Because of this, I been watching the Air Emergency stuff from National Geographic again on YouTube. Soo many of the episodes have been centered around pilot and technology error combined together. If it's just an oil slick... maybe it's just how some crashes been shown... Sigh can only hope they find the plane and the black box now. | ||

Take this with a grain of salt, was on local newspaper If this is true then why didn't the report say this initially? There was new reports that said the plane attempted to turn back, but if that's true for SOS then I do not believe the plane was "turning" back. I have watched soo many Air Emergency episodes today, like I spent the ENTIRE day watching and all I can surmise from my end is "something" happened, the pilots had no time to react and just ditched the plane basically. I keep looking with news and stuff I don't see any of the SOS from what you posted just now. So confusing I'm wondering what's going on. Can sort of understand why the Chinese families are so frustrated. | ||

The two people using stolen passports bought their flight tickets at the same time, and were due to fly to Europe from Beijing, according to reports. Interpol says at least two of the passports were registered in its lost or stolen database, but the database was not checked by staff before the flight. According to Chinese state media, a rescue team from Singapore has "found something in the water". Boats are heading to the area to have a closer look. | ||

Vietnamese officials said a search plane spotted suspected fragments of a missing Malaysian airliner Sunday night, in the first potential breakthrough in the search since the flight disappeared early Saturday morning. The suspected fragments were found floating about 50 miles south-southwest of Tho Chu Island and were believed to be a piece of an inner door and part of an airplane tail, Vietnamese officials said. Earlier Sunday, Vietnam's search and rescue officials said that they were investigating a report about a suspected piece of yellow debris seen floating in the same area. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304732804579427991198487418 | ||

On Sunday afternoon, a statement issued in the name of a previously unknown group claimed that the disappearance of the plane was a political act aimed at the Chinese and Malaysian governments and referred to last week's attack in a Chinese train station by alleged Uighur separatists. It stopped short of a claim of responsibility. Malaysian officials said that they were unaware of any claim of responsibility but would investigate all possibilities. http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304732804579427991198487418 still though, could just be opportunism | ||
