AirAsia Flight 8501 plane crash 'prophecy' video goes viral

The clip titled, 'AirAsia Plane Crash PROPHECY' was released by a Christian television channel called Emmanuel TV which has over 133,000 subscribers.

The 5 minute video shows Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua telling his church members to pray for the nation of Indonesia, describing "a situation which will cost a lot of lives, suddenly".

These were his words: "I have a message for the nation, Indonesia. This country, Indonesia - I don’t know what is happening. They should pray for Indonesia. That is, the nation Indonesia. When it comes to this disaster issue, I don’t want to mention it. It looks so nasty to me to mention - a situation where it will cost a lot of lives, suddenly. This is a crash. Why should this continue to happen there? I think there is a nature - a geographical atmosphere. There is something there that they should look into.”

Early in the morning on Sunday, December 28, 2014, an AirAsia passenger jet (Flight 8501) carrying 162 people lost contact with Indonesian air traffic control. A development on search operations happened on Tuesday as search officials said the debris found in the Java Sea off the Indonesian part of Borneo is from the missing plane. Indonesian Navy said that at least 40 bodies have been recovered from the sea.

Surprisingly, this is not the first major airline disaster the pastor has claimed to predict. The clip of his purported prediction of the Malaysian Airlines MH370 disaster also went viral, raking up over 1,000,000 views in a matter of weeks.

MANILA, Philippines - Another Air Asia plane was in trouble as the budget carrier AirAsia Zest with 159 people on board overshot the runway and got stuck in a muddy field at 5:43pm on Tuesday, December 30 at an international airport in Kalibo after landing from Manila in a bad weather.

Officials said that there's no report of injuries after the accident on domestic Flight Z2 272 as crew members launched emergency slides to help passengers disembark from the Airbus A320-200.

Rappler’s Jet Damazo-Santos has witnessed how the plane came down with “a hard, abrupt landing” followed by “a very abrupt stop.”


Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines spokesman Eric Apolonio said that three of the plane's tires got stuck in the mud.

Reports said that the flight to Kalibo was, like QZ8501, already delayed by two hours due to stormy weather.
Kalibo town, 350 kilometers (217 miles) south of Manila, is a busy gateway to the Boracay Island, a worldwide popular tourist destination.

The accident came after an AirAsia plane crashed into the Java Sea on Sunday during a flight from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 people on board. Search teams on Tuesday recovered at least 40 bodies from the sea near where the plane was lost.

Missing AirAsia Flight 8501 Update: 95% certain debris is from missing plane, says search official

Indonesian civil aviation chief on Tuesday believes that pieces of debris spotted in the water near where AirAsia Flight 8501 went missing is from the missing plane.

95% certain debris is from missing AirAsia plane


“We spotted about 10 big objects and many more small white-coloured objects which we could not photograph,” an Indonesian air force official, Air Vice-Marshall Agus Dwi Putranto, told in a press conference.


“The position is 10km from the location the plane was last captured by radar,” he told AFP.

The National Search and Rescue Agency confirmed the Navy found an object underwater that resembled a plane, while several commanders are confident an emergency exit door is among the debris, according to local media on Twitter. They said due to everything seen so far, the agency is 95% certain it is AirAsia Flight 8501.


Search officials are concerned that currents in the waters could cause the debris to spread before the teams arrive, reports CNN.

Channel News Asia also reported that search officials are bringing body bags to Pangkalan Bun in preparation for the worst.

The search and locate operations for the missing AirAsia plane continues on day 3, Tuesday (Dec 30). About 30 ships and 15 aircraft have been mobilised for a multi-national search.

AirAsia flight QZ8501 en route to Changi Airport in Singapore disappeared on Sunday morning over the Java Sea with 162 people on board.
