Members Roman Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 277 passengers and crew. The plane apparently crashed in the South China Sea. Radio contact was lost after 4:30pm EST. Relatives were moved to a hotel and have now been updated with the latest information. Plane crashes now happen so rarely that it comes as a shock to me. The aircraft itself has an excellent record. Prayers to all of them and their loved ones & families. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alexisfan07 Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 It's not confirmed they are dead, they haven't even found wreckage of the plane. Something major went wrong though and they just found out two people on board were using stolen passports, as the real people are safe and sound. Sounds like a potential hijacking to me. I've got my fingers crossed and am praying. Still terrible news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 Stolen passports isn't going to be the sign of a hijacking in that area of the world. That's a big tourist area and a huge city. People with no means of getting out of the county will steal passports to try and use to get out. Happens all the time and selling stolen passports (especially from Western countries) is a huge business. Anyway, they're saying they've found oil that they assume is from the plane so it more than likely malfunctioned and went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 8, 2014 Members Share Posted March 8, 2014 I knew the news couldn't be good when I heard that the plane had disappeared. Very sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted March 9, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 9, 2014 It's been over 24 hours and they have checked all land in the path and found nothing, and 2 12-mile oil slicks were found along with some trash in the South China Sea.

Members juppiter Posted March 9, 2014 Members Share Posted March 9, 2014 If any survived, I hope they can learn to live together or they will die alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted March 9, 2014 Members Share Posted March 9, 2014 Investigators think the plane might have disintegrated mid flight http://nypost.com/2014/03/09/missing-plane-may-have-disintegrated-investigators/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reallyhateskateonlost Posted March 9, 2014 Members Share Posted March 9, 2014 They still didn't find any wreckage, in the sea or land. It's terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ThePrinceOfSunspear Posted March 9, 2014 Members Share Posted March 9, 2014 Isn't the post a tabloaid though....I wouldn't say they're exactly the first site I'd go to for reliable information esp in a situation like this. The whole thing though is very disturbing. The very fact that we practically know nothing about what happened to this flight is kinda scary to me. I can only imagine how shellshocked and confused the families are.... EDIT: Just saw the disintegration theory on HuffPost so I guess it must have a little credibility...still that sounds so crazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Roman Posted March 15, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 15, 2014 I want to say how sorry i am for jumping the gun and saying all the passengers were dead. Very sorry. Now....its really pointing towards hijacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted March 15, 2014 Members Share Posted March 15, 2014 Now they are saying that the plane has probably been hijacked and they are looking in the Indian Ocean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roman Posted March 16, 2014 Author Members Share Posted March 16, 2014 I honestly believe the Malaysian government knew that plane was hijacked minutes after it dissapeared and, fearing sanctions, tried to cover it up and have handled this whole incident so badly that most of the international community is now putting their foot in the backsides demanding the same answers they should have been demanding from day 1....that's IF they didn't know about it.
