The missing plane

[wendy]

I am surprised no one has started this off, it is so strange that nothing has yet been found.
Do you have any thoughts about this terrible disaster?

[JaneJ]

It is totally bizarre.

I don't understand how it can disappear in this day and age with all the technology and gps stuff we have.

Sounds like there are things we aren't being told!!

The search has been one big mess-up from the start ..so many thing being said then being retracted. The only wya to get any progress is to start again ... I think the phrase "too many cooks" comes to mind...

The communications systems of missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 were deliberately disabled, Malaysia's Prime Minister Najib Razak has said.

According to satellite and radar evidence, he said, the plane then changed course and could have continued flying for a further seven hours.

He said the "movements are consistent with the deliberate action of someone on the plane".

The plane disappeared a week ago with 239 people on board.

Missing Malaysia plane: Malaysia requests countries' help

16 March 2014 Last updated at 16:02

Some 25 countries are now involved in a vast search operation for the missing airliner that disappeared over a week ago, Malaysian officials say.

The search area - from central Asia to the southern Indian Ocean - takes in large tracts of land and sea.

An already complex search operation has become even more difficult, Malaysia's acting transport minister says.

Crew, passengers and ground staff are being investigated after it was confirmed the jet was commandeered.

Investigators are trying to obtain more radar and satellite data from any of the countries that Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may have passed over, with its 239 crew and passengers.

The leaders of several Asian countries have been briefed by the Malaysia government in what acting Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein has described as a new phase of the search.

"From focusing mainly on shallow seas, we are now looking at large tracts of land, crossing 11 countries, as well as deep and remote oceans," he said at a news conference.

I cannot imagine how the families are coping.
I don't know if I have missed anything, but has anything been found of the plane?
