Journalists are getting media mileage whilst the cause of MH370 remains unknown.
I am constantly receiving questions on what I thought happened to MH370...having a little bit of technical expertise is dangerous as people believe in what you think.
Unfortunately a journalist who thinks they have aviation technical expertise is outright lunacy as they refer to no nobody but themselves as an authority.
These people become an author of a fiction novel that people believe is reality, due to limited technical knowledge.
