YANGON, Myanmar — A military transport plane with 104 people on board — 14 crew members and passengers who were mostly relatives of Myanmar soldiers — disappeared after taking off Wednesday afternoon from an air base in the southern part of the country, military officials said.

The navy and air force mobilized ships and planes to search for the aircraft in the area near Myike Air Base, about 350 miles south of the country’s commercial capital, Yangon, the office of the commander in chief, Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, said in a statement. The plane, a Chinese-made Y-8, was en route to Yangon.

It doesn’t have anything to do with Trump.

So I doubt it. But it might be worth a shot.

If it disappeared, how can they see the wreckage? Just curious. :)

Lots of things on/in an aircraft float.

Yes, but if they disappeared, how can they see them?

Don;t really know if ‘everything’ disappeared. Even one floating life vest would be sufficient to approximate crash location.
