AirAsia plane with 162 aboard missing after takeoff from Indonesia
 
Quote:
AKARTA, Indonesia – An AirAsia plane with 162 people aboard lost contact with ground control on Sunday after takeoff from Indonesia on the way to Singapore, and search and rescue operations were underway.


The plane lost communication with Jakarta’s air traffic control at 7:24 a.m., about an hour before it was scheduled to land in Singapore, the Singapore Civil Aviation Authority said in a statement. The contact was lost about 42 minutes after takeoff from Indonesia’s Surabaya airport, Hadi Mustofa, an official of the transportation ministry told Indonesia’s MetroTV.

AirAsia said in a statement that the plane was an Airbus A320-200 and that search and rescue operations were in progress.

Mustofa said the plane had seven crew and 155 passengers, and lost contact when it was believed to be over the Java Sea between Kalimantan and Java islands.

The Singapore aviation authority said it was informed about the missing plane by Jakarta ground control about half an hour after the contact was lost.

“Search and rescue operations have been activated by the Indonesian authorities,” it said, adding that the Singapore air force and the navy also were activated with two C-130 planes.

i hope 2014 was just an anomaly for aviation incidents and will not be the norm going forward.
i wonder if we'll ever find out what really happened to MH370

I still don't understand the movie, I thought matthew mcconaughey lives in the end?

Spoiler!

Yes because a science fiction movie about travel between timespace is relatable to an actual airplane going missing, for the xth time time this year...

Fail removed since you said you didn't mean disrespect, but it was still in pretty poor taste imo

Same airline that has that cheap unlimited South Asia travel pass. :woot2:

yeah it was reported that there was bad weather so the pilot requested a route to go around that weather

closure? :suspicious:

Just walked by an AirAsia crew in my layover hotel. Not looking happy would be an understatement. I've been in their situation and it's a pretty sick feeling. Wishing for the best, also wish I had spoken up and given them a few wishful words.
