Chill, when you are 80 I am sure you will misapply some call of duty reference in a post.

Between 150 - 300ft. Not terribly deep but still not shallow either.

So about as deep as the water where TWA 800 was lost. Should make debris recovery frustrating, yet possible I would think.

"Foreign Ministry officials in Rome and Vienna later said names of two nationals listed as passengers matched passports reported stolen in Thailand."
As reported on Al Jazeera.

This is what gets my attention.

Multiple sources are now reporting the stolen passport pax. Makes your hair stand up when you know there's a good chance that airplane broke up in flight.

Stolen European Passports on Missing Plane
By COLLEEN BARRY Associated Press Mar 8, 2014, 10:05 AM
Foreign ministry officials in Rome and Vienna confirm that names of two nationals listed on the manifest of the missing Malaysian airlines flight match passports reported stolen in Thailand.

Italy's Foreign Ministry said Saturday that an Italian man whose name was listed as being aboard is traveling in Thailand and was not aboard the plane.

A foreign ministry functionary, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed Italian reports that Luigi Maraldi had reported his passport stolen last August.

Italian news agency ANSA says Maraldi called home after hearing reports that an Italian with his name was aboard the plane.

Austrian Foreign Ministry spokesman Martin Weiss confirmed that a name listed on the manifest matches an Austrian passport reported stolen two years ago in Thailand. Weiss would not confirm the identity.
