What happened?

Everyone went mad for a few weeks pointing the finger wildly in all directions some of which should have meant (but didn't) a thorough investigation of the airline's procedures and the possible grounding of it's aircraft.

The Thai authorities made statements that all would be revealed in days and then it wasn't as these things take time to analyse to the most minute detail (surprise, surprise).

The plane was hauled off a few feet to the beach and then covered in tarpaulins where I believe it still sits.

And now it's all gone quiet while the authorities hope that this, like the other load of transport catastrophies/tragedies in Thailand from train to boat to bus also go quiet so that the tourist dollars still flow with the iminent arrival of the high season.

I'd like to see a graph showing the number of tickets sold by 1, 2 Go before and after the disaster - last few times I've been at Don Muang their desks have had very few passengers in line.

Apart from that, I can tell you very little I'm afraid!
