Being shook is stupid. I had arguments with my then fiancé (now wife) about flying Malaysian Airlines for our honeymoon. We had already booked then the Ukraine thing happened. Rebooking would have cost me a grand more with finances already strained.
I made her see logic in the end. Shit happens it always does. The only fatality free airline is quantas now. I take a risk when I ride on bus and train. There is an inherent risk in everything.
Alot of aviation experts are saying the flight course plotted by either the Co-pilot or Pilot was the fatal error. Apparently the area is well known for it's thunderstorms and most fly around it.
Also the plane was already climbing to higher altitude before it was given permission. Maybe suggesting they tried to fly through, it got peak, tried to climb higher but it got to severe and lost control.

Feel it for the passengers, must be terrified.
Pilots should have this still, they train for situations like these.

The amount of planes in the sky is actually crazy, even more impressive how coordinated the operation is to keep them out of each others way.

I'll be flying Air Asia when I get to Thailand in a week and a bit.
Not going to lie, I'm slightly shook.
