The Vietnamese are saying they have found oil slicks and possible "fragments" of the plane in the sea to the South of Vietnam - but since it was dark at the time of the search, they arent sure.

It does seem to be a big mystery but does have a lot of similarities with the Air France flight from Brazil to Paris a few years ago which disappeared after leaving airspace in South America.

This is shaping up to be a fascinating case. The fact the plane turned back towards Kuala Lumpur adds another element of intrigue. Surely there is no pilot in the world who would turn a plane around and start heading in another direction without speaking to and receiving the all-clear from air traffic control? Does that suggest someone else was at the controls at the time? And why is the search area so wide? They are focusing on the area south of Vietnam which seems most logical, but also on the Malacca Straight which isn't even anywhere near the flight path of this plane. What's that all about?

Where did you hear that they were searching the Malacca Strait?

It's clearly just an accident otherwise our resident theorists would be all over it.

the nut jobs have all ready started



Our resident theorists however are always slightly behind schedule anyway,they need time to digest what it is they have been told to believe.

Empathy seems to be lost on these morons.

I'm pretty certain the guy holding the news conference just said that one of the stolen passports was being used, not by a bloke who looked Asian but who looked like Mario Balotelli.
Still nothing found of the aircraft though.
Oil slick seen on water not from MH370.

There is something weird about this. It was said that the plane lost radar contact less than an hour into the flight, which would suggest its reported position off the south of Vietnam (about 400-500 miles from Kuala Lumpur) is about right. Since then they've been searching in the Malacca Strait (which is the wrong direction) and now Hong Kong (which is more than 1,500 miles from Kuala Lumpur, meaning the plane would have been flying for more like three hours). Why would you look in either of those places for a plane that was one hour from KL, heading in the direction of Beijing?


I think they have more information than they are letting on, they are being very cagey

Brighton factually.....
Wouldn't the plane have been picked up by radar though even if it had turned off its transponders?

You would think so, but all the nations around that area all hate and dont trust each other, so maybe it was treated as a hostile / UFO object.

Shot down?

Not so sure, The pilot from the plane heading to NRT said he made contact with the co pilot and the signal was static and he sounded flustered.

I believe its been hijacked for one reason or another, I see the Chinese are claiming they had reports of a terror attack being threatened a few days before this all happened.
