Hi Keg. Thanks for your comments.
I locked the thread principally because:
1. It is not within our forum area, Australia, NZ and the Pacific. PPRuNe does not want "parallel threads" running in various regional forums. The thread rightfully belongs in the Asian forum.
Rumour & News:

Fragrant Harbour:

2. I anticipated the usual arm chair expert in love with the sound of their own keyboard would probably post dumb or irrelevant comment or theory.
3. Until FULL details are known following the investigation, no one is really qualified to comment. Derogatory comments are appearing in the media about the delay in evacuating the aircraft; whilst perhaps unusual, there may have been excellent safety reasons for that decision, made by those most qualified to judge at the time.
I'll leave all comments posted in this thread so people may make their own decisions.
