UPDATE [12:37]: 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.
When contacted, Malaysia Airlines declined to confirm or deny the reports, saying that the Malaysian authorities are working together with the Vietnamese government on the matter.
Meanwhile, Al Jazeera reports that China has dispatched two maritime rescue ships to help locate the missing plane.

If it went straight down into the sea I would think parts of it would come up by now, maybe seats from the plane or the tail or something..it would have had to take a pretty large bomb to explode a plane with such force that the pilot and co-pilot never had a chance to react, no distress call, no mayday call, no nothing
I assumed that stolen passports might be tracked in some database that airlines would routinely access. Why is this not the case!
Had Richard Reid succeeded in bringing down AA 63, I’m not so sure we’d know his name today.
Conspiracy theorist alert; You got that right. All Hands On Deck! I just got back from 711, bought myself two rolls of Tinfoil to make new Brain Protectors, just for me!!
Speaking of satellites, aren’t there cameras up there watching everything...all the time?
Losing an entire wing at 500 knots= FOOOM!
It was probably flying in excess of 500 kts. The aerodynamic forces would be incredible. Any structural instability and it would be over, in a cataclysmic way. The plane would be shredded. Look at kamikaze footage.
Speaking about this on Judge Jeannine with guests.
Having traveled in that part of the world I'd point out two things to you:
1) Malaysia,and nearby Indonesia,have large moslem majorities.The Bali were,IIRC,Indonesian. 2) Possible explanations for a passport SNAFU...a computer malfunction,not surprising in one of the most primitive regions in the world...or collusion by one or more moslem sympathizers working the passport/check in desk.
Yes, gravity is not a friend of the humanoid species.
I wish I could get .22 ammo. None in fifteen months.
brick after brick after brick up here in Alberta, come on up.
All of this speculation reminded me of this great line in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off:
“My best friends sisters boyfriends brothers girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who’s going with a girl who saw ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night”
I went to your beautiful province last August. I do remember paying $25 for a can of snuff that in Texas cost $5. How much is a brick up there? When you could get them here, they were $20.
I am grateful for gravity every day. I can’t breathe in space. ;-]
I thought they used the phones provided on the planes.
Not to mention the lack of atmosphere and it being absolute zero...
Good analogy! When someone uses a seven mile run on sentence like that, it makes perfect sense to the one doing the talking. The listener may have to resplice and recalibrate.
