Missing malaysia plane

[Da Luv Doc]

I don't know a lot about electrics, but I would have thought it would be done. I know that there will be a live link so the live details of aircraft will be sent to a receiver.

Why aren't planes fitted with cameras ffs.

Woulda saved all this palaver.

 

The new A380 have them, sitting in first class you can view the camera at the tail when crusing.

Feel it for the passengers, must be terrified.

 

Pilots should have this still, they train for situations like these.

looks like your map when the Uber driver tries to pull a fast one

The amount of planes in the sky is actually crazy, even more impressive how coordinated the operation is to keep them out of each others way.

[Yoshie]

Mirror saying they landed safely.

Debris (plane door) and bodies found

I'll be flying Air Asia when I get to Thailand in a week and a bit. 

 

Not going to lie, I'm slightly shook.

Few body's been found at the crash-site.

Being shook is stupid. I had arguments with my then fiancé (now wife) about flying Malaysian Airlines for our honeymoon. We had already booked then the Ukraine thing happened. Rebooking would have cost me a grand more with finances already strained.

I made her see logic in the end. Shit happens it always does. The only fatality free airline is quantas now. I take a risk when I ride on bus and train. There is an inherent risk in everything.

7-8 more bodies spotted, 3 or 4 of them are holding hands

 

depressing stuff

[Fearless-Guy]

i dunno, 3 major passenger carrier fatalities all based from one country in a year has gotta be unprecedented

 

but yeah mad shit happens no need to be shook

[Heero Yuy]

Alot of aviation experts are saying the flight course plotted by either the Co-pilot or Pilot was the fatal error. Apparently the area is well known for it's thunderstorms and most fly around it.

 

Also the plane was already climbing to higher altitude before it was given permission. Maybe suggesting they tried to fly through, it got peak, tried to climb higher but it got to severe and lost control.
