But it only sucked in one plane so far, so not too bad.
We can rule out Manchester United as a possible cause too. Because as much as they suck as well, they also blow.
dad spoke to his cousin who's the father in law of one of the passengers and her family on board, and it seems they have been called up to Putrajaya (our equivalent of Canberra) in light of the new discovery of the satellite imagery by Australia. Probably more waiting for them - when first news broke out of the missing plane think all the families were just waiting and staying at the nearby hotel for a week or so.
I understand it's easy to joke about these things - I would too if it happened to someone else completely abstract or is not related to my own country - but I think the wound is still very, very fresh for us here.
Not to be totally insensitive, but black humor is a normal human coping mechanism too. The things doctors need to joke about when dealing with patients in life-threatening situations...
You do know the tragic story of 9/11 and Todd & Timmy, yes?
