"We deeply regret that we have lost all contacts with flight MH370 which departed Kuala Lumpur at 12.41 am earlier this morning bound for Beijing. The aircraft was scheduled to land at Beijing International Airport at 6.30am local Beijing time. Subang Air Traffic Control reported that it lost contact at 2.40am (local Malaysia time) today.
Flight MH370 was operated on a Boeing B777-200 aircraft. The flight was carrying a total number of 239 passengers and crew – comprising 227 passengers (including 2 infants), 12 crew members. The passengers were of 13 different nationalities. Malaysia Airlines is currently working with the authorities who have activated their Search and Rescue team to locate the aircraft."

Local news Channel 19 just reported that the aircraft continued to (try to?)ping satellites for several hours
This brings up a question about the ability to constantly communicate with satellites, Why arent black boxes wired to a transmitter to send out flight deck voice and flight information? Do we not have the technology to do this? Seems like something that should be done in todays times on aircraft.(if buses can do it, why not aviation?(security cameras on buses))
