On December 28th 2014, flight crew of the Airbus A320 plane requested a deviation to their flight path citing weather conditions as their reason. The crew were reportedly denied their change of flight path over the Java Sea and remained on course for what appears to be a final flight into treacherous weather.

But in hindsight, the ever present questions begin to arise; one of them asking ‘is there such thing as a coincidence?’ [1]

There are several coincidences. The downing of the other flights in 2014, MH370 in March and Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over the Ukraine: all have questions above their titles. But it isn’t this coincidence alone, the obvious one; that tempts the mind to draw theories of foul play. There are more questionable actions arising from the latest aviation disaster which has left the world speechless, short of “not another one down.”

Tony Fernandes, CEO of AirAsia, who introduced the low budget airline with the “Now everyone can fly” tagline, is under scrutiny for his massive dump of AirAsia shares a week before the disaster. As the search continues for missing flight QZ8501, it has been noted that Fernandes sold 850000 shares on December 22nd and a further 94800 on the 23rd. Following the ‘crash’ shares slumped (expectantly) a large 7 percent in value. The subsidiary airline that is 49 percent owned by AirAsia Malaysia marks the first aviation disaster for the airlines, but how far can a coincidence stretch?

At the time of this writing, 30 bodies have said to be recovered; found floating in the Java Sea, but none direct from the aircraft they are yet to locate. Tony Fernandes, an avid tweeter is said to be playing an active role in the investigations, stating that this is his worst nightmare come true. Earlier this year, AirAsia also claimed in their in-flight magazine that their well-trained pilots will never lose a plane. Since the downing of flight QZ8501 the magazine has been reportedly withdrawn. With a hypothesis that the aircraft is now at the bottom of the ocean, only time will tell what coincidences can be accounted for.
