It seems most threaders are interested in giving their views on what happened and why but I see no mention to the possibility of the demise of a great airline that has suffered 2 tragic events in 4 months with the loss of over 540 lives. Where does Malaysia go from here? What will happen with the aircrew and ground engineers?
The aircraft crashed and it doesn't matter how much hypothesis and assumptions are made, it wont bring them either aircraft back or make it any easier for the losses.
