Topic: Airasia 8501

Suspicious stock transactions by AirAsia founder Tony Fernandes, who sold nearly a million shares in an insurance subsidiary days before the Flight 8501 crash, are highlighted. The hosts also criticize Indonesian authorities for blaming the crash on "weather" and mandating manual weather briefings for pilots, which they argue is standard practice already.

The disappearance of AirAsia Flight 8501 is analyzed, with a focus on the meteorological dangers of cumulonimbus clouds. One host, a pilot, explains that these clouds can drive an aircraft into the ground or shoot it into space, suggesting the pilot's decision to enter the storm was catastrophic. They also critique CNN's coverage and Richard Quest's reporting style during aviation disasters.
