(8,554 posts)It doesn't seem fair to me, considering that they really have no idea what happened to the plane or even where it might be, at this point. I get that speculation is necessary as part of investigation, but now it's nearing a smear of two pilots who may be completely innocent.
I have a friend whose daughter piloted a jet that crashed, killing both pilots and two passengers. I don't know if it was because a couple of people involved were slightly well-known or simply because the flight captain was a woman, but that crash was sensationalized to the max in the press, and that poor pilot was drug thru the mud by the media, devastating her friends and family. As it eventually turned out, she wasn't to blame...the plane she flew failed her, but, of course, the final conclusion of that investigation barely made a blip in the news.
