Sucks to be a Malaysian airline traveler these days.

Yeah that's what I thought when I saw this, must be destroying their rep as an airline.

This is just bad luck.
Still...... were I looking to fly I might chose a different airline.

Wow. 295 people? Oh man. Very sad.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

Malaysian might be culpable for flight plan over war zone. Even if they dodge that, they are done as an airline.
(but realize, Malaysian goes belly up, somebody else steps in, or is brought in, the planes get a new paint job, new stationary is ordered, and everything will be pretty much back the way it was)
BTW, why weren't those fucktards with the plastic buckets over their heads and the voodoo beads up their butts keeping an eye on the flight ????????

There's still no concrete conclusions as to who fired as of yet. I've read conflicting reports.
Still, extremely sad.

I smell a war coming.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
