Well I hope this plane can be found(Unlike MH370) these poor families..so many families wiped out..4,5, 6 family members altogether all gone..this is now the 2nd time a plane has met a watery grave
They are already saying it is likely to be at the bottom of the sea and expanding the search areas, bringing in more help...this is the same story as last time and the ending will be the same as well.
Like the MH370, this will slowly fade from the news until it happens again.
"Indonesias weather agency said cumulonimbus clouds rose to a height of 44,000 feet Sunday in the Java Sea, far higher than commercial airliners in the region fly. The plane was flying at 32,000 feet."
"investigators will ask why almost 10 other planes flew through the region unharmed at nearly the same time. Indonesias air traffic control operator said that of all the flights in the region Sunday morning, only the AirAsia flight requested a new flight path."
Such a good WSJ piece. I should post it perhaps.
They’ll find this one, soon enough.
ELT’s are made for land crashes, ULB’s for water crashes. ULB’s are less routine to find. Their beacons are good for 30 days, at least.
Once they define the search area and cover it thoroughly, they’ll find the crash site. The water in the search area is very shallow, with the “bottom of the sea” averaging 130 feet. This makes the search much easier, compared to AF447 (found after all the beacons were exhausted, with sidescan sonar, at 13,000 feet).
As for the conspiracy theories, I don’t subscribe to any of them (and there are many). I’m not saying you do or don’t, I’m just stating my view. Nor do I believe in “chemtrails”, another bogus conspiracy theory.
Victims found...presumably from QZ8501:

I stopped flying a long time ago. I do not fly for business, every time I get on an airplane I came away with a cold. Now that the muzzles have decided aircraft are a source of victims, I do not see the point.
