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.
