Shit, here we go again. Although there are reports the weather was horrible so most likely it has gone down (Hopefully not but who knows)

Way ahead of ya :p

Hopefully it just got diverted to another airport and everyone is safe. Not likely at this stage but that would certainly be the best outcome.

What the actual f…..

Last time I came to Japan my first flight was delayed, missed the second so got put on a plane to Nagoya instead of Sapporo.  While waiting at Nagoya for the flight to Sapporo I learned that MH370 went missing while we had been in the air.  I was with a girlfriend who is a ‘touch’ neurotic - she was already flying on Valium….I kept that news to myself until we landed!!!

When the Malaysian flight was shot down over Ukraine my youngest son was aboard the Singapore Airlines flight that was in Ukrainian airspace after having left Moscow.  Not only were collecting parents at the airport relieved their own kids arrive home safely but most of them knew someone who was on the other plane.

Now this one…. Not quite as close.  I flew yesterday, but WOW….this is quite scary!

I know the feeling, I flew to Malaysia two weeks after the Malaysia airlines flight went missing, flew to nz two days after the Malaysia airlines got shot down and am currently in Europe with another 4 flights scheduled in the next month. I already hate flying and coincidentally every time I have gone to fly somewhere this year a plane has crashed!!

Hopefully they’ll be able to get closure though, as they have found confirmed debris and a body. They have also found a silhouette on the sea bed, they may be the fuselage.
Unlike MH370, where still no trace has been found.
