Retrieving wreckage from AirAsia Flight To Singapore- no survivors recovered

[ilovepierre]

If it is this plane (that has crashed), they will probably be trying to reach relatives before they announce it to the world .. I think .... wouldn't they?

You would hope so...

Singapore, Australia, Malaysia all have help on standby, if it is called for by Indonesia.

If this plane hasn't crashed, it seems like quite the coincidence that another plane has lost contact with ATC in the same general area as MH370. And that this plane is also a large plane. If I am not mistaken, AirBuses are the largest passenger jet are they not? Not to mention, AirAsia is an affiliate of Malaysian Airlines.

Apparently, AirAsia is not an affiliate of Malaysia Airlines ... this plane/airlines (Indonesian AirAsia) is an affiliate of the Malaysian division of AirAsia.

A gentle reminder: Indonesia AirAsia is an Indonesian airline not Malaysian. Indonesia AirAsia is an affiliate of Malaysian AirAsia. #QZ8501

I'm hearing you. It's just too close isn't. Many people that I work with cannot fathom how and why no debris from MH370 has not been located to date.

Lots of marine vessels in the area of the missing aircraft. If it has crashed in the ocean it won't take long to locate the debris field

FlightRadar24 co-founder Mikael Robertsson told ABC News 24 it looked like the incident was weather related.

"It looks like they have flown into turbulence and requested to climb above the turbulence and during the climb the signal was lost from the aircraft," he said.

He said it was looking "more or less" like a hopeless situation.

isn't that what people said about the Air Malaysia plane?

Yes that is what people said in the first hours when it was falsely believed the Malaysian jet went down in the South China sea which is full of fishing vessels. As we know it disappeared in the south Indian Ocean

IMO, it's because the plane crashed elsewhere (not near Australia or Malaysia).
Search teams spent too much time near Malaysia when they shouldn't have.
By the time they were sent in the right direction, any debris would have sunk by the time they got there.
At least, that's my theory on why no one has been able to find any debris from MH370...

I seem to remember that vessels were many many hours away(like maybe even a whole day away), but you could be correct.

 

[LadyL]

right and let's hope there's not such a long delay in figuring out where this one actually went down

No distress signal had been sent from flight QZ8501, Indonesian Transport Ministry's Joko Muryo Atmodjo said.

I can't believe another plane with ties to Malaysia is gone.

 

[emirates1957]

Just my thoughts only, I am just not buying the weather thingy.

 

[SouthAussie]

No distress signal is weird.

Even if they had been hit by lightening, wouldn't they have had time to put out a mayday? ... or whatever emergency signal planes send when they are in dire trouble. :dunno:

Another silent plane in apparent distress ... scary.

 

[Tulessa]

Just my thoughts only, I am just not buying the weather thingy.

They keep losing those planes? I wonder if they'll be located, after, being used in an attack against the US? Just pondering out loud here...

 

[MsFacetious]

It takes a sickeningly long time to drop from 32k+ feet.
Unless whatever happened disabled all the systems, they should have been able to send an alert.
I am thinking whatever happened basically destroyed the plane immediately.
Which would mean they could not do anything to signal a problem.

I am completely in disbelief that this has happened again. It's unbelievable.

 

[Tulessa]

Am I the only one that is worried about all of those *MISSING* planes?
