Some comments on the Malaysian "bad luck".
Whilst there may be some truth in the discussion in the article, I think it's a stretch to associate it with any of the accidents referred to: We have no idea what happened to MH370 so how can we discuss the crew's actions? MH17 could have been a number of other carriers in the area, and appears to have been a case of Russian roulette - literally! The Air Asia crew were Indonesian and French, so the Malaysian argument is irrelevant!
