Did This Fox News Host Seriously Suggest The AsiaAir Flight Went Missing Because Of The Metric System?

An AsiaAir Flight out of Indonesia carrying 162 passengers disappeared from radar early Sunday morning over the Java Sea. No one knows exactly what happened but severe weather may have been a factor.

FOX news host Anna Koiman offered up her own alternate theory during an interview with FAA spokesperson Scott Brenner.

“Even when we think about temperature, it’s Fahrenheit or Celsius, it’s kilometers or miles. You know, everything about their training could be similar, but different.”

I’m not an aviation expert, I’m not a pilot, and I did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. That being said, I’m quite certain the metric system is not responsible for the AsiaAir disappearance. Let’s hit this thing from another angle, Anna.
