The mystery of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 deepened Monday after search crews in the waters south of Vietnam failed to find any debris from the plane that disappeared on Saturday local time.
Vietnamese authorities thought they may have spotted a door from the missing Boeing 777 jet about 90 kilometres south of the country’s Tho Chu Island, but ships searching the area could not find the rectangular object seen from the sky. A closer look at a yellow object that resembled a life raft revealed it was just trash floating in the water.
Flight red sox green monster tickets MH370 took off from Kuala Lumpur at 12:41 a.m. Saturday en route to Beijing. Somewhere between Malaysia and Vietnam, red sox green monster tickets the plane carrying 227 passengers and 12 crew members lost contact with ground controllers.
Because the flight crew didn’t send out any distress signals or attempt to make contact with ground control before the Boeing 777 disappeared, authorities have not been able to rule out the possibility that terrorists, or a hijacking attempt, brought the plane down.
It has been confirmed that two people got on the plane using stolen passports, but there is still no indication that they had anything to do with the plane’s demise. Malaysian authorities are also investigating red sox green monster tickets unconfirmed reports of two other passengers with stolen or forged passports.
Aviation experts have said that catastrophic accidents at a cruising altitude of 35,000 feet are rare – most airline disasters happen at takeoff or landing. And if the plane had somehow disintegrated over the South China Sea, debris would have been scattered over a large area, security and counter-terrorism expert Alan Bell told CTV’s Canada AM Monday.
Bell told Canada AM that terrorists, red sox green monster tickets drug smugglers, red sox green monster tickets human traffickers and other types of criminals around the world routinely use stolen passports red sox green monster tickets to get around. Most airport security staff don’t have the time or manpower to run every passport through the Interpol database – checks are usually only done if a passenger seems suspicious, Bell said.
However, he noted that some countries are more diligent than others when it comes to checking for use of stolen passports. The United States, for example, uses the Interpol database about 250 million times a year, he said.
Searching for pieces of a plane that went down over a large body of water could take days, or weeks, since bits of wreckage could be kilometres apart. If the plane was intact when it hit the water, it may have sunk, leaving little evidence of the crash.

There were no survivors red sox green monster tickets and it took investigators three years to finally piece together what happened. They concluded that a combination of ice buildup, mechanical failure and pilot error were to blame.
