A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 239 people has lost contact with air traffic control and was still missing two hours after it was supposed to have landed in Beijing, the airline said Saturday morning.
The airline told NBC News that a search-and-rescue mission was under way but said it had no further information.
The flight from Kuala Lumpur, carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, and 12 crew members, had been scheduled to land at 6:30 a.m. in Beijing (5:30 p.m. ET Friday).
It is almost as if the plane is in another time and another dimension as if in the “Twilight Zone”.
Vietnamese media reported that authorities have detected signals from a missing Malaysia Airlines flight off the southwestern coast of Vietnam on Saturday, hours after the flight went missing during a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Website VN Express said a Vietnamese search and rescue official reported that the signals were detected from about 120 nautical miles (140 miles; 225 kilometers) southwest of Vietnam’s southernmost Ca Mau province.
The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200 carrying 239 people lost contact early Saturday morning over the South China Sea between Malaysia and Vietnam.

the lunatic left better keep their childish mouths shut.they never let a tragedy go to waste.
Lots of airplane accidents were not witnessed directly by anyone. It’s amazing but not odd.
According to Vietnamese media, the plane crashed into the ocean
You wonder how CNN reported?.I just took a flight from Florida to LA on an airline with on board tv..ive been watching live CNN an Fox reports while flying the last 5 hours..weird because we had a lot of turbulence as im watching the speculate about turbulence being a cause

^^^^^^^
Isn’t there another Bermuda Triangle in that area of the globe? I know i saw a documentary on it.
No radio contact that they were in trouble - sounds like a catastrophic incident disabling ability to transmit ...
......your referenced idiot was named Bonin. He was very young and only about 1,700 hrs in that type aircraft. He froze and held the joystick all the way back for 75 seconds with the nose up 35-40 degrees causing it to stall.
Old dog pilot was taking a nap in a sleeping compartment on the flight deck. Within 25 seconds of stall, he was back on the flight deck but too late.
Sully says joystick and inability of pilots to fly plane manually was cause.
“@WCARN_NEWS: Vietnam Navy now reporting it has found the wreckage of #MH370 in the ocean. Source @YahooSG , unconfirmed.”
turbulence can be a factor,especially if the plane flew into a sizable air-pocket at 600MPH.I did see that video of an Asian airline that went thru one and like that classic lyric”Let The Bodies Hit The Floor”. Most of them had their seat-belts off.
Yeah, I’m reading Unconfirmed reports that place the potential crash at roughly 153 miles south of Phu Quoc island, Vietnam, and roughly 140 miles off the east coast of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu.
Which in case anyone is wondering, classifies as ‘the middle of nowhere’.
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.
Must hit the sack and I dread what the news may be in the morning.
Already denied. It was a false report. Links upthread
