Hope its a glitch and they are safe but you have to fear the worst.

Amirani · 08-03-2014 05:18AM

It had 7 hours fuel and that time has passed, so one would have to fear the worst.

JONJO THE MISER · 08-03-2014 05:24AM

Just saw this now.

Witchie · 08-03-2014 05:28AM

Heartbreaking stuff. Really sad the thoughts of all those lives lost just moving from one country to another.

Ahhhhh its grand · 08-03-2014 05:35AM

I was on the exact same flight last August, scary stuff! Here's hoping there are survivors

spank_inferno · 08-03-2014 05:42AM

Flew with them last year on a similar 777.

Very sad to hear.

Terrific staff & service

What ever happened to PMA, there are other reports it landed somewhere, hopefully it ditched in the sea near a nice little island and everybody's ok, they just don't have a radio.

JONJO THE MISER · 08-03-2014 05:48AM

Does not look good.
Will say a prayer for those poor souls.

Can't link because in on my phone.

It's gone down 150 miles from the coast of Vietnam. 230 or so on boards.

Sad

ceadaoin. · 08-03-2014 07:45AM

No wreckage has been found yet. It seems like they don't know where it went down. The Vietnamese reports have been denied.

Very sad indeed, my heart goes out to the families waiting for news

LizT · 08-03-2014 07:48AM

RIP to the victims. Scary stuff.

Tweedle Dumb · 08-03-2014 04:34PM

Just seen it on sky that one of the passengers was travelling on a stolen passport and on Facebook that there is at least a second passenger in a similar situation. Crazy stuff. Will add to the mystery.

ceadaoin. · 08-03-2014 05:00PM

Yes apparently the Italian and Austrian passengers listed as being on the plane were not on board. Both had their passports stolen in Thailand, one of them 2 years ago. Very strange. When a passport is reported as stolen is it not flagged as such? I thought when they scanned it on boarding it would display some sort of error

keeponhurling · 08-03-2014 05:19PM

Hard to even imagine the scene at Beijing airport where people wait to collect their family members back from holidays

RIP to all the victims

ThunbergsAreGo · 08-03-2014 05:32PM

Awful news

RIP to all if that is the case

08-03-2014 09:49PM

Now there are suspicions of terrorism due to the discovery that two people had fake passports.

How is rugby getting more attention than this?

An ignorant comment.

Penny Tration · 08-03-2014 09:52PM

There's a thread on this in Aviation and Aircraft.

Scary reading.

Rip to the poor victims. Really hoping it's a tragic accident, and not something more sinister. It's looking worrying, though.

Two confirmed. Some reports on a third passenger too, apparently, but I've yet to see any confirmations about the third.

janja · 08-03-2014 09:59PM

So sad heart goes out to all family associated with this horrific tragedy

Stheno · 08-03-2014 10:06PM

Here's hoping those who died did not suffer terror in their final moments.

God love the poor families.

I'd imagine there was quite a lot of terror.

Femme_Fatale · 08-03-2014 10:53PM

The missing passports angle does make it look like there was foul play. :-/

A long oil slick on the Gulf Of Thailand, where I think contact with air traffic control was lost, and no further sign of any wreckage.

Guess deep-sea diving personnel are on the case at the moment.
Fuk...

keeponhurling · 08-03-2014 11:07PM

I'm wondering could there become terror link, especially after the Kunming massacre last week, and this flight containing mostly Chinese passengers

08-03-2014 11:56PM

This gets barely a mention in the news highlights at the end of the 9:01 news on RTE, yet they give Brian O Driscoll a few minutes of footage. *sigh*

PropJoe10 · 09-03-2014 12:33AM

This is shaping up to be a terrible tragedy, seems theres links to terrorism now, as two of the people onboard seem to have been travelling on stolen passports. RIP to all the victims of this, and God help their families.

It's strange how Irish news broadcasts tend to prioritise Irish news.

A sports star playing his last home game is hardly more worthy news than a possible terrorism attack now is it, it that plane had been in America I bet it would have got more news time.
