AirAsia flight missing--Found (1 Viewer)

Not only the same schtick but repeat it over and over x 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000. They would save a lot of personnel money if they just record all the news 1 x and play it over and over until something new is found..

 
CNN doing their same shtick.

"What would they be looking for on the cockpit voice recorder?"
They need to get Christo on that channel as the aviation expert.

Give him access to the latest aviation blogs and a big :lmao: sign he can hold up when other experts disagree with him. :thumbup:

Surely nothing can be said at this point except that if it is a disappearance (and one of course hopes it is not, that the plane is and will remain safe) or discoverable disaster its sinister purpose would be to brake the consistency of the most surreal coincidence that, like a vengeful ghost, points to the disparate yet coincidentally connected involvement of the U.S. in both Malaysian Airlines disasters. That is, that a potential disaster to a third commercial airline (that is pointedly not of Malaysian Airlines) in the Pacific at the close of the year distracts from the question of U.S. involvement (direct or instigatory) in the downing of the Malaysian Airlines over Ukraine and breaks the surreal, statistically unprecedented, ghostly coincidence and consistency of two Malaysian Airlines planes succumbing to unresolved disasters within the span of months and within the same year and in a manner that as a phenomenon of previously unheard of mystery betokens deception at the highest levels of political and military power.

BREAKING: Top rescue official says authorities believe missing #AirAsia #QZ8501 jet is “in the bottom of the sea”

Why would anyone make this statement? Seems kinda pointless and rude to the families.
From watching CNN I think there had been some debate as to whether the pilots could have pulled off a Hudson type landing on the water and that perhaps passengers could have gotten out and that kind of thing. I think this means the conclusion is no, that didn't happen, it is what it is sadly.

Again, like the flight earlier this year, isn't it totally bizarre that there wasn't some kind of distress signal or call for help? The plane is at altitude and just vanishes without a peep?

 
CNN doing it's best here..............

However, not unlike MH370, there are all those blocks to fill each hour with little in the way of concrete facts to pass along. This is where heavy speculation rears its curious head, as it did early Sunday with this gem from CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo when asked if terrorism was involved in the plane’s disappearance:

“At this point, given it was extremely bad weather, the chances of this being some sort of a terrorist activity are very small,” Schiavo said. “Because most terrorist activity takes place in good weather.” :lmao: :lmao:

“For example,” she added, “9/11.”

So taking that analysis at face value, if it happened to rain on 9/11 (a sunny, clear Tuesday along the east coast if you recall), would the 19 hijackers simply aborted a plan years in the making until, say, that Friday when conditions were better? Or was that day chosen because Tuesdays are invariably the slowest air travel day of the week, thereby minimizing the chances of additional passengers disrupting the objective? Note: That’s speculation since that question has never been answered definitively, hence the disclaimer.

Quality work here. :thumbup:

 
You know, it's too bad that MOP isn't here to tell us that these planes should have built-in parachutes for each seat with a breakaway top for the fuselage.

I'm not usually a conspiracy theory guy, but this is weird. If you're going to try and steal a jumbo jet, you're not likely going to pull that off with one cruising over Boston. You're going to find one that is on the other side of the world, run by some Asian airline that isn't as sophisticated, without the FAA watching, and one without a ton of US citizens on board so you don't have the US heavy on the hunt. Starting to wonder if there's a terrorist-owned hanger somewhere in Asia with a bunch of "missing" jumbo jets parked inside. You could concoct some pretty awful scenarios if you had a bunch of jumbo jets at your disposal.
None of the missing planes are jumbo jets. HTH
It doesn't help because the Malaysian Airlines was a 777. That is a jumbo (wide body) jet
The only Jumbo is the 747.
But not the Airbus A380, which is larger?

 
Going to need some assistance here:

A gigantic airplane crashes (?) due to weather... The plane is now under water. Why don't they know where it is? We covered this in the MH370 thread, but I need a refresher.

because its not at the bottom of the ocean. the plane is perfectly fine sitting in some terrorist hangar in somalia.

 
It took about one day to locate wreckage of Air France 447 in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean... I just find it odd that they haven't located anything and are expanding the search radius in a highly traveled area in a relatively shallow sea.

I'm not a conspiracy theory guy, but WTF...

No, It's a wide body two story aircraft. The Jumbo Jet is the 747.

 
When I visited the Airbus factury outside Hamburg, apart from seeing the A320 family that is being built there (now mostly the neo version) we also went into the hangar where they were doing some work on the fuselage on A380. From top to bottom of the fuselage is about 25 feet. Seeing a guy standing on the middle deck really brought home the size. That is a very, very large plane.

Not a Jumbo Jet, though.

 
So the CEO of AirAsia is calling it the worst day of his life. I would guess it would be now that tickets sales are going to be real low for awhile... :D And anyone else think he looks to sporty with his baseball looking cap/ too casual? Seems he was interrupted from vacation too.

 
I think a new missing plane warrants it's own missing plane thread.
Agreed. I don't think Tom meant that this didn't deserve it's own thread. His comment was just made...well...It was the heat of the moment.
Anyways, now that Tim is stuck to one thread, the need to consolidate has been greatly reduced.
Sorry you didn't like my comment. I never meant to be so bad to you. It's one thing I said I'd never do.
So no one is digging my Asia cross-references?

:shamelessplug:

It is the holiday season, after all.

I wonder if they will ask again like they did with the other one why we call it the black box and it's really orange..
Waiting for the link to satellite photos so we can help find the debris field...
Here we go: http://www.smh.com.au/digital-life/digital-life-news/airasia-flight-qz-8501-armchair-spotters-claim-debris-oil-found-in-newly-released-satellite-imagery-20141230-12fd7t.html

Maybe we need to try something different this time?
