Malaysian Airlines
jet with 239 people on board after it lost contact flying from Kuala Lumpur to
Beijing.The aircraft had been due to land in Beijing at 6.30am local time but
at 7.54am the airline issued a statement saying it had not landed and was
officially missing.
Those on board included two infants and 12 crew members.4 Americans
7 Australian passengers, 153 Chinese, 38 Malaysians, 12 Indonesians and 32
people from France.
Vietnamese navy vessels were sailing to an area south of the
Vietnamese Island of Phu Quoc after radar scans reportedly showed the Malaysian
jet crashing there.It was hoped the naval ships, along with other vessels, would
be able to reach the area before darkness fell, to increase the chances of
finding any survivors or wreckage.
If the aircraft has crashed, and all the passengers and crew are killed, it would the deadliest aviation incident since November 2001.
Crying relatives of Chinese passengers on board the plane wept at Beijing airport as it became clear the jet had probably crashed.
