Find the missing jet first
WILL CONSPIRACY THEORIES ARISE FOLLOWING the disappearance of AirAsia Flight QZ8501 on Sunday over the Java Sea? The answer will be in the affirmative unless evidence is found to confirm where and how it landed or crashed.
The plane with 162 passengers and crew on board was flying from Indonesia's second-largest city Surabaya to Singapore when contact with it was lost about half way to its destination. Asking to avoid clouds by turning left and going higher to 38,000 feet (11,582 meters) is the only information the pilot gave air traffic control about the situation.
No one can tell what has happened to the flight. Whether it crashed because of the bad weather or the pilot's response to the extreme weather conditions will remain a mystery unless the plane, or presumably its wreckage, is found and the black box and voice recorder recovered.
