hmad Jauhari Yahya, the chief executive of Malaysia Airlines, noted in a statement that there had been speculation that the plane might have landed safely somewhere along the route to Beijing, and said that the airline was checking on this. But in a telephone interview, Lai Xuan Thanh, the director of Vietnam’s Civil Aviation Administration, expressed concern about the aircraft’s fate even while saying that his country was committed to the rescue effort. “Vietnam has ordered airplanes and military ships for the work, but we have not had any result yet,” he said. “Right now, we have not had much to comment on, but the possibility of an accident is high.” Lt. Col. Pham Hong Soi, the head of the propaganda department of the Vietnam Navy for the region near the crash site, said that one rescue vessel had already been ordered to sea and two more had been made ready for departure.
