jasondefaoite Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30614627 An official with the transport ministry, Hadi Mustofa, told local media the plane lost contact over the Java Sea, which lies between Surabaya and Singapore. He said the plane had asked for an unusual route before it lost contact. Might be MH370 all over again. Jose_49 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Maybe they found the same black hole that MH370 did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLien_0 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Maybe they found the same black hole that MH370 did. Its like there is a second Bermuda Triangle over there. All jokes aside, hope this lost flight turns up and everyone is safe. Jose_49 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melfster Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I think it would be more interesting if they didn't find the plane, Although I suspect they should find the plane given the range. If it did crash that seems like most probable scenario, Hopefully there are survivors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trek Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I hope they find this one. The search area looks far more contained than the Malaysian one off the west coast of Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think your right about that they will eventually find the plane. But your speculating too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim K Global Moderator Posted December 28, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted December 28, 2014 Mindboggling that they do not know where this plane is. Same thing with MH370. These planes should have their location known from takeoff to landing (or impact). ADS-B (or better yet ALAS) devices need to put on the fast track and implemented into these aircraft.

Thats one of the bigger questions. In this era planes I thought have quite a few gps units and transponders. Hard to believe that they can loose signal that easily.

Torolol Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 as speculating goes, I would suspect the airplane's devices might be malfunctions due to thunderstorm weather during its flight path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richteralan Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 There are also no cell towers in the middle of see For GPS to work, no cell towers needed. Just satellite.Can't believe we are going over these elementary GPS/A-GPS tech all over again. I thought everyone got it with our last MH370 thread.

How are these people suppose to call when then they use gps only have gps signal. I can't believe people think GPS on a phone will find the plane.

I can't believe people think GPS on a phone will find the plane. They don't they think the plane is surely broadcasting its location over its own GPS at least until the power goes out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Evil Overlord Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I honestly thought at the very least, pilots would get themselves that Breitling Emergency watch In this day and age, as commercial jetliners are going missing, pull the pin, it's not misuse, and it gives armed forces a bearing at the very least to go and take a look at...
