Malaysia Airlines Flight 370!

Yeah, probably the outcome, but the circumstances will be interesting to find out.
I heard something about the black box pings for 30 days. After that does it become exponentially harder to find on the bottom of the ocean?
Yep. More debris spotted now. I sure hope the ships find it shortly. Seems like that will be the case.
Now it seems like the media has done a complete 180 on this event. At the beginning you could not turn the tv on or see a news Facebook post without hearing or reading something about MH370. Now it appears to have been dropped from coverage all together. I know our local talk radio guys were blasting Fox and CNN for their "wall to wall" coverage and the use of so called "experts". Very tragic event in our lifetime no doubt.
So flipping true! 
Just saw on tv….a lawyer said in regards to the victims family's that since this tragedy was not they're fault then of course they must be compensated…….well of course, hey if I drop my cell phone in the water and it stops working….that aint my fault I didn't design the phone and I didn't put the water there….and if I burn myself after spilling hot coffee on me…that aint my fault, I didn't make the coffee hot and I didn't make a cup that wasn't spill proof I should be compensated right??? get a grip people….s**t happens and unless there is gross negligence involved you need to chalk this up to life and get on with it. hopefully these people had life insurance polices on they're loved ones, that's what responsible people do, but now days everybody else is responsible
I searched it (airline ticket agreements) and could not make heads or tails of it, the airline could be liable for injury or death but there seem to be many vague caveats that make it difficult to understand what lets the airline off the hook unless you happen to be Ben Matlock, however just the tone of what that lawyer said upset me, implying that in general if something is not your fault then you should be compensated, it's basically a commentary on how less self dependent our society has become. but I totally welcome your idea of someone(smarter than me) to figure what the agreement actually means in real terms to travelers.
It is always "somebody else's" fault.
I understand the tone thing. But you have to remember, each of us works in industries where some of the people that hear what we say are going to get up about any tone that doesn't sound very consoling. Unless the plane got knocked out by lighting etc making it turn, there is some liability there. Period. Captain did the suicide thing? Looks somewhat likely at least. Big liability there. I have a couple of tank trucks. If someone driving for me decides to run one off a cliff to kill himself and hits you or your family, I would like think I wasn't going to get dragged into court, but I know better.
I still think that plane flew into the middle of the Affordable Care Act, no one will find it....ever.
