An oil rig worker says he may have seen the missing Malaysia Airlines flight burning in
the gulf of Thailand.
New Zealander Mike McKay was working on an offshore oil rig off the coast of Vietnam
and has now met with Vietnamese officials to provide details of what he saw.
While he didn't want to speak to media, he told authorities he might have
seen the jetliner burning as it passed the rig in the Gulf of Thailand.
According to Michael, the information that he had provided us is real. The information
will be studied and used in the search for the aircraft.
Malaysian officials said the last civilian contact from the aircraft was when it flew
north into the Gulf of Thailand and are now considering expanding the search to the Indian
Ocean after the plane disappeared with no trace almost a week ago.
