Malaysian airlines are holding a Press Conference Saturday afternoon local time. The Malaysian Defence Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein has asked members of the public to not speculate news on the “missing” Malaysia Airlines flight.
The 777 is one of my favourite planes. Until last July, there had not been a fatal crash of this type in 20 years of commercial flying. Asiana airlines 214 clipped a sea wall while landing at San Francisco in All 16 crew members survived and 288 of the 291 passengers survived. The plane was a write off.
