Agreed completely. I was just playing devils advocate, and explaining how it could potentially happen, no matter how unlikely.

Its just your paranoia. There was one failure, provoked by the pilote, and it was on a A300. Most if not all of them have been retired except in the cargo configuration.Quote:

I think the Malaysian air first flight was deliberate by the suicidal / jihadist pilots, the second Malaysian flight was a deliberate idiocy by Russians, so if this air Asia flight is an accident, it's still the first in awhile.
The weather in the area was apparently murderous. Considering how high those tropical thunderstorms go, I don't know how easy it is to out-climb them as a deviation option. There are so many things that could have caused the aircraft to crash, and crash it sure did, that speculating on the numerous potential causes is kind of pointless.
However, I like to dabble in speculation a bit, and I reckon the poor bastards put the thing through a red or magenta patch on their weather radar and never made it out the other side.
Just a sad situation in general, planes freak me out lol
What a bad PR for Malaysian Airline companies.
They found some wreckage and bodies, and have a location of the wreck. Should have more answers in a few weeks.
Yeah saw this on the news this morning. :(Quote:
