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

http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26492748

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

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

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.

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



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.

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.
