Got to be kidding me... This is the worst year for civil flights, how many decades do we need to go back until there's a year that took as many casulties?
And unrelated but an awful coincidence on the same day, there's a ship in fire between Greece and Italy

Quote:AirAsia Indonesia flight QZ8501 to Singapore missing
An AirAsia Indonesia airliner flying from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on board has gone missing.
Flight QZ8501 lost contact with air traffic control at 06:24 local time (23:24 GMT Saturday) over the Java Sea.
The plane, an Airbus A320-200, disappeared midway into the flight of more than two hours from the city of Surabaya. No distress call was made.
Bad weather was reported in the area, and an air search operation has now been suspended for the night.
Planes from Indonesia and Singapore had been scouring an area of sea between Kalimantan (Borneo) and Java. Some boats were reported to be continuing to search as night fell.
No wreckage has been found, an Indonesian official told the BBC.
