New Details Surface About Disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Plane

HeadlineMar 14, 2014

There is still no sign of a Malaysia Airlines plane carrying 239 people, nearly a week after it disappeared while en route to China. An ABC News report citing unnamed U.S. officials said two communications systems on the plane may have shut down 14 minutes apart, suggesting deliberate intervention. Reuters, also citing unnamed sources, said military radar data shows the plane was deliberately flown hundreds of miles off course toward India’s Andaman Islands. The United States has sent the U.S.S. Kidd to the Indian Ocean to aid in the search.
