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.

How long had the muslim been flying that intentionally crashed the Egypt airplane?
Right outside NY? There were calendars that depicted it.
Should we be looking at those calendars again?
No matter, the Chinese are the victim here, and I expect they know whodunit and are rounding up those related to those whodunits.

Sad. I bet he has a family.
More on the stolen passports, which were apparently used to board the plane.
US. officials told NBC News on Saturday that they are investigating terrorism concerns after revelations that two people apparently boarded the missing Malaysia Airlines jetliner with stolen passports.
The officials said that they had found no clear link to terrorism. There are other criminal reasons, for example drug smuggling, that stolen passports might be used to board a plane.

There would be some telemetry of a ‘still alive’ aircraft. This flight ended in a flash, as in kaboom flash instantly. Probably rectal bombs or implanted body bombs.
Conspricacy theorist alert
How could they know TODAY that 2 people were traveling on stolen passports but that was unknown YESTERDAY when these 2 tried to board with those passports? I’m completely mystified by that.
You raise an interesting question.
speculation is not illegal. But if you get stupid about it then people are going to call you on it. The nonsense that the Chinese shot it down with an electromagnetic weapon is utterly preposterous. anybody posting that should be embarrassed and have to pay a double contribution on the FR fundraiser.
You’re telling me.
Not to mention many other features.
“How could they know TODAY that 2 people were traveling on stolen passports but that was unknown YESTERDAY”
Apparently they tried to contact the family members and found out the people were still alive. They were then told that their passports had been lost/stolen.
Many of them used seat phones. Don’t recall if all. And it may be that the jackasses were flying rather low.
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 can’t find anything that is what is stumping me
Just my two cents, of course, but I think some attention might be paid to the possibility of a wing root failure of the wing damaged in 2012. I heard one expert, on the television, say that the impact in that incident was enough to knock the vertical stabiliser off an A340. The B777 wing tip was, I am sure, repaired to the satisfaction of BOEING engineers, underwriters, and the Malaysian authorities. Presumably, the entire wing and root structure were exhaustively examined and pronounced OK.
But is it not possible that the impact caused a molecular separation or hot spot in the root that was not visible or detected using dye penetrants, or whatever process the inspectors would use for that purpose? If the root were not re-inspected on a continual basis, a crack may have developed and expanded from this hot spot.
Do you know how many spars the B777 wing uses? Could a crack in the leading edge of the wing root eventually cause the spars to fail?
Losing an entire wing at 500 knots could be so tumultuous as to preclude the pilots’ getting off any transmission, as they would be overwhelmed with trying (in vain) to stabilise the ship.
The investigation will probably take some time, partly because authorities would have to find wreckage and perform forensics tests. In the crash of TWA Flight 800, in 1996, it took more than a year to rule out terrorism.
Un huh, sure, nothing to see there, was there?
I am wondering the same thing. Maybe it did not explode (no bomb). I’d say it sunk possibly in large pieces. But I would think it would break apart as it came down or as it hit the water.
And in general, you’d think some parts of the plane would still float.
So, now they have searched for it about one full day. THis is a bit amazing.
Prayers for all those effected.
Actually, the problem isn't lack of assistance. Radios like to be up high. The problem, if there is one, is reaching too many cell towers at once, not lack of ability to reach a tower.
