Sometimes I really hate the internet - it's worse than junior high gossip. Even worse is when media outlets and political figures repeat what they heard online without checking to see if it's even true.

100 AIDS researchers on the Malaysian flight? Not true. I got that from Slate, which is usually a pretty reliable source. Aside from that article

I don't know if you've heard yet, but there are problems with the investigation, because rebellions from Ukraine stole evidences, parts of the plain and others. Also, there are big number of eye witnesses, claiming they saw another plain flying along with the one who crushed seconds before it crushed. But Ukraine is forbidding them to talk in front of journalists so... We have more information, because we're close.

As for the missing plain, I'm not sure since I didn't watch much about it. Last I've there was some sudden change in the course of flying

You're right about the 'Miracle'. He just had luck and that's it.

Haha! 10% of their brains. You're saying this pretty often. :)

I'm so sorry I haven't replied to any of your story posts. I was about to do it tonight, but I watched Rurouni Kenshin 2012 (hey, great movie. Have you watched it?) and then I got into very dark mood, which was perfect for writing. I promise I'll tomorrow. :)

Yeah, I've heard about the investigation problems =\

No worries - write while you're in the right mood for it! I haven't seen Rurouni Kenshin 2012; last time I looked there wasn't a website that has it streaming. I'll take another look later this week, see if I can find it.

I haven't been paying attention to any of it, but to think a news company relies on Twitter for news, is sad.
