Indeed, very bad, although expected news.
But I am really flabbergasted that Malaysian Airlines chose to tell the relatives by text message. I mean seriously, what were they thinking? I've heard of people dumping their boyfriend or girlfriend by text message, but telling someone their loved one died in a remote part of the ocean in a plane crash by text message?
I think I'm going to ban Malaysian Airlines for my personal travel - not because of the crash, that could happen to any airline but they have not had that good a level of contact with the families for the last two weeks and then this text message is really unbelievable.
Banned.
"The following SMS message has been sent to relatives: "Malaysia Airlines deeply regrets that we have to assume beyond any reasonable doubt that MH370 has been lost and that none of those on board survived. As you will hear in the next hour from Malaysia's prime minister, we must now accept all evidence suggests the plane went down in the southern Indian Ocean.""
