AirAsia Plane With 162 Aboard Missing After Call for Course Shift - NBC News

An AirAsia flight carrying 162 people from Indonesia to Singapore went missing Sunday, after the pilot asked for permission to change course due to weather, the airline said.

"AirAsia Indonesia regrets to confirm that flight QZ8501 from Surabaya to Singapore has lost contact with air traffic control at 07:24hrs this morning," the airline said in a statement.

The flight was scheduled to land at 8:30 a.m. local time, a spokesman for Singapore's Changi Airport said. AirAsia announced the flight's disappearance on its Facebook page about three hours after the plane was scheduled to arrive.

It appears I am not the only person that suspects the possibility of foul play here. Note several of the most recent comments - 1 hour or go or less...

  • Its probably parked on the tarmac near mh370 being altered to carry explosives or bio weapons to us soil

Let's hope that is not what is happening here.

It is a bit suspicious, what with ISIS, NK, Putin,etc. Over on twitter, a few are suspicious.

And am I wrong, but wasn't Obama MIA in Hawaii the last time a flight in Asia wound up missing? His timing sucks.

Don Lemon has the answer.....

I cannot remember, Gracie. CTV news is reporting a plane crashed in the vicinity and wreckage was found but the news media in US is not picking up the story. They made clear they had not confirmed it was this plane and I suspect it probably isn't or ABC news or one of the other mainstream media news channels would have mentioned it. This is the latest news I found online: AirAsia Plane With 162 on Board Missing in Indonesia - ABC News

AirAsia, which has a presence in most of Southeast Asia and recently India, has never lost a plane before and has a good safety track record.

"We don't dare to presume what has happened except that it has lost contact." Djoko Murjatmodjo, Indonesia's acting director general of transportation, told reporters. He said the last communication between the pilot and air traffic control was at 6.13 a.m. (2313 GMT Saturday) when the pilot "asked to avoid clouds by turning left and going higher to 34,000 feet."

He said there was no distress signal from the cockpit.

The contact was lost about 42 minutes after the single-aisle, twin-engine jetliner took off from Surabaya airport, Hadi Mustofa, an official of the transportation ministry told Indonesia's MetroTV. It was about an hour before it was scheduled to land in Singapore at 0030gmt.

The plane had two pilots, five cabin crew and 155 passengers, including 16 children and one infant, AirAsia Indonesia said in a statement. Indonesian officials had earlier said there were 161 people on board.

The AirAsia statement said there were six foreigners on board? three South Koreans and one each from Singapore, Malaysia and France. The rest were Indonesians.

It said the captain in command had a total of 6,100 flying hours, a substantial number, and the first officer a total of 2,275 flying hours.

At Surabaya airport, dozens of relatives sat in a room, many of them talking on mobile phones and crying. Some looked dazed. As word spread, more and more family members were arriving at the crisis center to await word.

Murjatmodjo, the Indonesian official, said the plane is believed to have gone missing somewhere over the Java Sea between Tanjung Pandan on Belitung island and Pontianak, on Indonesia's part of Kalimantan island.
____________________
Note the Belitung Island is on that course. That is where the plane wreckage has reportedly been found and they claimed a crash was confirmed. Yet they state that they haven't confirmed it is connected to this flight. As they had already been searching quite a few hours for the plane I'm guessing that probably was not the plane. We'll see.

The UK just reported this news report and included an unconfirmed report of plane wreckage found in Belitung Island. CTV had reported a plane crash confirmed and wreckage - could not confirm it was Air Asia plane - Looks like it may factor in after all. Why is the UK always out in front of us for reporting the latest news? Very frustrating!

This report came in 27 minutes ago. Another news agency reporting:
UPDATED AirAsia Airbus A320 Flight QZ8501 Has Potentially Crashed Over Indonesian Airspace - AirlineReporter.com

 

[Gracie]

Lets hope that there may be survivors.

 

[Indofred]

I am having to read this twice. This is just absolutely unbelievable!!

Yeah I had to check twice myself. What's up with this section of the world and it's airlines?

One was lost with no clue what happened.
One was shot down.
This airline, Air Asia, has never lost an aircraft - until now.

 

[Politico]

They kill their own, too.

Especially ISIS. They seem to have no rules when it comes to who they kill.

For a plane that can be used in a terrorist attack, Skye.

Didn't take long for the conspiracy theories to start I see.

 

[Indofred]

As a note, but an unlikely one; there have just been arrests of extremist groups trying to smuggle fighters to Syria via Malaysia.
It's very unlikely to be a terrorist related loss, but it has to be mentioned.
It seems the last contact showed the aircraft attempting to climb, but losing airspeed.
This suggests engine trouble, possibly caused by hailstones in the thunderstorm.

 

[Indofred]

Isn't Indonesia mostly muslim?

Yes, and so were nearly all of the passengers, and Malaysia is also nearly all Muslim.

Some of the passenger list has been on TV here.
Many of the names are clearly Christian, many Muslims as well.
Much as terrorism can't be ruled out, it's very unlikely when you consider the information available at this time.

 

[Indofred]

This one sounds like a weather casualty.

I agree with you.


Why would Islamic terrorists go all the way for that.

Doesn't make sense....no gain there

Terrorists tend to do stupid things, but they claim their part very quickly.
No claim from any of the idiot groups suggests other causes.

 

[Indofred]

Idiots are all over the internet.
One bunch of morons are posting a picture of a volcano in Papua, suggesting it to be the flight crashing.
This forum has a good share of daft twats, willing to post total shit in some daft attempt to push their hate agenda.

 

[Indofred]

It'll be dark in about 30 minutes, making any search extremely difficult until the morning.

CNN showed the weather map in this area, the weather wasn't great. For a pilot to ask to change course to avoid the thunder heads isn't unreasonable. It's too early in the investigation to conclude terrorism especially when there are other reasonable possibilities. Shit does happen.

That is true, Fred, however no one has ever taken responsibility for the missing Malaysian jumbo jet - which disappeared without a trace. Now this one has gone missing. You have my sympathy for this awful situation. I was up late into the morning reading the news articles and it is clear to see the anguish on the faces of these people awaiting any news. Truly tragic.
