If the plane crashed, it likely crashed into the Gulf of Thailand.

Mar 8, 2014 12:19 AM EST Boeing 777: One of the most popular, safest jets By Scott Mayerowitz AP Airlines Writer The Boeing 777 flown by Malaysia Airlines that disappeared Saturday morning over the South China Sea is one of the world's most popular — and safest — jets. The long-range jumbo jet has helped connect cities at the far ends of the globe, with flights as long as 16 hours. But more impressive is its safety record: The first fatal crash in its 19-year history only came last July when an Asiana Airlines jet landed short of the runway in San Francisco. Three of the 307 people aboard died. Airlines like the plane because it is capable of flying extremely long distances thanks to two giant engines. Each engine is so massive that a row of at least five coach seats could fit inside it. By having just two engines, the plane burns through less fuel than four-engine jets, like the Boeing 747, which it has essentially replaced. "It has provided a new standard in both efficiency and safety," said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation consultant with the Teal Group. "The 777 has enjoyed one of the safest records of any jetliner built." Besides last year's Asiana crash, the only other serious incident with the 777 came in January 2008 when a British Airways jet landed about 1,000 feet (305 meters) short of the runway at London's Heathrow Airport. Malaysia Airlines did have an incident in August 2005 with a 777 flying from Perth, Australia, to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia's largest city. While flying 38,000 feet (11,580 meters) above the Indian Ocean, the plane's software incorrectly measured speed and acceleration, causing the plane to suddenly shoot up 3,000 feet (915 meters). The pilot disengaged the autopilot and descended and landed safely back in Perth. A software update was quickly made on planes around the world. Malaysia Airlines has 15 Boeing 777-200ER jets in its fleet of about 100 planes. The first was delivered on April 23, 1997. The most recent on Dec. 13, 2004, according to Boeing. The 200ER is one of four versions of the 777. The 777 is capable of flying 7,250 miles nonstop. Its two Rolls-Royce Trent 875 engines each have 74,600 pounds (33.8 tons) of thrust, letting the plane cruise at Mach 0.84, or nearly 640 mph (1,000 kph). A new model has a list price of $261.5 million, although airlines typically negotiate discounts. The 777 was the first twin-engine plane to be immediately certified to fly over the ocean as far as 180 minutes from any emergency landing airport. Government safety regulators have determined that it could fly for nearly three hours on a single engine in the case of an emergency. Such government approval has enabled airlines to fly routes such as New York to Hong Kong nonstop on the 777. Saturday's Malaysia Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing was scheduled to take 5½ hours — one of the shorter routes worldwide for the 777. Malaysia Airlines has its 777s configured to seat 282 passengers with business class and coach cabins. In addition to its ability to fly long distances and hold a large number of passengers, airlines like the 777 because they can fill its long belly with lots of profitable cargo. The jet weighs 316,800 (143 tons) pounds empty but is able to carry another 340,000 (155 tons) pounds of passengers, luggage, cargo and fuel. Less than a third of the space in the belly is taken up by luggage. Boeing has delivered 1,030 of the planes since United Airlines starting flying the first one in June 1995.There are outstanding orders for another 370. Last year, Boeing announced plans to build a new, larger version of the plane in addition to the four current versions.

Re: Did Terrorists Bring Down Malaysian Jet?

The Beijing-bound Boeing 777-200ER vanished from radar off Khota Baru in Malaysia, and no distress call was ever made by the flight crew of MH370. The plane, which was carrying 239 passengers and crew, is thought to have fallen into the South China sea, where Vietnamese rescue craft found a 12-mile oil slick on the water this morning. US Navy ships have also been sent to the search area, and the Malaysian government, which owns part of the airline, has "not ruled anything out" as it tries to ascertain the fate of the aircraft. Washington officials are said to be "closely monitoring" the progress of the search for the widebody. Its last ADS-B "ping" showed the plane flying at 35,000 feet, about 120 miles off the east coast of Malaysia. The flight crew was described as "highly experienced", and the plane's captain, had 33 years with the airline, comprising over 18,000 hours of flight experience.

Primarily in the WAY that he did. I think that getting information out as to what had been going on was an important thing for all of us to know. However, he vetted his information VERY poorly and got a lot of innocent people killed as a result of his scattershot methods of whistleblowing. I have a major problem with that. Unlike many in the "intelligence community" however, he did serve a valid purpose in letting folks know what our own government had been up to. However, he REALLY should have limited his release to generalizations (with proof) rather than the unnecessary specifics that were releases with everything else. He did an awful lot of damage to GOOD works and the result of his activity has literally crippled the legitimate intelligence gathering we had been doing. NSA has been neutered as far as their ability to dig into what's going on in Ukraine and other places as a result. With what I've done for the past 15 years or so, I do appreciate a little more of the details than many. I only wish he had the same understandings and had limited the details a bit.
