  • AirAsia flight missing

    The crashed airplane's two black boxes have been retrieved from the crash site and transferred to Jakarta where experts can conduct a lengthy analysis, said search chief Bambang Soelistyo. Meanwhile, the search for the remaining victims on board the plane continues.

    Indonesia’s top rescue official says authorities believe missing AirAsia Flight QZ8501 is likely at the bottom of the sea.


    Praying for the best outcome

              Is "loss of control" already known?

                well the final report has not been published yet, but I doubt the pilots had full control until impact with the sea

                    That originated from the "Epoch Times" which is not the most reliable news source. Also, the Strait Times had a lot of false reports on MH370.

                    They could be right, but I'd just be wary.

                          How strange the company is Malaysian again, even though a subsidiary, BTW this very comment got deleted at a conspiracy theory site forum for hinting that its suspicious, like people are not already imagining all kinds of theories beyond the obvious.

                          Hope it was just a Hudson type ditch and all is well.

                              Well - it hasn't happened to Malaysia. It was an Indonesia Air Asia flight from Surabaya, Indonesia, to Singapore. Saying it happened to Malaysia is like saying it happened to Germany if a Brussels Airlines flight between Belgium and Africa is involved in an incident.
