It has been three days since Malaysia Airlines flight 370 heading to Beijing with 227 passengers including two infants and twelve crew members went missing. The search team suspects that the plane disappeared somewhere in the Gulf of Thailand. Almost three dozen airplanes and forty ships from ten countries have so far failed to find them. Lead after lead has failed to help the search party find anything. Currently, ships have been sent to search a report of debris south of Hong Kong, but we will likely not know until tomorrow if the authorities even know if these reports are true. No emergency signal has been seen and family members have been told to prepare for the worst.
Interestingly enough, two passengers who have been identified have been traveling with stolen passports and seem to have bought their tickets together. These men have been identified as young men from Iran with at least one of them being an asylum seeker (someone seeking refuge in a diffrent country). The passports were reported to be stolbuen in Thailand. The whole stolen passport ordeal suggests terrorism as a possible answer, but authorities claim that it is to early to come to any conclusions and the fast that one is a possible asylum seeker has weekened this therory. Because no destress call has been detected, other therories such as pilot error or plane malfuntion are more likely stories.
Not much is known about the crashing and the passengers have yet to be found. Keep them in your prayers and keep you eye out for any possible updates.
