Let It All Bleed Out
Indonesian official says missing AirAsia jet is
believed to be at the bottom of the sea

December 28 at 10:15 PM

As they resumed the search for the missing AirAsia plane Monday morning, Indonesian authorities said they believe the commercial jet with 162 people on board already lies at the bottom of the sea.

Indonesia’s National Search and Rescue Agency chief Bambang Soelistyo at a press conference called it a “preliminary suspicion” based on last coordinates and the estimated crash position.

Soelistyo said Indonesia lacks the equipment needed to find and retrieve a plane from such depths and has reached out to other countries. Among the countries who have offered help with the technology needed are the United States, the United Kingdom and France.

The plane, an Airbus A320-200, had encountered a string of intense thunderstorms and heavy clouds Sunday morning over the Java Sea. Hoping to avoid the worst of the weather, the pilot radioed in a request to climb from 32,000 feet to 38,000 feet, an Indonesian Transport Ministry official, Djoko Murjatmodjo, said at an earlier news conference.

Indonesian air-traffic controllers apparently denied the request for a higher altitude, just minutes before the plane disappeared from their screens Sunday without a distress call. Controllers at first gave the pilot the okay but then reversed themselves because of other air traffic in the vicinity, including a flight above his, Murjatmodjo told Kompas, a leading Indonesian newspaper.

The plane’s disappearance was the third air crisis this year for Southeast Asia — and an eerily familiar one, just nine months after a Malaysia Airlines jetliner disappeared over the Indian Ocean. That plane, with 239 people on board, is still lost. Another Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down over eastern Ukraine in July, killing all 298 people aboard.

Any one knows why the plane flew earlier at 5:20am instead of the scheduled 7:20am?
Usually flights get delayed instead of leaving 2 hours earlier.
