Opinion from the desk of IST editor

I have resisted conventional wisdom and stayed away from the whole affair of the missing plane…….there have been a wealth of opinions, analysis and speculation on what happened to make this plane veer off course.

It is official as of yesterday……the plane went down in a remote section of the South Indian Ocean with all hands…….it is time to move on and let the families deal with this situation in their own way.  Rehashing what everyone thinks happened is of no use to anyone.

At this point in the ‘investigation” and the story the media is doing NO one any good….they are allowing “experts” that profit from this situation drive the story.  These people are fear mongering and that equals profits……they are using any and all scenarios to keep the other plane carriers worried that something like this could happen to them….and that is good for business.

The media has talked to everybody that has ever seen a 777….the only ones left are the vultures that want to turn this tragedy into profits…..they are acting as enablers………

An official statement has been issued…the story is dead with the single exception if they find the black box……which will do nothing to explain the trip…all it will do is tell what the last 2 hours were…..that is it.  The media needs to let it go.

It is time for the families to deal with their loss and they need their privacy……..

This is NO longer a major story……..MSM needs to back off and do what they pretend they are about….reporting the news.
