227 passagers (158x Chinese) in that Air (Boeing 777), only 7x hours oil out ... i think the bad thing had happened in South China Sea.

To Malaysia members, any news ?

 

[terranMarine]

If contact was lost in VN controlled airspace, perhaps VN should have some info.

CNN is reporting that it may have been over the South China Sea, hopefully Chinese rescue teams may head to the location if it crashed into the water.

Hope everything is well for all.
