Malaysia Airlines said in a statement that it was working with the
authorities who have activated their search and rescue team to locate the
aircraft.
An unconfirmed report from a flight tracking website said the plane had
plunged more than 200 metres and changed course in the last minute that it
had transmitted data.

the Asiana crash last July in San Fransico.
