With all due respect YM, if you honestly believe that those poor people had better options if the skip had left the plane on the ground in UAAA or ZBAA for any amount of time with the uncertified dead body of their child with no immediate facilities available on hand to preserve the body, then you and I have very different betting tendencies.
I might not be a fan of HKG in its entirety but I'd sooner hedge my bets that I'd rather deal with these sorts of things in HKG, especially if I'm not a national of any of the aforementioned countries. Which the parents weren't.
I personally know two of the crew who flew that flight and I can guarantee you that they wouldn't have continued if they thought they couldn't do it safely. Company duress would have not come into their decision making.
Liam, couldn't agree with you more.
