reports that an Italian with his name was aboard the plane.
A Boeing 777 plane missing feared crashed off the coast of Vietnam was involved in an accident in 2012.
The missing Malaysia Airlines aircraft is believed to be the same that crashed into the tail of another plane at Pudong International Airport in Shanghai.

Just heard 20 of the people on the Maylasian flight that went down worked for Freescale. Called my sister who works for Freescale in Austin and said she didn’t know of any locals that were traveling in those areas. Said there are many Freescale employees in China. Just dang.
