Flight from Malaysia to Beijing with 239 on board has crashed, remains not found

There's rumors on twitter that it has been found crashed in Vietnam seawater. I hope that's not true. :(

If he did
then he would be up for Outright Murder


[On that flight : 153 Chinese nationals,
38 Malaysians, 12 Indonesians,
seven Australians, four Americans,
two New Zealanders, two Ukrainians,
two Canadians, one Russian,
one Austrian, one Italian,
one Taiwanese and one Dutch citizen.]


[If the plane is found to have crashed,
the loss would mark the second fatal
accident involving a Boeing 777
in less than a year,
after an unblemished safety
record since the jet entered service in 1995.]

And people say air travel is so safe, there are so many unreported crashed. I am dreading flying to America especially since American Airlines look like they are made out of tin foil.

The fact this plane went missing 2 hours into its flight scares the hell out of me, most people are afraid of taking off and landing but it can happen anytime and your up in the air for hours. Scary.

Hope there are survivors but not looking promising is it :(

Don't Jinx me, ive already had 1 close call!

Mirror are confirming its crashed now after someone spotted a large oil spill in the area. Its gotta be pitch black out at see as its night there so obviously that makes it 100 times harder for any search for survivors, poor people.

Compare the number of plane crashes to the number of flights that safely take off and land every day, week, month, year and it's really not worth worrying over. Air travel, just like any other kind of transport, is prone to accidents, yes, but not every plane crash is a fiery death trap with no survivors - plenty of planes land in water and people manage to make it out alive. It's just that it makes for sensational headlines to make planes seem really dangerous. They aren't.

It's also because it "seems" more scary to plummet from the sky than to die in crash, but the reality is, you are more ar risk every time you get into a car than you are boarding a plane. A plane crash seems more dramatic than a 70mph car crash but, let's face it, in either scenario you're just as dead.

very sad news. but what really pisses me of is the photos going around on the news threads of the poor woman on her knees crying and a circle of press around her taking photos. disgusting world we live in.

Do you realise how many planes take off every minute of the day , 7 days a week, 365 days a year?

:rolleyes:

It is incredibly safe. Your unfounded irrational fear should be left at home

Out of all the people involved in modern crashes/air accidents, 96% of them lived.

Huh, Austria and Italy are saying their people are accounted for because their passports have been stolen...

Uh oh.

Heard about this earlier on, first thought was how the hell does a plane 'go missing' :umm2:

Saph 08-03-2014 11:01 PM

the plane possibly going missing is part of the anticipation when your riding

Gstar 09-03-2014 12:06 AM

saw this on the news today, if they suspected that two people had stolen passports what's the point in saying it now?

Maybe terrorism could be the reason,

Malaysia is a religious country, maybe they (as in the 2 stolen passports guys) tried to hijack the plane.

For whatever reason it went down low
on the sea
thats below radar.
So because it was picked up normal one
minute ,the next minute it went down low.



Thats why some say it could be terrorist.
Of course until its found under water or land
we will not know.
