Either a Muslim hijacker(s) or a huge conspiracy that follows up with the other missing planes earlier this year. Wouldn't have there been evidence if people on the plane were able to make phone calls before possible crash?

Moral of the story: stay away from Malaysian owned airlines.

I've used Air Asia a few times as well as some of the other no-frills airlines in SE Asia. Never had a problem. Most of their fleets are relatively new and well maintained. Service is way better than mainstream "farang" owned airlines too.

BTW:
American Airlines has the dubious honour of being in two of the worst 10 and three of the worst 20 air crashes of all time — although that does include September 11 as well as the Queens crash and a 1979 disaster that saw 273 die in Chicago.

My question (somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but only somewhat): Who is collecting Asian airliners and for what purpose?

Two of them disappear and one is shot down by the Russians within the same year. If you want to go by recent track records, Malaysian isn't doing so hot.

That said, I would still hop a flight of theirs if their fares were decent. I'm not entirely serious, gents. ;)

Never mind ...

At least 40 bodies, debris found in search for missing AirAsia plane

The bodies were found in the Java Sea about six miles from the plane’s last known point of contact. The plane disappeared Sunday with 162 people on board traveling from Surbaya, Indonesia to Singapore.

The time for joking or speculating is over. May these souls rest in peace.
