Good show. There is a program discussing aviation saftey and this crash on Aljazera now, an interview with a John Walton from Wellington, and some German "expert"Oops it just finished. isc Interesting to set the host pushing his line, but much better than most of the stuff out there. John at Runway Girl Network (he also writes for Australian Aviation). RGN analysis: QZ8501 weather not as ‘unusual’ as reportedFox News has made some clangers in their coverage , but this segment has good guests (one of them is Rob Marks from the Airplane Geeks podcast) and well researched questions (the host throws in 'Aviate, Navigate, Communicate'). |

Another intelligent news announcer................ "they are sending 2 Cessna jets".....what??? And....."all the viewers watching would have flown through a thunderstorm"........and... "could a thunderstorm break up an aeroplane, really?". Makes you wonder.

Spoke to a colleague who was in the area at the time, he described the weather as horrendous and was about 80 miles south of his filed route avoiding the cells that this Air Asia aircraft was navigating.
On a personal note, I am constantly amazed when I see big red radar returns on the WX radar, which appear to be ignored by other aircraft.

On a personal note, I am constantly amazed when I see big red radar returns on the WX radar, which appear to be ignored by other aircraft. I bet. Really scary. Should not be happening. Imagine huh, 2014 and a modern airliner equipped with everything it needs gets flown into something like that causing a crash. Aren't we to learn from prior accidents of this type? |

Flight AF447 (Air France A330 mid Atlantic crash) - official BEA animation

Note, if you see reports from Reuters (based on leaks) that the captain left his seat to pull breakers, this has now been denied by the investigators, and Reuters have withdrawn the report.
