Alas, 'tis sad but Oh so true.
Alas, ‘tis true. Like all of the great air disasters, it will wind up the subject of some highly dramatized, advert ridden, repetitive sales platform for ‘entertainment’ purposes only. Once every few years it will surface as does the Erebus accident and the other ‘famous’ crashes. The difference being that in many of the ‘famous’ accidents there are facts for the docomentaly challenged to work with and nearly always a properly executed investigation. Not so with the MH 370 event
From soup to nuts, there has been a feeling of ‘wrongness’ (for wont of better) about the whole thing. You know the feeling, plodding along in cruise, all is well but there’s something just not right. Of course once AMSA were stood aside and Beaker stuck his oar in, it was game over for me; interest switch –identified – Off. But I have watched with some interest the efforts made by the honest folk to undo the Gordian knot and those who have dedicated time, effort, good will and brain power to the cause, most admirable. I have also learned to avoid the ravings of fools and halfwits who can’t resist pounding everyone to tears with half baked, uneducated personal views and then attack anyone who dares challenge the lunacy. Then we have those who cynically, for their own benefit provide ‘plausible’ analysis, get it wrong, then have the Gaul to come back with an equally preposterous ‘alternative’.
But what of those still waiting for news? It must have been a roller coaster ride to Hell, hope alongside uncertainty. The frustration levels must be sky high and these are not ‘silly’ folk, they may not know too much about aircraft or deep sea search; but they know when they are being fed a line of the purest pony-pooh or sold a rotten fish.
No, the whole thing has been either brilliantly handled or grossly mismanaged; depending on your point of view. But time passes and as the money runs out and the press have hurried off in pursuit of the next story and the politicians become busy with serious matters; this story will fade away, the insurers will sort out the pittances to paid and the world will go on it’s merry way, as it always has.
For my two bob; this was a criminal act. Find out who and why and the airframe will be found; anything else is window dressing.
Toot toot.
