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.

Of course it crashed into the ocean. Do people really think it or rendezvoused with an air refueling tanker and has been orbiting somewhere for 2 days?
Yes but the jihad is not a homogeneous fixation. Much like snake handlers and speakers in tongues are not homogeneous to Christianity
It could have crashed on land. We are getting reports now that radar SUPPOSEDLY shows (I don’t completely trust any of the reports in this) it turned back toward the airport, so they are supposedly going to expand search area.
Blank page at link. Anybody know why?
I’ll venture some things are not fool proof? Maybe site down?
Thanks, I’ll try later.
Now there may have been 4 passengers with illegal or stolen passports.
Of course, there is nothing to see. Keep on moving and listening to more news about Gays coming out of the closet to play in a pro sport.

Four possibly flew with false ID aboard missing Malaysia Airlines plane

Saturday European officials indicated two of the people on board were using passports that had been stolen in Thailand. On Sunday Malaysias transport minister, Hishammuddin Hussein, said Malaysian intelligence officials were also checking the identities of two other passengers, according to The Associated Press.
All the four names are with me and have been given to our intelligence agencies, Hishammuddin said, according to The AP. We do not want to target only the four; we are investigating the whole passenger manifest. We are looking at all possibilities.
Maybe this time, the results will not be whitewashed. Clinton is no longer ruling America.
“This is my question, I am no bomb expert, but I would think that if this plane was bombed, there would be pieces of the plane everywhere in the sea, luggage, pieces of the plane, bodies, something..how come they cant find anything that is what is stumping me.”
They may have found debris.

It is looking more and more like it came apart at 35,000 ft. Spreading out the debris field over a very large area.

Jihad is the core of Islam. Without jihad there is no Islam.
You think Obama is more honest than Clinton? After all the whitewashing of jihadis he’s done ever since he came into office?
This happened abroad and involved foreign companies, so he may not be able to hush it up entirely.
Look at my posting history about Obozo. If you feel that I feel that Obama is more honest that Clintoon, you have an interpretation problem.
Your last statement is the reality that Obozo has to face.

Here's the pic that has been released of potential debris seen by the Vietnamese aircraft:
Not sure why Indonesia keeps getting brought into this, given that apart from seven Indonesian citizens (probably Christians) being aboard the plane this story has diddly squat to do with Indonesia. Any security lapses or other related issues appear to lie at the door of Malaysia, China and Thailand.
Just for the record Indonesia’s passport analysis is far from “primitive” in fact it is much more rigorous and thorough than in many western countries where a bored official usually just waves people through with a cursory glance at documents. Indonesia like neighboring Singapore subjects each passport to a computer check which brings every detail up on screen for the officer examining it. The officer spends usually about three to five minutes with each arriving passenger, often longer, the queues for each flight can take an hour or two.
Trust me there are far, far fewer illegal immigrants in Indonesia than there are in the US. The punishments for being an illegal alien are a lot tougher.
For the record I don’t believe the stolen passports are related to the loss of the plane. Why would a suicide bomber who knows he is going to die care about being identified? Why would he book onward flights? The passports were stolen in Thailand, the tickets were bought in Thailand the onward flights were to Amsterdam. I am guessing they were drug smuggling.
The only reason *I* mention Indonesia is because it's a neighbor of Malaysia and is,from what I've seen,rather similar to Malaysia in many ways.I've seen no evidence suggesting that Indonesia,or Indonesians,are involved in this crash,whatever its cause.

I have passed through Indonesian and Singaporian immigration/customs twice and Malaysian immigration once.Of course that doesn't make me an expert on the functioning of any of them but passing through Singaporian immigration was far more reminiscent of going through British...Canadian....or US immigration than were my contacts with Indonesia or Malaysia.*Those* experiences were,for me,far more reminiscent of contacts I've had with Vietnamese,Indian and Tanzanian immigration stations.
It is possible that the two with the stolen passports were drug mules or so they thought.
If it was an act of terrorism, the scenario might go like this. If the terrorists were suicidal, they would kill the pilot and co-pilot and bank the plane straight down into the sea.
Nobody would be able to talk on a cell phone in that G-force plunge, or even hold onto one.
Also, like the 9/11 plane plunge in Pennsylvania, if it went straight into the water, that would explain why no debris field has been found that would indicate an in-air explosion or break-apart (which would scatter items for many miles, plus fuel (not in a linear pattern).
A missile would leave a major debris field. Rule that out for now. Same for a shoot-down.
Even is the pilot got sick or died, the co-pilot and flight engineer would be able to take over and keep the plane stable.
No known distress calls. That’s the bad sign in all of this.
Supposition: Whatever happened, happened fast and in a deadly manner.
Pray for those lost. It’s going to be a long, sad wait.
Point taken. I still have a feeling it wasn’t the pilot here. Could be wrong, of course.
