INTO THIN AIR? Investigators Chase 'Every Angle' In Missing Malaysia Jet....CLAIM: Plane May Have Disintegrated Mid-Flight... Hopes Dashed After Floating 'Yellow Object' Is Identified As Sea Trash... Search Team Can't Find Suspected Jet Door... 'Unprecedented Mystery'... Investigators Probing 'Every Angle'... Interpol: Security Lapse Of 'Great Concern'... LATEST UPDATES

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia (AP) — Rescue helicopters and ships searching for a Malaysia Airlines jet rushed Monday to investigate a yellow object that looked like a life raft. It turned out to be moss-covered trash floating in the ocean, once again dashing hopes after more than two days of fruitless search for the plane that disappeared en route to Beijing with 239 people on board.

With no confirmation that the Boeing 777 had crashed, hundreds of distraught relatives waited anxiously for any news. Thai police and Interpol questioned the proprietors of a travel agency in the resort town of Pattaya that sold one-way tickets to two men now known to have been traveling on flight MH370 using stolen passports.

Malaysia's Department of Civil Aviation chief, Azharuddin Abdul Rahman, told a news conference that investigators were looking at "every angle" to explain the plane's disappearance early Saturday, including hijacking.

"There are many experts around the world who have contributed their knowhow and knowledge," Azharuddin said. "As far as we are concerned, we are equally puzzled as well." more
