Very troubling--plane from Kuala Lumpur to Bejing has vanished with 229 passengers. Two of the passengers bought tickets and boarded with passports that had been reported stolen many months prior.

One report (I read online and can't find any more), also stated the preliminary scanning revealed no explosions in the area where the flight was last on the radar. International cooperation is working to try to figure out what happened and searching the area. Two oil slicks have been spotted in the ocean, similar to the size and placement of fuel tanks. No distress was reported by the crew nor any distress code sent.
