reuters is very good
those are just headlines though. it doesn't say anything about someone else gaining entry onto that plane with those credentials, just that those people weren't actually on the plane.
there's a big difference. they could just have had their passport stolen in the city and not have been able to get on the plane as a result.

apparently the airline company has been running on bad finance for the last few years (or months? I forgot). the problem is probably on their side

11 of my friend's colleagues were on board. One of them was a former classmate of mine. Heard he was getting married this year. This is really sad.

Vietnamese ships will reach the area formerly found with oil slicks soon, maybe they already have.

There is another Austrian guy who isn't on board at all, someone used his stolen passport.

So, I guess this is semi-confirmed? still, that 35,000 to 0 drop is very unsettling. Even if the plane was losing altitude, it can lose that much in what? several seconds it was?

Don't expect to get any answers anytime soon unless there were terrorists and someone takes responsibility. Regardless of cause it usually takes a long time if ever to get answers to a crash like this, especially if there weren't any communications between towers and the plan that can be connected to the crash.

this is why im scared shitless of flying. I know statistically your more likely to be killed in a car accident but that probably doesnt hold much weight to the 227 people who are now an oil slick on the ocean.

people illegally travel all the time, does not mean terrorism is involved. my guess is it was an old shitty plane and all the safety and backup system were fucked up + pilot error.

Boeing 777 isn't really that old and shity though, not to mention i believe it has one of the best safety records. Could have been maintenance error.

yea thats true, usually this stuff pretty much always comes down to human error. like maintenance not tightening a bolt enough or something.

The fact that there were 2 people with stolen passports seems to be the big thing. One person and it might not be, but two is.

How a plane can go from cruising altitude to sea fast enough that there's no mayday is beyond me. Apart from a serious structural failure of the plane, eg. a bomb.
