Suspicious object A Singaporean aircraft also reported a floating object resembling an emergency slide about 140km from Tho Chu Island.
The Ministry of National Defence approved allowing three vessels, two from China and one of US, to enter domestic waters in search of the missing plane.
Search team keeps up with information
The Chinese media has reported that one of the Chinese men who was supposed to be on the plane, said he had never gone overseas or lost passport. On the list of Malaysian Airlines, the passenger’s name is Zhao Qiwei, but the man with identical passport has Yu surname in the government’s database. The Chinese police verified his claims of never having traveled outside of China.
Speculation runs amok after it was discovered that two passengers on the plane used stolen passports to board the flight. The Austrian and Italian men who owned the passports both had theirs stolen.
