All flights out of WMKK seem to drop off soon after departure. Looks like a ground radar limitation.

Question for those in the "technical know":
If a plane, like a 777, gets in a distress situation (being it one general fault or another) will the ACARS not send a series of information to the company? AF447 did that. |

AF 447 was an Airbus, for which ACARS MX data-bursts are factory standard. For everyone else they're not.

I pray it is not terrorism, this crazy world seems one event away from WW3...

The plane had previously been damaged.
"The missing plane is believed to have been involved in a crash in August, 2012, when it damaged the tail of a China Eastern Airlines plane at Shanghai Pudong Airport, according to unconfirmed reports. "In the incident, the tip of the wing of the Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 broke off." Source: http://www.smh.com.a...0308-hvgnx.html |

Many others have different vested interests, though all are saddened by this likely even. Security in KLIA will pray that it was not terrorism. The airline will pray that it was not pilot or company error. The manufacturer will pray that it was not equipment failure. The list goes on. |

I also doubt any Chinese dissidents would blow up a non-chinese airliner...they prefer the moral support of the global community. |

I hope it isn't so, but sounds like must've blown up... terrorism. How else do you explain no mayday calls and losing contact/radar with a 777?
