whatever happened at 35000ft  it must of happened fast      it is quite puzzling how a 777 just disappears without a trace      pray for all of the souls aboard that plane

Update: [SIZE=10pt]Hong Kong's Air Traffic Control Center reported on Mar 10th 2014 around 17:30L (09:30Z) that an airliner enroute on airway L642 reported via HF radio that they saw a large field of debris at position N9.72 E107.42 about 80nm southeast of Ho Chi Minh City, about 50nm off the south-eastern coast of Vietnam in the South China Sea and about 281nm northeast of the last known radar position. Ships have been dispatched to the reported debris field.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=10pt]Vietnam's Headquarters for the Search and Rescue operation of MH-370 confirmed receiving the report by Hong Kong's Air Traffic Control Center stating that a Hong Kong based airliner reported a large field of debris while enroute on airway L642. A Thai cargo ship in the area was asked for assistance and has set course to the area but did not find anything unusual so far. A second vessel asked for assistance did find some debris. Following this finding Vietnam's Maritime Search and Rescue Services (MRCC) dispatched a ship to the debris field.

Hong Kong's Civil Aviation Department confirmed a Cathay Pacific flight from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur spotted large amount of debris while enroute off the coast of South East Vietnam[/SIZE].

Sooner or later bodies will start popping up and/or floating to shore.
 
I'd bet we got subs in the area trying to find the beacon.

Singapore has dispatched Submarines to the area.

Read reports yesterday they may have turned back...now looking in the jungle.
 
Sea in that area isn't real deep either.....something should have shown up.

What I don't understand about that scenario is that it would imply that the aircraft was controllable (to what extent is questionable). I'm puzzled as to why there appears to have been no attempt to declare or transmit, electronically a distress communication. I'm also curious as to why there is no ELT transmission.
 
As a side note, In my early adult years I was a member of the Civil Air Patrol and had been assigned to the search and rescue/recovery of TTI flight 665. Our team conducted an aerial search along and around the aircraft's flight plan from El Dorado, Arkansas to Texarkana, Texas. After two, 12 hour days, we did not locate the wreckage. On the third day of the search another CAP team located the wreckage of the Convair 600 100 NM north of the flight plan route!
 
Don't be surprised if they find the 777 in an area that is not in the reasonable search matrix.         
 
Here's the latest update on the possible whereabouts:

 
On Mar 11th 2014 Malaysia's Air Force reported their primary radar data suggest, the aircraft may have turned west over the Gulf of Thailand at about 1000 meters/3000 feet below the original flight level (editorial note: another possible interpretation could be: at 1000 meters of height compared to 10000 meters original level) and flown past the east coast near Khota Baru and the west coast of Malaysia near Kedah, the radar return was last seen at 02:40L near Pulau Perak in the Straits of Malacca, about 285nm westsouthwest of the last known (secondary) radar position. Local Police at Khota Bharu confirmed a number of locals reported lights and a low flying aircraft at Khota Bharu at an estimated height of 1000 meters/3000 feet.

This is getting stranger by the second! It seems rather odd that 90 hours into the search the Malaysian military craps this gem!

If there are multiple reports of mobile phones showing online past the time communications with the aircraft were lost, you'd think someone might have followed up on that lead by now and started looking at cell tower information...

If you really want hear all the CT's and reports floated over the past 4 days, here is your site. Over 1000 posts and 100 pages of it:

They have covered the cell phone issue at least 4 different days, with over a hundred posts addressing the issue.
