AirAsia Flight 8501 Missing

As I was closing up shop for the night, I ran across this:

I'm trying like mad to pull up multiple windows on the computer so I can submit it for SOTT, but because of our internet connection I'm having difficulties. I hope someone sees this and can get it put up soon!

ADDED: SOTT's already on it. Blah, I didn't find it on my first search. Sorry for the noise. :-[ Off to bed I go. :zzz:
 
Yea, the C's did say it'll be more common - hitting so close to home again unnerved me.. But as all else, I hope for the best.

9:15pm PST: Via the Indonesia Air Transportation direction, they stated that the pilot of QZ8501 requested a “left track” to avoid clouds and also wanted to climb to 38,000 feet. There was bad weather in the area at the time, but 100s of airlines fly daily through bad weather and it might not be related.

7:34pm PST: Hadi Mustofa of the Indonesian Transport Ministry stated that flight QZ8501 lost contact with Jakarta at 6:17am local (23:17GMT). The aircraft was reported to have requested an “unusual” route.

PST Timings are report timings, not aircraft request timings.
 
As of now, No confirmed crash site has been reported and I'm watching the news live. If indeed it crash at the alleged location as reported by RT, There are many fishermen around the area, but no reports indicating that it did crash or otherwise. Indonesian Navy and Airforce ships and helis are at the site by now. Bad weather had been causing more than usual rain in Malaysia and Indonesia this month, with more rain to come all through next month. The last communication with the Indonesia controller was the pilot asking to increase altitude to avoid thick 'cumulonimbus' cloud near Belitung island south of Singapore. MH370 disappearance could also be around 1000 km perimeter (?) from QZ8501. No confirmed finding still.

Air Asia is Malaysia’s low-cost airline based in Kuala Lumpur, however the missing jet is from the Indonesian subsidiary.

The company is based in KL, and is considered a good airline with an impeccable safety record.

The disappearance of QZ8501 is the third major incident involving an Asian airline this year.

Meanwhile Air Asia has changed its Facebook profile picture from red to grey after announcing the disappearance of the A320-200.


AirAsia #QZ8501: There were several aircraft nearby when signal from the flight was lost, FlightRadar24 data shows.

Just now watching live BBC interview with Indonesian Navy authorities, so far nothing has been confirmed.
 
WOw ,thank you guys for the updates ,i just got the news from my brother who knew about it reading on the internet thid morning ,the first thought was as most of you i think what the C's said ,that there will be more similar incidents like the malaysian plane MH70.Very interesting indeed.
 
What the heck is up with these Asia flights? Is there some bubble of thinning density border?

One commenter on RT says Israeli retaliation:
Its time for Interpol to carry out the Malasyian Courts ruling who tried multiple Israeli Leaders and Officials for multiple War Crimes following the mass execution of civilians on board the Gaza Peace Convoy passenger ships. Malaysia has demanded Interpol capture and extradite the convicted in absentia Israeli War Criminals back to Malaysia to Malaysian prisons. This was then followed by the string of Malaysian passenger jets going down.

Could this be some kind of revenge?
In November 2013, the tribunal convicted State of Israel guilty of genocide of the Palestinian people and convicted former Israeli general Amos Yaron for crimes against humanity and genocide for his involvement in the Sabra and Shatila massacre.[12]

Wreckage seems to be not found yet. Flight QZ8501 till now is quite similar to flight MH370: with both there was a last normal communication with air control, no emergency message, both just lost contact with radar, and both seem to have done strange flight patterns on the fatal flight. Hopefully this one will be found.

I wonder if that is a typical 'no show' number? Does seem quite a lot.
