Oil slicks signaled that a missing Malaysian Airline System Bhd. jet may have crashed in the Gulf of Thailand even as the mystery surrounding the plane deepened with the discovery that two passengers used stolen passports.
An air search resumed today after Vietnam’s military said it found twin sheens as long as 15 kilometers (9 miles) off the country’s south coast yesterday. That may mark the first clue in the disappearance of Flight 370 and the 239 people on board the Boeing Co. 777-200 en route to Beijing from Kuala Lumpur.
