Search-and-rescue operation underway after AirAsia plane vanishes with 162 on board Gutless Flip-flopper 12/28/14 (Sun) 12:04:33 No.103

Indonesia and Singapore have launched a search-and-rescue operation after an AirAsia flight disappeared over the Java Sea with 162 people on board early Sunday.

Flight 8501 was scheduled to make a relatively short early-morning flight from Surabaya, Indonesia to Singapore but lost contact with Jakarta air traffic control at 6:24 a.m. local time (6:24 p.m. Eastern Time Saturday), approximately an hour before it was due to land.

Eleven minutes earlier, according to Djoko Murjatmodjo, Indonesia's acting director general of transportation, the pilot had "asked to hinder cloud by turning left and go higher to 34,000 feet." Murjatmodjo said that there was no distress signal from the plane. AirAsia Indonesia had earlier confirmed that the pilot had asked to change course due to bad weather in the area.

Why is it that all these missing flights have some connection with that part of the world in the past year or so?
What the fuck is going on over there. Makes me wonder

This is just my best guess but think this is mostly bad mechanical upkeep. Asia, India, africa have notoriously bad standards and in the past have had objects falling off of their aircraft. Although its out of the norm seems about right to me that if your flying around in an aircraft that dosent meet the civilized world standard of safty you might have a few missing airplanes here and there.

Basically this. In those parts there are lots of near lives lost accidents that don't get reported. The discipline required to maintain these complicated pieces of technology isn't there

Apparently in India transportation is so bad that they often use really ancient vehicles too. It's so bad they literally put blessings on semi trucks sometimes so they'll make it safely.

I've heard this too. People apparently don't obey any traffic rules and pedestrians and sometimes cattle are seen crossing busy motorway. I've heard the stories of some people finding it a nightmare, the roads.

At least this time they have been able to locate the debris more quickly and are retrieving some bodies

The Bermuda Triangle got upset that everyone knew where it lived, so it moved
