Time Zones - Be aware
To pre-empt any discussion related to times. Vietnam is 1 hr *behind* Malaysia despite being geographically to the East.
That is, as I write, the time is 9:23 pm in Malaysia and 8:23 pm in Vietnam.
Keep that in mind when reading reports from different sources and especially the time of last reported contact - which may well introduce a 1hr ambiguity in flight duration.
This may well explain why the supposed crash location is an hour out from KL but is reported as two hours - which would be North of Vietnam.
