The apparent lack of an emergency call interests me. How often do airliners go down without getting off a mayday?

Can a 777 turn off it's transponder and run silent? Could it have defected?

3 hours late now, anyone have any idea if its possible they have enough fuel to even still be in the sky?

As for no radio contact, you have the VHF emergency frequency, SATCOM and even HF. Most of the way from Malaysia to PEK is over or near land, I think. Plus, that airplane sends automatic position reports via datalink with the SATCOM. Pretty well connected. Not good. TC |

My guess is it went down,
should have landed in Beijing almost 3 hours ago.
Prayers for the passengers and crew that I am wrong. |

I suspect that you can find multiple fatal crashes were there was no mayday.

I sort of assumed that - these days - aircraft constantly communicate their positions to their respective agencies via a satellite data link.
Is that not the case? |
