user: question: An airliner vanishes over the waters of a Southeast Asia ocean. There's no distress call, no wreckage, nothing but water and questions. So far, the story of AirAsia Flight QZ8501 sounds remarkably similar to that of Malaysia Airlines MH370, which remains missing nearly 10 months after it disappeared from radar screens on a flight between Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and Beijing. But it isn't, analysts say. Here are four ways the two incidents appear to differ:. 1. There's not anywhere near as much intrigue. When MH370 disappeared, the plane's identifying transponders appeared to be intentionally shut off, its pilots stopped making radio transmissions and the airliner made a mysterious turn before possibly traveling for hours until all traces vanished. Concerns over hijackings and terror permeated that case, but so far they haven't come up in the AirAsia case. "In this case you had normal communications with the pilot, a line of weather that appeared to be pretty difficult, severe, and he was asking to climb as high as he could to get out of it," said Peter Goelz, an aviation expert and former National Transportation Safety Board official. What role did weather play? 2. The water is much shallower and a commonly used shipping channel, making wreckage easier to find. The area where MH370 is believed to have gone down features extraordinarily deep water. It's also relatively mysterious -- the seabed had never been charted in some places, making getting a fix on the plane's pingers very difficult. In the AirAsia case, if the plane went down in the water, it likely rests in no more than a few hundred feet of heavily traveled ocean, making the task of locating and recovering it much simpler, analysts say. 3. Airlines and governments have learned a lot since MH370. In the hours after the Malaysia Airlines jetliner vanished in March, confusion reigned. When officials spoke at all, the information was often contradictory or confusing, and families of passengers and crew complained about how they were treated. In this case, both government and airline officials appear to be striking a more appropriate tone. Families of AirAsia flight passengers given support through the 'nightmare' AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandes tweeted that his "only thought" was the passengers and crew and pledged to do "whatever we can." Malaysian Defense Minister Hishammuddin Hussein also tweeted his support: "I will be there with you," he said. And the search appears to be getting off to a more efficient start. Indonesian officials quickly posted a search plan, indicating ships from its navy, as well as assets from Malaysia, Singapore and Australia, were being called to help. CNN's Will Ripley said the way Fernandes is handling the crisis is notable. "What he's doing is something that Malaysia Airlines did not do in the initial hours, the initial days and weeks, which is being very transparent, acknowledging this is a terrible situation," Ripley said. Goelz agreed. "In this case, it appears as though the airline and the authorities are in sync, and they really are putting the families first, which is the way to do it." 4. We almost certainly won't be searching for this plane in 10 months. With a more precise fix on where the plane was when it lost contact, a smaller search area and shallower seas, the airliner almost certainly will be much easier to find, said Steven Wallace, former director of the Federal Aviation Administration's Office of Accident Investigations. It's "very unlikely that we're going to see anything remotely close to what we saw with Malaysia 370," he said. "It will not surprise me if this airplane is found in the next 12 hours of daylight, because they know to a fairly high degree of certainty where it was, the water is 150 feet deep as opposed to 10- or 20,000 feet deep in the Indian Ocean."

answer: AirAsia investigation unlikely to be as frustrating as MH370 case, analysts say. For one, AirAsia disappeared over shallower, more heavily traveled waters. AirAsia disappearance is lacking many of the mysterious hallmarks of MH370 case. Experts expect plane will be found soon, maybe in next 12 hours of daylight.
