It is not the same airline this time, (Air Asia) but it's still a major carrier using a reliable aircraft (Airbus A320-200) with 161 people.

4th time this has happened to an Asian airline in the last year and a half.

I didn't believe the narrative the 2nd or 3rd time. Can't wait to hear what they come up with this time that isn't terrorism.

There were extremely strong storms in the area. The plane requested to increase altitude to 38000 feet to avoid them but some of the cells actually reached 50000 feet into the air.

I saw the radar from the time of crash and I'm surprised they would even try to fly through storms that strong.

I'm sure it's weather related, but wouldn't be surprised if North Korea doesn't try to take credit as revenge for the Interview movie being released as an example of Their reach throughout the World.

I think you are right. This is just probably weather related. Won't stop all the conspiracy theories though.

Sad, another episode of Air Disasters on Smithsonian forthcoming. Just watched an episode
of a crew trying to fly through a storm, although on board radar was good enough to warrant
diverting to another airport.

*cough* ERC

these Asian peoples must stop flying until they learn what is happening... are they too small to see over the steering wheel?

The Bermuda Triangle has shifted 180 degrees to South Asia.

There's actually an area there that has some Bermuda Triangle attributes. Not sure if this plane was close to there, and I don't think MH370 was, but we certainly noted it on West Pac deployments.

The Strange thing is the report came in about lost contact at around 7:24 about losing complete contact but they were picking up trace transponder signals at 7;59 some distance away and then nothing. If the plane broke up in the storm, it might be possible that like in a tornado the pieces of the aircraft could be carried a hundred miles farther than where contact was lost. This could be a very hard recovery if any at all. Prayers go out to the Families and Recovery teams.

The Java Sea has an average depth of 151 feet, which is shallower than four of the five great lakes. (Erie 62, Huron 195, Michigan 279, Ontario 259, & Superior 483). It also happens to be a major shipping lane, and it's proximity to land means the seabed has already been mapped.

This plane will be found rather quickly unless there was an MH370 style incident where it ends up being in a completely different area from where it lost contact.

Debris found around 3 hundred miles farther away . They are sending crews to investigate.

That's what we heard about Malaysia 500 times.

Yeah, Who really knows. The report last night was the transponder showed while the plane was climbing to 38,000 ft the Airspeed decreased to 100 mph slower than needed to remain in the air. I still think it went into the Major storm and Broke apart and uplifts and turbulance carried the pieces a long way at that altitude before falling back to earth and into the ocean.

Hell I'm still curious to find out what happened to the Malaysia flight.

Just a few months back Someone finally found a piece of Aircraft belonging to Amelia Earhart.

I just hope that Jet doesn't return loaded with explosives piloted by a terrorist cell group.

I've always found myself entranced in a good unexplained/unsolved mystery. Not with a murder though.

Folks have spotted debris and bodies in the ocean.
