    It had been expected to land in Beijing at 06:30 (22:30 GMT).
    The plane went off the radar in Vietnamese airspace, according to a statement on the Vietnamese government website.
    Its last known location was south of Vietnam's Ca Mau peninsular although the exact position was not clear, it said.
    Malaysia Airlines said it was 'currently working with the authorities who have activated their search and rescue team to locate the aircraft'.
    'Our team is currently calling the next-of-kin of passengers and crew.'

    Australia Sees Possible Malaysia Plane Debris - Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 - 20 Mar 2014

    Two objects have been seen that could possibly relate to the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, Australian PM Tony Abbott has announced.

    Australian vessels have been searching in the southern Indian Ocean for the aircraft, which disappeared on 8 March with 239 people on board.

    Mr Abbott said the objects had been identified on satellite imagery.

    An Orion aircraft had been sent to the area to try to locate the objects, Mr Abbott told parliament.

    Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it lost contact with air traffic controllers.

    Twenty-six nations have been involved in a major search for the missing aircraft.

    'The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has received information based on satellite information of objects possibly related to the search,' Mr Abbott said.

    'Following specialist analysis of this satellite imagery, two possible objects related to the search have been identified.'

    Mt Abbott warned, however, that finding the objects would be very difficult and said they could turn out to be unrelated to the aircraft.

    A number of sightings of possible debris have been investigated in the search for the plane but so far none have proved to be related.

    Malaysia Airlines said a flight carrying 239 people from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing went missing early Saturday, and the airline was notifying next of kin in a sign it feared the worst.
    The airline said flight MH370 disappeared at 2:40 am local time (1840 GMT Friday), about two hours after leaving Kuala Lumpur International Airport. It had been due to arrive in Beijing at 6:30 am local time (2230 GMT Friday).
    A statement posted on the official Vietnamese government website said the flight disappeared in Vietnamese airspace.
    'The plane lost contact in Ca Mau province airspace before it had entered contact with Ho Chi Minh City air traffic control,' it said.
    The plane was meant to transfer to Ho Chi Minh City air traffic control at 1722 GMT but never appeared, the statement said, citing a senior Ministry of Defence official.
    Vietnam's Ministry of Defence has launched rescue efforts to find the plane, working in coordination with Malaysian and Chinese officials, the statement added.
    The Boeing 777-200 was carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, from 13 different nationalities, and 12 crew members.
    China's state television said 158 of the passengers were Chinese. Some 160 Chinese had been due to be on the flight but two missed it, according to Xinhua, quoting China's Civil Aviation Administration.

    Yes...those are people falling out...

    911 wasn't the only aviation disaster to happen in New York. The 1960 New York mid-air collision, also known as the Park Slope Plane Crash, was a mid-air collision between two airliners that occurred over New York City on Friday, 16 December 1960. The collision of United Airlines Flight 826 and Trans World Airlines Flight 266 caused Flight 266 to crash into Staten Island and Flight 826 to crash into Park Slope, Brooklyn, resulting in the deaths of all 128 people on board the two airliners and six people on the ground.

    At 10:21 A.M. Eastern Time, the United plane advised its company radio operator that one of its VOR receivers had stopped working (although they did not notify air traffic controllers of the problem), making it harder to navigate in instrument conditions. At 10:25 A.M. Eastern Time, air traffic control issued a revised clearance for the flight to shorten its course to the Preston holding point (near South Amboy, New Jersey) by 12 miles (19 km). The United plane was supposed to circle the holding point at an altitude of 5,000 ft (1,500 m) at no more than 240 mph (210 kn; 390 km/h).
