6. Imagine yourself in the position of the authorities.

They don't know. They can't know. How do you reassure people whose loved ones have vanished, that you are doing everything that you can?

This event just sucks, for everyone.

I don't know where your mother is. I don't know where your child is. I don't know. I don't know. We're looking. And meanwhile, the people asking are victims themselves, having lost what is most important in life to any of us.

Who wants to be the PR guy to stand up and field that stuff? Who could?


And when people fail, they fall back to cultural decorum. Which means, people get removed as disruptive.
Sucks.

What can anyone do? Find the plane. That's all anyone can do. Find the plane, find the people, answers will come.
