HOURS after the disappearance of QZ8501, aviation experts are already comparing the incident with the yet to be solved mystery of MH370.

Like MH370, the AirAsia Indonesia flight disappeared from radars and made no further communication with Air Traffic Control early into the flight from Surabaya to Singapore. ...

As the aircraft descended below the overcast layer of clouds at approximately 8,000 ft above ground level, the pilots saw the Bengawan Solo River and decided to attempt a ditching with the flaps and gear retracted.[1] When the aircraft made an emergency landing, the plane hit a rock in the river and underwent sudden decompression that caused one flight attendant to be sucked away from the plane.

Gadzooks! Someone at Wikipedia has been watching Goldfinger get sucked out a Lockheed Jetstar's window way too many times!

LOL!

First, you ask a question answered in the article.

Second, you suggest flying near DG would be reason to down a commercial airliner.

Guess who has the credibility problem?

The similarity I see is that both flights originated in Muslim majority nations. In fact, Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim-majority nation, at over 85%; Malaysia's state religion is Islam with over 60% of the population Muslim.

I still say the most likely scenario that explains everything that happened with flight MH370 is that the Chinese took action after learning that Muslim extremists had got a WMD on the plane headed for Beijing. Whether Muslim terrorists have anything to do with AirAsia flight QZ8501's disappearance remains to be seen, but what Indonesia and Malaysia have in common is Muslim majority populations including extremist elements that have committed acts of terrorism in the past.
