A Malaysia Airlines flight carrying 227 passengers, including five Indians, from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing went missing on Saturday. In the picture, a man stands beside the arrival board showing the flight MH370 (top-red) at the Beijing Airport.
The mother of a missing passenger talks on a mobile phone at her house in Kuala Lumpur on March 8, 2014. The Vietnamese state media reported that the Boeing 777-200ER flight crashed into the South China Sea on Saturday.

Malaysia Airlines is yet to confirm whether the aircraft has crashed.
A worker at the Beijing airport writes on a sign board advising relatives of the missing passengers to go to a nearby hotel for information on the flight.
The missing flight last had contact with air traffic controllers 120 nautical miles off the east coast of the Malaysian town of Kota Bharu, Malaysia Airlines chief executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya said.
If it is confirmed that the plane has crashed, the loss would mark the second fatal accident involving a Boeing 777 in less than a year and by far the worst since it entered service in 1995.
