Don't quite understand this fresh burst of anger/grief from some of the bereaved families.
Did they really think up until last night that their relatives were still alive?
It's the
stages of grief. They're being forced from denial into anger.
Maybe it is because they got a text message with the announcement that they should consider their families to be dead, while they haven't even found a single piece of the plane yet..
Some did. Most got an in-person announcement, from what I heard. The text message covered everybody so in case they couldn't make a meeting in time, they at least wouldn't hear it first from the media.
I understand the anger and grief. What I don't understand is how they're directing it, calling the Malaysians murderers in some cases. Combine that with the scenes of people storming embassies, and this smells a lot like when the Communist party riles up the troops to go all indignant against the Japanese -- like they do every few months.
I'm trying to be sympathetic, but the temper tantrum stuff I'm reading about is wearing that mighty thin. Too often the Chinese seem to go from being sympathetic figures straight into being total decks.
