When I saw the head line and read the first article I thought it was going to be another weird missing plane story with no answers and lots of outlandish theories, but now the media is suggesting it just ran into some bad weather and crashed. Not sure that you can fully trust anything you read but it does sound like a reasonable explanation.

An increase from zero to two is not sound statistics... I hope the plane can be found, but even with that, wild theories will appear.

It's always in the last place you look.

  Are you trying to suggest the missing plane is in my garage?

The U.S. government has a habit of shooting down planes and playing dumb. It wouldn't surprise me if someone on board was deemed a "threat to national security."

thefidu881:

I don't think Obumer has gone that crazy to shoot a passenger plane just because of one ahole on board...and that plane too wasn't heading towards the US...you must know mighty Hulk...tell us the fate of the passengers... my colleague almost laughed and said, "There wasn't any Chinese on board".

No, that's the Russians.

 

I have empirical evidence to support my claim.

I think Obummer IS that crazy: look at all the sexual assault/torture/assassination programs that he heads. Snowden leaks, folks.

Chupakabra or drunk aliens? Mexico barley field boasts new mysterious crop patterns (VIDEO)

 

I couldn't resist on this possibility. However, I didn't know, one can get drunk just landing into the barley field. I always thought brewery is necessary, but aliens probably have advanced tech on 'barley to booze'.

My guess is that it is the result of the pilots trying to gain altitude too abruptly and consequently stalling the plane.

 

Mid-air flights are very rare.

 

It is telling that they asked to get permission to ascend to 11,000 feet. On a short flight, there is little need to climb so high, but in the tropics where the weather is weird... Well...

 

Maybe all flights in tropical zones ought to have a minimal altitude cap?

 

When I fly back to NZ, the plane stays at a high level of altitude, so I'm not scared of flying back there.

nzteacher80:

Don't fly back with China Eastern. They are terrible.

Thanks for the tip. I will avoid them.

 

I'm not going to try to save money on flights when my own life is potentially at stake.

 

Air travel never used to scare me, now it gives me the shits.

DrMonkey:

This kind of mistakes are beginner's mistakes ?! I got a sailplane license... It's one of the first thing I was taught *NOT* to do. We were told why you should not do this (you end-up falling like a stone, or worse if you were doing a turn). Then during instruction, after a few hours getting familiar with the controls, the instructor would stale the plane on purpose, to teach you

* how a plane about to stale feels like (it's trembles more or less gently, then dive, while non of the controls have any effect, rather stressful)

* how to control the plane again (let it fall a bit to build-up speed, then gently restore attitude with slow gestures, not brutal overcompensation)

And you don't get your license until you can put yourself out of trouble after a stalling, it's a mandatory part of the examination.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
