I don't know what's happened. But it looks bad for those on-board. My thoughts are with them and their loved ones..

it's crazy, I don't know what's going on... I've never seen airplanes go missing like that

I firmly believe the first aircraft was taken somewhere and landed for some future terriost event. That aircraft was lost in a gigantic search area with extremly deep waters. This aircraft is lost in a much smaller sea and the depth is only about 150 feet deep. They will either find the plane or not and if not then they will know it was taken somewhere.

Yes, that one.

I don't know but I heard the first one was taken to the 4th dimension (a drunk girl's theory), but yeah, another big bird missing with all the search-hi-tech-that-has-been-developed is very strange, hope they find it soon.


10 hours since the incident

If it has crashed into the sea, maybe some have survived. But not heard of anything being found yet. And time is ticking by...

i agree with crockett, except they fu & lost the first one somehow so this is try #2. Or they've been shot down while making a run for that big building in kuala lumpor.

Looks like they have found the plane, or what's left of it. No sign of any survivors...

What should be learnt from these airplane disappearances is that the current way for tracking airplanes is ineffective...
Think about it, you can find your stolen phone but not a huge airliner...
My thoughts are with the families of the passengers and crew that were onboard the stricken jet.
We can't say what might have been the cause of the crash because there isn't any evidence yet. The black box would be of great help.
For those of you who aviation isn't their strong hold, the plane has 2 black boxes (actually they are orange), 1 records the voice in the cockpit and the other records airplane parameters. If the pilots were discussing the problem amongst themselves, as they likely were the investigators can establish if pilot error is in question. The other black box records engine data, autopilot data, position of the flight controls etc. this might point to some machanical failure. This recorder also has wind speed outside the plane. With these 2 black boxes the investigators can start to understand what the plane experienced and the crews' reaction. It is known till now that the pilot asked the controller to climb to a higher altitude due to the storm, the controller didn't give permission for the pilot to climb ( in busy airspace it's common that pilots have to wait until the attitude they requested is clear of traffic). One insteresting thing to note is that all pilots are taught "U can never out climb a storm" ( it grows with such a rate that an airliner rate of climb isn't enough to fly above it, besides these storms may go up to 40,000 feet).
I hope that was of some help to understand the current situation and avoid being mislead by unreliable media sources.

Just remembered that Air Asia had an accident were the plane overrun the runway...
As a student pilot I can relate well to all those persons effected by airplane accident. For who believes in God pray for the families.
If any of you are going to fly, I wish you a safe flight from my heart.
C u in the lead filled sky

Well it was found. Very tragic. Air Asia needs to get it together.
