Fair to say there is a lot of misinformation being circulated. Making things even worse - if that's possible - for people who have lost family & friends.

Everything's a conspiracy. The fact that large groups of people see conspiratorial underpinnings in every world event is the One True Conspiracy, or, a conspiraception.

Yeah, was pretty much what I was getting at. People are instantly assuming terrorism. That the tickets were bought together is interesting but that's about it, so far.

Loving all the commentary on FB from people impatient to move onto the next thing to be upset about.

"How do you totally lose such a huge jet?!!"

Huge is a relative term. It's a 100' long jet which has (probably) broken up into many smaller pieces and been dispersed over an area encompassing a few hundred square kilometres. It's in a fairly busy part of the world with 50+ boats out there + aircraft looking for it and they still haven't seen it yet people are acting like they're not trying hard enough. Christ people, you go out with a canoe and ****ing find it.

Asked to clarify the appearance of passengers on stolen passports, Rahman bizarrely suggested they looked like the black Italian footballer Mario Balotelli.

To add to this, worth remembering that Silkair suicide flight from the mid-90's which crashed in a similar part of the world, the Musi River in Sumatra. People saw exactly where it crashed and it basically nose-dived so you'd expect the debris field to be roughly the size of the aircraft and dug into the shallow riverbed yet a reasonable amount of the plane still had time to be washed into the Java Sea along with the vast majority of the passengers, never to be sighted again.

Doesn't bode well for this finding this plane if it's crashed in the open sea. Tough job, glad I'm not doing it.

Top Cat shocked that his FB friends don't read his aviation thread on CW.
