Crashing during cruise into the sea? Highly unlikely.

Man this is going to be devastating to Malaysia Airlines which has been struggling badly for the past 5 years.

Zero if it really crashed into the sea. Attempted sea landing with braking etc may be different I don't know but a full crash you can't survive.
Sad day 
On the good news, there's no confirmation it's true.

this is going to be like lost

Terrible, terrible news. Fingers crossed that things will turn out ok
|
It says the admiral only says "could have"

If all communications equipment broke down they can't even request landings or airspace clearance even if they found a way to get to a runway or a highway :/

My friend is on that flight.. And i'll be taking a plane tonight as well. Omg....

Thanks.. What I don't get is how the plane disappeared without a trace...

There's still no confirmation it crashed? News station are spamming it.

Is it really possible that all communication equipment would malfunction at once? I mean, they must have some kind of backup, right? this seems really out of the blue :/ Hope they end up being found safe and sound.

This is the biggest casualty for a Boeing 777 since its launch nearly 20 years ago, and its first accident with passenger casualty was only 7 months ago.

For an airplane to just totally disappear from radar over land without any kind of transmission is as close to impossible as it gets.
This looks bad for the people on board. EchoZ, I really hope you buddy is ok.

Goodness. This is such a scary story... It's odd that no news of its whereabouts have come out...
|
The things that could cause a plane to just simply disappear from thin air are few and not good...
...this sucks.

There will be more accidents coming. Most of the world's air fleet is quite old (20 year old planes and such), things start to fall apart slowly.
