pilot failed to gain permission to alter course to avoid a storm cell during a flight from Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore.... http://www.dnaindia.com/world/report-live-in-depth-coverege-of-missing-plane-search-resumes-in-java-sea-for-missing-airasia-flight-qz8501-2047743 ... first paragraph, if doesn’t disappear from article.

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

Wow, a lot of good that did, eh ?

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.

Let’s see if this pans out.

Woe ... let me do some research ...

[ThomasThomas]

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

[no-to-illegals]

Keep me updated if you find something else, please.

[no-to-illegals]

All am finding is saying bottom of sea ... Do you have a backup link? Two links, please for confirmation.

[rdl6989]

Everything I find says the same: The wreckage is thought to be on the bottom now.

[2111USMC]

Infowars? Alex Jones?

That’s a cruel hoax someone is playing.

[Jemian]

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.

[no-to-illegals]

47 meters ... should have a confirmation soon or within three days if found below.

[Rome2000]

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.

[no-to-illegals]

three days and then it will be an after all moment ... regrettably

The Singapore Straits Times is reporting the Malaysia government is going to review all operations of the airline:
