GOOD MORNING MY FELLOW DISS D UPDATE ON D MISSING PLANE Missing Malaysia plane: Search area widened 9 March 2014 Last updated at 05:07 Rescue teams looking for a missing Malaysia Airlines flight have widened their search area, the Malaysian transport minister says. They are investigating the possibility the plane turned back after losing contact, Hishammuddin Hussein said. He said investigators were checking the entire passenger list and that counter terrorism units have been informed. Flight MH370 disappeared south of Vietnam more than 24 hours ago with 239 people on board. Air and sea rescue teams have been searching an area of the South China Sea south of Vietnam. Mr Hussein told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur that this area had now been widened. We are looking at the possibility of an aircraft turn-back, he said. Different locations will have to be identified. Vietnamese navy ships have reached two oil slicks which were spotted earlier, but they found no signs of wreckage.
