They're saying it was due to weather. My question is this - what could the weather do to a jet that would down it? Lightening strike? Insane turbulence? I'm just trying to wrap my head around this.
 
Turbulence wouldn't bring down a plane.

I don't think weather itself can bring down planes either.

Somehow Apple iPhones can be searched via GPS, North Korea's Internet can be hacked and shut down but unfortunately we are unable to track missing planes. Makes no sense to me.

What happened to radar?

Radar only extends so far. Most of us landlubbers understand that air traffic controllers typically use radar to monitor a flight's progress. That's all very well over land. But radar also has a limited range, and you can't put a radar station in the middle of the ocean. So pilots often have to stay in contact through other means, such as periodic radio check-ins. In between check-ins, the controller has only a general idea of where a plane is and where it's headed.

Okay, so what about passengers' cellphones? Could they be tracked?

The reason you can be tracked on land is because your phone is constantly talking to the cell towers that provide you service. No service? No location. While you're in the air, there's not much of an opportunity to use your cellular network — although that's changing in Europe and may soon begin to change in the United States, too. Technology now enables the use of cellular networks if a plane carries a special base station that sends communications to a commercial satellite, which then relays it to the ground. But adoption will be voluntary among airlines.

Phones often carry GPS chips.

Good thought. Yes, many cellphones do have GPS. But it's not the kind you'd find in a car. Cellphones typically rely on a kind of "assisted" GPS — one that requires a constant data connection. Without WiFi or a cell tower, you're not able to connect with the satellite.

It's horrible weather + shoddy airplane.

Turbulence can unscrew some bolts and **** leading to things falling off the plane in the air leading to all types of system failure.
 
Sometimes things just happen around the same time for things like this... Laws of averages always catch up sooner or later...

And isn't this really only 2 planes not 3 now... Getting shot down by a missle is an anomaly and not the fault of the air liners...

This is true about alot of stuff. People try to find patterns and crazy reason for why stuff happens, but sometimes **** happens.

You're correct, turbulence doesn't bring down planes.

It blows my mind how this happens, but prayers out to those who perished

I doubt planes would be allowed to fly in that kind of condition.
