Saturday, March 08, 04:20 PM MYT +0800 Media Statement - MH370 Incident released at 4.20pm

Sepang, 8 March 2014: Malaysia Airlines is still unable to establish any contact or determine the whereabouts of flight MH370. Earlier today, Subang ATC had lost contact with the aircraft at 2.40am. The last known position of MH370 before it disappeared off the radar was 065515 North (longitude) and 1033443 East (latitude).

We are still trying to locate the current location of the flight based on the last known position of the aircraft. We are working with the International search and rescue teams in trying to locate the aircraft. So far, we have not received any emergency signals or distress messages from MH370. We are working with authorities and assure that all sources are deployed to assist with the search and rescue mission.

The passenger manifest will not be released until all families of the passengers have been informed. The flight was carrying a total number of 239 passengers and crew – comprising 227 passengers (including 2 infants) and 12 crew members.

We are deploying our “Go Team” to Beijing which will depart Kuala Lumpur International Airport at 4.30pm with a team of caregivers and volunteers to assist the family members of the passengers.

The passengers are of 14 different nationalities. All crew on-board are Malaysians.

Please take note that the earlier statement did not include the number of Indian nationals. This was due to confusion between the country code of Indonesia and India.

The below table shows the latest number of passengers and their nationalities:-

a plane suddenly disappears without giving any distress signal at all? some theory out there is that a bomb blew up or maybe some country accidentally shot down the plane. For me, it is a very high possibility. A plane cruising at 35000ft should take a few minutes before crashing down to sea. That would have given ample time to make any calls. If no calls made, something sinister possibly happened.

馬航今日下午舉行發佈會草草收場後，家屬離開休息時情緒激動，對馬航表示憤怒，怒斥其不負責任，指他們在馬航安排的麗都酒店休息室裏面得不到任何訊息，只發了一張聲明，上面記錄了多少人在失聯飛機上。該家屬情緒激動，怒斥：「馬航滾出中國！」

有家屬步出酒店時，非常氣憤地說，數百名家屬在馬航安排下，在一個大廳等候，他們卻得不到關於親人的任何消息

Penerbangan MH370, sebuah pesawat Boeing 777-200 dalam perjalanan ke Beijing dari KLIA, hilang di ruang udara Vietnam.
 
Tentera laut Vietnam mendakwa pesawat itu terhempas di perairan mereka, tetapi kerajaan Malaysia masih berusaha untuk mengesahkan ini.
 
Pesawat itu membawa 239 penumpang, termasuk 12 anak kapal. Terdapat 152 warga China dan 38 rakyat Malaysia dalam pesawat itu.
 
Setakat ini, pihak berkuasa Vietnam, Malaysia dan China sedang melancarkan misi bersama mencari dan menyelamat.

My deepest condolence to all affected family.

another LATE response from MAS

客机失联30秒就得行动！
但马航却5小时後才公布消息！

北京航空法学研究会常务副会长张起淮（图左）认为，
按照国际民航组织相关规定，一旦航班与地面失去联繫超过30秒，航空公司就必须啟动相关预备方案，包括需儘快发佈公开讯息并及时更新。“ MH370 週六凌晨2点多就已失联，
但马航却迟至早上7时才公布讯息，这显然是延迟的... ”
