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.

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. 

[Hum]

^ I just hope they find the jet -- and not leave families hanging.

Seems common these days.

[DocM]

CNN reports they did a weather deviation.

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.

I hope they find this one. The search area looks far more contained than the Malaysian one off the west coast of Australia.

there probably less mystery than MH370, there already report about possible plane wreckage sighted in Belitung Island area.

I wouldn't go by misc reports... Remember how many reports there were for the MH370.

but as mentioned before, the search area for QZ8501 are far smaller than MH370.

 Dude the the report you listed above in the previous posthas already been debunked.  I think your right about that they will eventually find the plane. But your speculating too much.

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. 

[Melfster]

It's really not hard to believe trying find even something as big as jet airplane in ocean even though where it went down is difficult.

We all have mobiles with gps yet it's still easy to loose signal, even if your just walking in built up areas of the its.

There are no barriers in the middle of the sea...

[Torolol]

as speculating goes, I would suspect the airplane's devices might be malfunctions due to thunderstorm weather during its flight path.

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.

They don't they think the plane is surely broadcasting its location over its own GPS at least until the power goes out

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...
