There were heavy thunderstorms in the area.

With the bright red colors of the jet, hopefully they can spot it real soon. Even if it went down, spare the families the extra grief.

3 Malaysian based airlines went missing/crashed in the last year. (MH370, MH17 and now Air Asia)

Just to note, I don't think he's saying that the accident can be blamed on the local culture, (i.e. MH17 wasn't shot down, because they were Malaysian). The observation is more relevant as to how the crew reacts once the emergency situation has occurred.

Sounds Jewish. What's his nationality?

Exactly. His book provides much detail on this.

Still nothing. Aircraft have called off the search for the night.

Here's a weather map of the time of the disappearance. Looks like they were headed straight into a thunderstorm...

TimT · « **Reply #32 on:** December 28, 2014, 09:35:26 AM »

Was permission given to change route ? Nobody's mentioning that

Chapshnell · « **Reply #33 on:** December 28, 2014, 12:39:20 PM »

No because there was a plane 5,000 feet above the missing one

edjack · « **Reply #34 on:** December 28, 2014, 01:11:53 PM »

Did they give a reason for requesting a strange route?

Nothing strange, they just wanted to go a little higher to get above the clouds.
