Specifically, “denied a request” to climb because there was an airplane above ?

I wonder why it took about an hour and a half from the time it disappeared from radar to officially declare it missing? If it went below the radar it could traveled hundreds of miles in that time.

too many similarities ... if you see or read anything would appreciate a ping ... facts are difficult to find.

Maybe the age of the plane. It wasn’t a minor in plane years.

Prayers up that this is so. Several questions emerge, especially that WHAT IN THE WORLD WOULD BE KEEPING THE PILOTS FROM REPORTING IN??????

If the plane were on the bottom of the ocean, that would be only about 300 - 500 feet deep in that area, quite shallow as far as the ocean goes, and easily findable.

The Malaysians/Indonesians/Australians have a lousy track record of finding missing planes

Maybe they should seek professional help.

All hell is going to break loose if they don’t find debris SOON.
