239 on board  :frown: If it did go down it would be only the second 777 fatality in the aircrafts history after the Asiana SFO incident last year

AA weirdly points out they are in oneworld

@AmericanAir  36s
Our thoughts are with all on board Malaysia Flight MH370, their families and employees. As a partner in oneworld, we stand ready to assist.

The Malaysia Air 777 was at cruising altitude before they lost contact and the pilot didn't signal any issues. Had to be an explosion. If they had any issues at all they would have heard something. Went down near a Vietnamese island. If it was terrorists someone surely would have claimed it by now.

Yikes, two people listed onboard had their passports stolen a long time ago and weren't on the plane. So prolly terrorists.

I agree on it likely being an explosion. Why do the terrorist always claim the hijackings and stuff? I think it would do more to scare the crap out of the world if we didn't know who was responsible.

if two people who were supposed to be on-board were not on-board, i'd say there is a 99.9999999999% chance that it was terrorists

Yeah, I mentioned it right when the news broke. If an aircraft has an issue it's on landing or takeoff and it's pilot error.

I hope they can figure out how it was done. The worst would be confirming someone blew it up but not knowing how they did it.

How far away do you think you could see signs of an explosion at 35,000 feet?

Great question. It would depend on the size of the explosion. I guess, if the had rigged a couple of small explosions to mess with radio and ability to fly, the fuel tanks would not have had to explode in the air. They could have exploded on impact. How far apart were the two oil streaks in the ocean?

They claim responsibility because they usually have some political aim behind their acts.  Anonymously blowing up a plane is completely pointless.

Yeah. The Sinai groups claim things like the bus bombing because part of their stated goals is to undermine the military government by crippling the economy.

No one wants to just randomly make people afraid altruistically.

The thefts of the two passports — one belonging to Austrian Christian Kozel and the other to Luigi Maraldi of Italy — were entered into Interpol's database after they were stolen in Thailand in 2012 and last year, the police body said.

Electronic booking records show that one-way tickets with those names were issued Thursday from a travel agency in the beach resort of Pattaya in eastern Thailand.
