A Malaysia Airlines Flight Carrying 239 Actualy Vanished Off Coast of Vietnam

Friday afternoon, at about 1:40 pm EST, a passenger jet flying from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing disappeared from radar screens and lost radio contact with air traffic control. Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, which was scheduled to land four hours later, was carrying 227 passengers, including two infants, and 12 crew members.
"Malaysia Airlines is currently working with the authorities who have activated their Search and Rescue team to locate the aircraft," the airline said in a statement."Our thoughts and prayers are with all affected passengers and crew and their family members."
The airline is in the process of contacting family members of the passengers and crew, 160 of whom were from China.
Malaysia Airlines vice president of operations told CNNthat, at the time it went missing, the Boeing 777 had about seven hours of fuel left, which means it would have run out by 8:45 pm EST. I'll update if I learn anything new

UPDATE : Officials in Italy and Austria have reportedly confirmed that two people listed as passengers were not on board the flight and that their passports had been stolen.
