The Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 was bound for China and was  due to land at Beijing airport at 6.30 a.m. (5.30 p.m. EST Friday), but  it lost contact with Malaysian air traffic controller less than one  after its departure.Since yesterday, searching operations have been concentrating on the  South China Sea, off the coast of Vietnam, after Vietnamese vessels  reported oil slicks. However, no traces of wreckage have emerged so far  and searches have been extended to the Gulf of Thailand. The disappearance of the aircraft is becoming increasingly mysterious  as flight experts point out that crashes usually happen during takeoff  or landing operations. Furthermore, the pilots gave no signals of  distress and cut off communication abruptly without any calls for help. Rodzali Daud, Malaysian air force chief, said that preliminary  investigations on the radars signals records revealed that the plane had  left his flight path and turned back. To add to the mystery there is  evidence that two of the 239 passengers on board were travelling with  stolen passports belonging to Italian and Austrian citizens. At the  moment it cannot be ruled out that the two men were travelling together,  as their tickets were purchased at the same time from Chinese Southern  Airlines, which shares the flight with Malaysian airlines. Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera wrote on Saturday the  Luigi Meraldi, 37, was listed among the passengers of the Malaysian  Airlines missing plane. However, it has now emerged that the man is safe  and sound and that he was issued a new passport after his old one was  stolen in Thailand last year. Similarly, after initial reports from news media in Austria about the  presence of an Austrian national on board of the flight, the Foreign  Ministry in Vienna said that the man was safe at home and that his  passport was stolen during a journey in Thailand two years ago. Evidence that the missing plane changed is flight path and was  carrying two men travelling with stolen passports suggests that the  Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 may have been hijacked on its route to  China. When asked about this possibility, Malaysian Minister of Transport Hishammuddin Hussein told BBC  that the FBI and other international agencies had joined the  investigation and that all possibilities were being examined. He then  added that international terrorism units from several countries had been  activated. Meanwhile, at the airports of Beijing and Kuala Lumpur  grieving relatives of the passengers are nervously waiting for updates  and many of them are filled with anger for the lack of information  authorities are able to provide. The sudden disappearance of the plane is reminiscent of what happened  in 2009 to an Air France flight from Rio de Janeiro to Paris that  plunged into the Atlantic Ocean after a technical problem to which the  pilots could not respond in time. After the accident it took weeks to  find the first victims and the wreckage was finally recovered after  almost two years. While the disappeared Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 could have  accidentally crashed, the presence of two men with stolen passports on  board and the unannounced change of its flight path suggest that the  missing plane may have been hijacked by terrorists. By Stefano Salustri Sources: <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-26502843" target="_blank">BBC</a> <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/four-flew-with-false-id-aboard-malaysia-airlines-plane-that-vanished-over-south-china-sea/2014/03/09/4b0d8a8c-a763-11e3-b61e-8051b8b52d06_story.html" target="_blank">Washington Post</a> <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304732804579427991198487418?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702304732804579427991198487418.html" target="_blank">The Wall Street Journal</a></blockquote>
