» Missing AirAsia plane ‘likely at the bottom of
the sea’ as experts say it was flying too slow


After calling off the search and rescue last night,
due to bad weather conditions, it’s been
revealed that ,missing AirAsia flight QZ8501 was
flying ‘about 160 km/h too slow’ when it
encountered bad weather conditions.It is also
said to be likely at the bottom of the ocean.
The Airbus A320, went missing at 6.17am local
time on Sunday morning while travelling from
Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on
board
Today, the head of Indonesia’s National Search
and Rescue Agency, Henry Bambang Sulistyo,
said that the plane is most likely ‘at the bottom
of the sea’.
‘Based on the coordinates given to us and
evaluation that the estimated crash position is
in the sea, the hypothesis is the plane is at the
bottom of the sea,That’s the preliminary
suspicion and it can develop based on the
evaluation of the result of our search.’
Aviation expert Geoffrey Thomas spoke to
several check captains and believes the pilot of
the QZ8501 encountered difficult weather
conditions but flew too slow in his efforts to
avoid it.
‘The QZ8501 was flying too slow, about 100
knots which is about 160 km/h too slow. At that
altitude that’s exceedingly dangerous,’ ‘Pilots
believe that the crew, in trying to avoid the
thunderstorm by climbing, somehow have
found themselves flying too slow and thus
induced an aerodynamic stall similar to the
circumstances of the loss of Air France AF447 to
crash in 2009,’ Mr Thomas told AAP.
The Air France AF447 crashed into the Atlantic
Ocean in 2009 while en route from Rio De
Janeiro to Paris.
