I'm reading CNN now and it says that the route is mainly over land.

Oh dear, lost in the rainforests of Vietnam if that is where the plane was lost from radar.

Some of the land includes China, lots of remote areas there too. Wonder why the black box beacon is not operating?

It probably went down over water.

[JaneMarple]

CNN says it was flying over Vietnam when contact was lost.

Four Americans on board the flight.

The Malaysia Airlines Facebook post has more activity than their Twitter account:

This link from one of the Facebook replies goes to The Aviation Herald, with flight details and a map of the estimated flight track and approximate last signal location:

Crash: Malaysia B772 over Gulf of Thailand on Mar 8th 2014, aircraft missing

Prayers for everyone affected.

Vietnam Navy is reporting the plane has crashed into the ocean.

Why no communication from the airplanes crew if they were having trouble? No may day calls. They have several automated backups if human action fails. Very strange!
