    I know that, statistically, flying is safer than driving....

    I'm still horrified every time I get onto a plane.

    This is extremely odd.... would think that if it was a crash their would have been communications to the airliner it must have happened very suddenly

    As a fellow pilot it is always a bit extra heartwrenching whenever you hear of something like this.
    My thoughts are with the families of everyone onboard.

    I'm pretty sure that's the worst accident on record so far.

    Yeah it was Tenerife, my grandmother lives there she still remembers when it happened.

    It's a shame about the flight, unfortunately at this point I fear the worst. If they had done an emergency landing it would have been reported by now. Hopefully if they crash landed it wasn't a rough landing and people where able to survive.

    possibly.... i find it doubtful though, if it was in the water definitely not and if on land i would imagine at least 1 survivor could find a cellphone signal

    Malaysia Airlines confirms that flight MH370 had lost contact with Subang Air Traffic Control at 2.40am, today. There has been speculation that the aircraft has landed at Nanming. We are working to verify the authenticity of the report and others.

    Flight MH370 was operated on a Boeing 777-200 aircraft. It departed Kuala Lumpur at 12.41 am earlier this morning bound for Beijing. The aircraft was scheduled to land at Beijing International Airport at 6.30am local Beijing time.

    The flight was carrying a total number of 239 passengers and crew – comprising 227 passengers (including 2 infants), 12 crew members. The passengers were of 14 different nationalities - citizens from:-
    1. China – 152 plus 1 infant

    2. Malaysia - 38

    3. Indonesia - 12

    4. Australia - 7

    5. France - 3

    6. United States of America – 3 pax plus 1 infant

    7. New Zealand - 2

    8. Ukraine - 2

    Nanming? That's a "little" off course, well actually on course i suppose just a bit short, it would also contradict China saying the plane never entered it's air space and blaming it on Vietnam if true

    Vietnamese found it. It's in the ocean 138 miles southwest of the coast.

    MSNBC is a joke, during their coverage of Ukraine and Crimea the map of the area listed Czechoslovakia as a country
