Saw this on twitter last night.

It's so sad! My prayers are with them. 
I hope it was just a communication malfunction and the plane landed safely somewhere.

My prayers and thoughts with those affected by this.

Many are indicating that the place crashed into the sea because of smoke and the oil found nearby. Hoping for the best :(

Wow, you are also a Malaysian. So far MAS isn't releasing any official statement yet. Wonder what is happening or are they hiding anything before officially revealing it.


possible, but so far they have not found the plane or any debris...only oil and smoke in south china sea, guess that's why they are not making any official statement...

I'm also praying for miracle...but worried coz it's already more than 24 hours the plane gone missing.

I don't know if this is true or not, but Vietnam and Phillipine news are "confirming" that the plane crashed into water. Apparently their navy has verified it.

The only thing is, I saw a scienetist's interview on CNN Who said that even if the plane did infact crash into water, the plane contains a transponder that can still communicate under water with air traffic controllers, even if the plane is crashed and underwater, so I have no idea whats going on,

This all seems so weird, I honestly feel like the government officials are hiding something.Edited by Shaitan-Haiwan - 10 years ago

The first sign that a Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 may have crashed came Saturday, when two large oil slicks were spotted close to where the aircraft went missing earlier in the day.

Among the 239 people on board the plane were two Canadians, who have since been identified as Xiaomo Bai, 37, and Muktesh Mukherjee, 42, according to the flight manifest posted online.

The two Canadians were married and lived with their kids in Beijing, where Mukherjee had been working for the energy company Xcoal Energy & Resources, the company's CEO Ernie Thrasher said in an email to The Canadian Press.

An airline spokesperson said company officials have not been able to contact their families, but have communicated with the Canadian embassy in Malaysia.

Vietnamese Air Force planes spotted the oil slicks, each between 10 and 15 kilometres long, off the southern tip of Vietnam.

While the Vietnamese government did not confirm that the slicks were related to the missing plane, it said they were consistent with the kinds that would be left by a crashed jetliner.

The air force planes were part of a wider search operation that was launched after Flight MH370 lost contact less than an hour after it departed from Kuala Lumpur at 12:41 a.m. local time on Saturday. The Beijing-bound flight was expected to land approximately six hours later.

Malaysian and Vietnamese officials said the plane was last detected on radar at 1:30 a.m. local time, near where the South China Sea meets the Gulf of Thailand.

A statement from Malaysia Airlines said the air search has been temporarily suspended and will resume at daylight; crews will continue the search by sea.

Families of the passengers on board the missing plane are being "informed," the airline said. Two-thirds of the passengers were Chinese nationals, but there were also people from Malaysia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Australia, India, Russia, Europe and North America.

Meanwhile, officials in Italy and Austria said the names of the two nationals listed on the flight manifest as coming from those countries matched names on passports that had been reported stolen in Thailand.

An Italian man named Luigi Maraldi was listed as being a passenger on the flight, but was not aboard the plane, the country's foreign ministry said. Maraldi had reported his passport stolen in Thailand last August.

The foreign ministry in Austria also confirmed that a name of an Austrian national on the manifest matched that of an Austrian passport reported stolen two years ago in Thailand. The ministry would not confirm the identity of the individual, but said the Austrian was not on the plane.

Malaysia Airlines CEO Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said Saturday there was no indication that the pilots of the plane had sent a distress signal, indicating that whatever took place may have happened quickly.

The pilot had more than 18,000 flying hours and had been flying with the airline since 1981, Malaysian Airlines said. The plane's first officer had about 2,800 hours of flying experience and had worked for the airline since 2007.

When asked by reporters about the possibility of a terror attack, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said it was too early to make any conclusions. But he said the government was looking at "all possibilities."

Family, friends wait for news at Beijing hotel

Meanwhile family and friends waiting for news of their loved ones were overcome with emotion in Beijing.

Beijing airport officials posted a notice asking them to wait at a nearby hotel for more information. Scenes from the hotel showed some of them weeping as they feared the worst.

CTV's Asia Bureau Chief Janis Mackey Frayer said many of them were frustrated with the speed at which information was being relayed to them.

"It was hours before officials at Beijing's airport were directing relatives to a nearby hotel to sit and await news," she reported Saturday from Beijing. "There's really a lot of frustration - fury really - among the families that are waiting.

"There are a lot of anxious relatives, and they've been saying that up to this point - more than 12 hours after the plane was supposed to arrive -- they've received little to no information from Malaysian officials."

In a statement issued late Friday night, Canada's Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development said they had received preliminary reports indicating that two Canadian citizens may have been "affected" by the missing plane.

"Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with those affected by the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines MH370," the statement said. "We are working with local authorities to gather more information on the situation."

Prime Minister Stephen Harper also expressed his condolences Friday night in a Tweet.

still praying for them.   Just cannot imagine what is going through the minds of their friends and relatives.

Latest is:-

A Vietnamese search plane saw two possible oil slicks in the area, although there was no confirmation they were related to the disappearance.

Flight MH370 had 239 people on board, en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.

Two-thirds of the passengers were from China, while others were from elsewhere in Asia, North America and Europe.

It has been reported that two passengers who were listed on the plane's manifest - an Italian and an Austrian - were not actually on the flight.

They both reportedly had their passports stolen in Thailand.

Asked whether terrorism was suspected as a reason for the plane's disappearance, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak said: "We are looking at all possibilities, but it is too early to make any conclusive remarks."

A senior US official told NBC News: "We are aware of the reporting on the two stolen passports. We have not determined a nexus to terrorism yet, although it's still very early, and that's by no means definitive."
