Aircraft lost contact

Traditionally regarded as one of the safest planes in the skies, the Boeing 777’s reputation will have been damaged by the second fatal crash in less than a year.
There are around 1,000 Boeing 777s in service, and the plane is a long haul workhorse, plying some of the longest routes.
It entered service in 1995 and the National Transportation Safety Board, which is responsible for monitoring US-made aircraft, has logged fewer than 60 incidents.
But the recent record has been more patchy with two major incidents – a crash at San Francisco airport last July, which claimed three lives, and the crash-landing of a British Airways 777 at Heathrow in January 2008.
But the Malaysian disaster is very different from both the BA incident and the crash involving a Asiana Airlines flight at San Francisco International Airport in July.
Both the BA and Asiana accidents occurred shortly before landing, while the Malaysia airlines plane disappeared off the radar during the early stages of the trip.
波音777機型一向被認為是空中客機中最安全的機型，但是在不到一年的時間裡發生的兩起墜機事故令它名聲掃地。

全球共有1000架波音777客機正在使用中。飛機是一個長距離運輸的交通工具，擔負著一些最長距離航行的任務。

波音777在1995年投入使用，美國國家運輸安全委員會負責監視美國製造的飛機，至今數據庫中有的事故記錄不超過60條。

但是最近兩起重大事故使得數據庫的記錄看起來很不和諧——去年7月份韓亞航空舊金山發生的墜機事故(造成三人死亡)和2008年1月份英國航空的波音777客機在希思羅機場的迫降事件。

然而馬來西亞這次的飛行事故，與英航事故和7月份在舊金山國際機場的韓亞航空墜機事故非常不同。

英航和韓亞航空的事故都是發生在著陸前的一小段時間裡，而馬航失事客機的信號在航行不久便在雷達探測儀上消失了。
