i believe the aircraft was cruising at its initial level of 32 320 a course of 32,000 feet, tend oindicate at early stages that it probably was due to weather or perhaps turbulence on route. and that they had had no communication since that last transmission is of obviously very serious concerns to all. >> locating the aircraft now what kind of information, what data will they be looking at? >> well, obviously the last reported transmissions, there may be more information that they provided to the air traffic controls, bear in mind that the aircraft had departed from the northeast of the island of java, so it was in indonesian flight information region so air traffic controllers were speaking. they were obviously speaking locallylocal language, so those communications were critical. if the pilot would indicate the reason or the request for a diversion of course and that could obviously give the initial indication as to what the likely cause or contributed to the missing aircraft. >> i know that airasia is known in the asia pacific region where you are it has had a good record so far. what
