Ships continue to search even at night. Outcome so far - no sign of aircraft. Although confirmed reports of oil spills. Not verified yet by authorities. The possibility of aircraft turn back has also included the straits of malacca - no aircraft. Not ruling our possibility of hijack. Main concern in finding the aircraft - once found easier to establish what exactly has happened. Authorities are concerned and investigating the 2 passports.
Investigating false passports at all angle. Investigating team will give us the report of the two names of false passports. To give them full authority before releasing information. ETL - emergency transmission locator no signal. Last communication was from when plane shifted from local airspace to Vietnamese airspace. Videos of 2 passengers being looked at by investigators.
