Oh wow what an awful story to wake up to.
Desperately hoping for a miracle although it looks unlikely.

Thinking of all the families... Always been bit scared of flying this would be my worst nightmare can't imagine how they must be feeling.

The Malaysian Insider news site is reporting that relatives of people on board the flight will be taken to the site once the airliner has been found. It has interviews with family members who have gone to Kuala Lumpur International airport to await news of the plane’s fate.

Do they always take the family member to the crash sites? I am having a hard time seeing them taking the families to the middle of the ocean.

Who knows how horrible or how long it will take to find the plane or how deep it maybe .

I think they really are vetting, collecting as much pre information about the people who were on the plane. Just in case it was terrorist.

Email addresses, cell phone records ,etc... Hard to question family members if they are not there. imVho

The biggest clue in that being possible is the plane reaching cruising alt.. for one minute. Just long enough for someone to unhook the seatbelt and employ a plan.
 
Apparently this plane has had a damaged wing ??

(Picture from a few months ago, I think. This is the plane but site it's from is in Chinese so not absolutely sure)

Here's another one ( apparently ??)
From a different site, again I think it's Chinese.

* Is it the same plane ??
(Only one seems to have a red stripe)
 
It's mentioned in this article from The Age that this plane was involved in some kind of accident and damaged a wing.

The missing plane is believed to have been involved in a crash in August, 2012, when it damaged the tail of a China Eastern Airlines plane at Shanghai Pudong Airport, according to unconfirmed reports.

In the incident, the tip of the wing of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 broke off.

A couple minutes ago on Fox they said they were getting word that the Vietnamese have found two oil spills in the sea and were investigating. More details as they come in.
 
This is from a totally unrelated thread, but aviator posted some sonar images there. I don't know much about them but you can see how powerful they are now - the plane is clearly visible in that image.

I am sure authorities will find this plane. I just hope it is soon, for their loved ones' sakes, and that every single person is brought home. :(

Please note: the image does NOT show the plane discussed here.
 
BBC radio just reported from Beijing - last known position over South China Sea. Took almost five hours for China to announce the news that the plane was missing and authorities have been heavily criticized. They also reported the oil slicks, saying the report came direct from Air Force planes.

Those poor relatives. Imagine, they probably saw it all over social media but spent hours waiting for their own government to confirm. It seems very cruel.

*Boeing has just announced hairline cracks have been found in their new dreamline planes that are being produced in the US. They're not in service though.

An extraordinary story has just emerged from Italy in relation to missing flight MH 370.

Louis Maraldi, 37, from Cesena, was named as one of the passengers on board the plane.

However, reports in Italy have confirmed that he was NOT on board and that he had reported his passport stolen last August.

Mr Maraldi's parents have spoken to him in Thailand and he is 'fine', news agency ANSA reports.

The revelation suggests that one of the 227 passengers on board the missing flight was using a stolen passport.

The Mirror is tabloid so take the reporting with a grain of salt.

This is from an Italian news site. Can trust it or not? (translated badly)

Louis Maraldi, 37 Cesena, who appeared on board the Malaysian Airlines flight MH 370 disappeared from radar while he was bound for Beijing, he phoned his parents reassuring to feel good while ago. And 'in Thailand. Maraldi, the Italian who appeared on board the aircraft Malaysian Airlines in recent months had reported the theft of his passport took place on 1 August while he was in the Asian country. He returned to Italy got a new document in Ravenna, where he has since taken up residence, and then 'back in Thailand. This morning the staff of the Commissioner of Cesena and 'went to her parents' home, but they were the same parents to tell the police that the young man had called just before to say he was fine and he was in Thailand. One of the hypotheses and then 'that appears on the list of persons on board because' someone 'came on board the aircraft using his passport stolen.

ROME - Maraldi Luigi, the Italian 37-year-old appeared on the flight disappeared off the coast of Vietnam , is alive and well. Just on that there was never gone. After hours of anguish and checks Maraldi, read the news in the papers, has called home: "I'm in Thailand."
Remember the anguish for all the other 239 passengers. Plane, after several hours after his death, still no trace. China calls for more efforts at all. But, as the hours passed in the hopes of finding life a passenger are more and more feeble.

Heard about this last night before :offtobed: CBS radio news at 9:00 (WWJ, Detroit) indicates that plane is still missing. Three Americans believed to be onboard. Doesn't sound good. Thoughts and prayers for the families and friends of passengers and crew.
 
This might be a really stupid question, but can any Americans tell me, will this affect air travel in the USA? I am flying out of Detroit this week. Should I allot extra time to clear security?
