It is the kind of screaming headlines I have seen in the last 24 hours. The exaggerated and competitive eyeball grabbing headlines began after the Australian Transportation Safety Board (ATSB) released a couple of reports based on satellite images of 23rd March 2014 obtained from a French military satellite, and updated ocean drift studies. The…
Today turned out to be a rather long day. The search for MH370 was suspended, effective today, a fact made known over email a hour or so before noon.
I trust that those who truly care for the efforts of the MH370 families will be generous in acknowledging and applauding efforts by one and all, cautious in how challenges and objections are raised, and gracious towards ‘noble’ failures.
The two-day tripartite ministerial meeting involving Malaysia, Australia and China ended 22nd July 2016 with a decision to suspend the search for MH370, should the search in the remaining 10,000 sq. km return empty handed. Many families of passengers were relieved that the search was to be ‘suspended’ and not ‘terminated’ while many sections of…

Pieces of debris, suspected to be from the aircraft, have lain in Madagascar for over three weeks now, along with more than a dozen personal belongings found on the same beach where these were found. They remain unclaimed by Malaysia, the country leading the…

Reports of debris, suspected to be from missing Malaysian Airlines flight MH370, found in the last few weeks have raised expectations and aggravated despair in quick succession for the families and friends of the victims. It is over 500 days now that we have been struggling to come to terms with the confusion and loss.…
Airlines move people across distances, help get those meetings and deals done, deliver precious / scarce supplies in quick time, and take people driven by curiosity and adventure to new places. Day after day. If you want to get a sense of the scale… the big picture… the trillions that has been sunk in over…
It is a full year since MH370 disappeared. Predictably, the print, television and digital media swung into action dusting off old footage to string together their updated narrative. There was little by way of investigative journalism that threw new light or offered fresh perspective. Most coverage seemed to depend on ‘human interest’ stories: families laid…
