They probably notified their government very quickly. Telling the media before they knew anything certain would be pointless.Originally posted by B757300 View PostAre we sure it is 9M-MRO? I've seen that reg. mentioned, but no one saying for certain.

Unconfirmed reports that it landed safely in Nanming, China
I find this hard to believe but I sure hope I'm wrong.
edit: Probably nonsense. China says it never showed up in their airspace.AirDisaster.com Forum Member 2004-2008

Having flown over the Gulf if Thailand many times no doubt it will turn up soon.
The Gulf is full of thousands and i mean thousands of fishing boats.
Enough that you coukd almost mistake the water for a star filled sky.
The weather in my experience is generally fairly benign this time of year with the monsoon in the Southern hemisphere.
Ho Chi Monh uses datalink for primary comms so getting out a distress message would not be as easy as via Vhfut a call should of if possible been put out on vhf anyway.
Sounds sudden..guess we will find out at some point soon but i doubt it will be long just due to the incredible number of shipping traffic.
