Authorities finally located AirAsia Indonesia Flight QZ8501, missing since Saturday, after debris and bodies went afloat along the Karimata Strait between Java and Borneo. Bodies have been recovered and the retrieval operation is well underway. In the wake of the tragedy, the third of its kind this year, many have concluded that the flight industry really had it worst this year. Prior to the disappearance of the aircraft, Malaysia Airlines had the world in wonder and shock when two of its planes met an unfortunate fate. 

This has brought about a number of conspiracy theories. Many people believe that it is not nature that was at work, not when three aircrafts affiliated with Malaysia were at the center of it all. Mirror and Vocativ cited speculations in an effort to shed light to the tragedies. 

Some people think that the three occurrences are interconnected and that individuals or some kind of organization are helming the aircraft-related tragedies. The AirAsia plane, which had 162 people onboard, fell off radar after a request to change course due to bad weather, which could be a reason for the disaster. However, this has not stopped some from thinking that it is more than that. Rampant speculations indicate that the plane was remotely hijacked. The same theory is being applied on the MH370, which is yet to be found after nine months. 

After the news about the AirAsia Indonesia Flight QZ8501 broke out, a mysterious Chinese man, believed to be a Chinese Intelligence or a hacker, caused heads to turn and eyebrows to raise because of his so-called prediction concerning the mishap. Exactly thirteen days before the incident, the man seemed to have warned AirAsia about a group called "Black Hand," which the Tianya user blamed for the disappearance and the takedown of Boeing 777 aircrafts, Malaysia Airlines MH370 and MH17. He is said to have hinted the AirAsia disaster, although many think that the guy edited his posts after the plane went missing. 

In attempting to uncover his identity, many have guessed that it may be the same guy that threatened to blast an AirAsia plane, the one involved in the story that made rounds online. Speculations revealed that the man who started a racket inside an AirAsia flight and whose girlfriend tossed hot noodles at one of the stewardesses, was merely trying to save the plane and all the people onboard from an impending disaster. If this was what he was doing, he was successful as the pilot veered back to Bangkok and did not push through with the trip. 

Many also easily leave the tragedy as human error. However, it is still hard to think about that this crash could happen with an experienced pilot at the helm. The pilot in charge of getting his passengers to Singapore from Surabaya has acquired more than 20,000 flight hours. The short flight is something he's done many times. Pilots also have means to check weather formations, like heavy thunderstorms, from 100 miles away. 

Whatever it is that brought AirAsia Indonesia Flight QZ8501 to where it is today is still shrouded in mystery. However, with wreckage from the plane found and bodies emerging in the waters where it was last seen on radar, the events that led to it may soon be discovered.
