AirAsia Flight Goes Missing Between Indonesia and Singapore

iONiUM (530420) writes As reported by many news sources, yet another plane has lost contact during a trip. This comes on the heels of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 which is still missing, and Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, which was shot down. From ABC's coverage: Sixteen children and one infant were among the passengers. At a press conference this morning, Indonesian officials said the plane was several hours past the time when its fuel would have been exhausted. The six-year-old aircraft was on the submitted flight plan but requested a deviation because of enroute weather before communication with the aircraft was lost. The plane was under the control of the Indonesian Air Traffic Control and had been in the air for about 42 minutes when contact was lost, AirAsia said.

I make a point of having several abortions a year after having sex with my gay lover, just because of morons like you.

Right. Since it's a well-known fact that children of most travelling parents are transported via shipping container to join Mom and Dad at their destination.

It has everything to do with the race of the pilot: the pilot didn't race away from the missile quickly enough!

What's the value of an asshole that spends his evening judging the value of others he has never met?

You mean, like you're doing right now? Good question.

Just a question, if there was a black hole in the air at 25000 feet, that just materialised there, would the gravity of the Earth cause it to fall to the ground and into the planets core? Say if it was the size of a marble? Just a hypothetical.

No, why would it?
I mean think about it: what if a stone materializes 'just like that' at 25000 feet? It certainly would not fall down to earth by gravity. After all the earth does not know the stone is there and the stone likely just vanishes milli second later in a flash. I guess a hypothetical black hole would simply vanish in a bigger flash ... but obviously darker.
