The willing accomplice.
Bugsy, having tuppence has always been better than a hole in your pocket. Without tuppence, you’re beggared; which, IMO, is exactly where the families and the aviation industry are. There are many reasons why this aircraft needs to be found but there are even more reasons again to discover who, why and how.
A honest government would want to know the root cause of an incident which has almost bankrupted a national flag carrier. Malaysia has a significant investment in the carrier, both financial and in national pride, not to mention the effect on their economy. The question which must be considered is why the Malaysian government has not moved heaven and earth and been seen to do that, in order to locate the aircraft. Looking at the whole picture from a long way back, it is clear that only a minimum of effort has been expended. Only enough to give the appearance of an effort, a showcase, a magicians smoke and mirrors show.
I don’t believe it would cost a great deal to arrange a ‘conference’ of qualified, independent experts, ‘workshop’ if you like. Swear them all to secrecy if you must then give them unfettered, unlimited access to all, and do mean all, the available data and investigation results. If you included a crack criminal investigative team from say the USA and UK alongside a team of those from the more clandestine agencies and turned them loose, I believe there would answers to unasked questions in double quick time. Then you may deploy your search and recovery experts. Had the ‘conference’ been oversighted by say the UN or ICAO then the percentage chances of finding the wreckage would, exponentially increase.
As thing stand when the pantomime is the SIO is over the whole episode will be covered with a filthy blanket and buried in an unmarked paupers grave. A victim of incompetence or casualty of an uncaring, cynical government is a question which will fade from public consideration and interest as time passes by.
At the risk of repeating myself – I’ll say it again; someone, somewhere knows what really happened and why. Should a government, any government, be privy to that information then by association and through silence, they must be considered complicit in the crime.
It’s a terrible thing to loose lives in an aircraft accident; but it’s a tragedy when those waiting for news must give up all hope of discovering why their loved ones are never coming home. Where’s our aircraft? - Don’t know, it just disappeared. Is that really a good enough answer; I don’t believe it is.
Selah.
