Boeing 777

Missing Plane

Of the 239 passengers aboard the missing flight, 2 of them were traveling on stolen passports. Since the flight has gone missing, two oil slicks off the coast of Vietnam were checking, and found to have no connection to the flight.  What they thought could be a piece of floating debris was found to be moss-covered trash.  Some theories are that the flight had explosive materials that were improperly stored, like oxygen generators or lithium batteries.  The plane is part of the Malaysian national carrier, the Vietnamese are also assisting because of the location the radar lost track of the plane and the Chinese are assisting as well because the flight was heading to Beijing.  This is a potentially huge tragedy.
