The search for the Airbus A320 Air Asia aircraft missing on December 28 continues, and the situation itself is overgrown with more and more assumptions. Earlier it was reported that some passengers could not register for the ill-fated flight - there were 23 of them - and ten more did not have time to take off the liner. Perhaps these situations saved them from death.
However, today the foreign media published the story of one of the acquaintances of a man who went to Singapore on this Airbus A320. A friend of the missing person said that before the flight he jokingly "said goodbye forever."
“One of them (passengers) called me. He jokingly said: "See you in the new year and goodbye forever", and then there was bad news, "- said the man's acquaintance on the air of Indonesian television.
The missing Airbus A320-200 flew on December 28 from Surabaya, Indonesia to Singapore at 05.36 Western Indonesia time (01.36 Moscow time), and at 06.16 the pilot requested permission to change the course and altitude due to weather conditions. At 06.18 West Indonesia time (arrival airport time - one hour ahead), the airliner disappeared from the radar screens without first giving distress signals.
Five countries joined Air Asia's search for the Airbus A320, including Indonesia, Italy, Australia, Malaysia and Singapore. However, despite the help they provide, the politician of one of them believes that this situation is a typical incident that happened to the plane.
“This is an airplane flying a regular route on a regular schedule, it accidentally got into bad weather conditions, it crashed. But this is not a mystery, like the disappearance of MH370, and not a monstrous crime, like the downed (in eastern Ukraine Boeing) MH17,”said Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, known for his radical statements.
The accident may not be as common as the Australian politician thinks. Today the media reported that the Indonesian rescue services recorded a suspicious object in the search area of the Airbus A320, which is now being investigated by rescuers. Perhaps outsiders again had a hand in the QZ8501 crash?
It turned out that the disappeared Air Asia liner was insured by the same company as the previously missing Boeings, one of which, as it became known not so long ago, was shot down by a Ukrainian pilot.

“We confirm that Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty UK (AGCS) is the main reinsurer of Air Asia - aircraft and liability insurance,” the company said.
Russian rescuers may also join the search operation in the Java Sea zone.
“Having learned about the crash of flight QZ8501 over the waters of the Java Sea, I want to assure you that the Russian Emergencies Ministry is ready to immediately provide the Indonesian side with assistance and assistance in finding the missing Airbus A320 of Air Asia,” the head of the Russian Emergencies Ministry writes in a telegram to the head of the Indonesian search and rescue agency Vladimir Puchkov, quoted by RIA Novosti.
Russia is ready to provide for the search operation "the most modern aviation rescue technologies, including the Be-200 amphibious aircraft, equipped with modern search equipment, thermal imagers, and location equipment."
Let us remind that the pilots report that the plane of flight QZ8501 "could have been torn apart by a thunderstorm if it jumped into it and the death of the passengers of the Airbus A320 of Air Asia was either terrible or very quick and painless."
Then, according to them, “the plane takes off like a feather for kilometers in seconds and then falls for kilometers in another stream. Not the fuselage, nor the planes (wings), nor the person are designed for this - the overloads in this case are prohibitive."
