It's "Almost Inconceivable" MH370 Plane Still Missing, Says Final Australian Report

(Huffington Post)
#SamaSamaMH370

"It is almost inconceivable and certainly societally unacceptable in the modern aviation era with ten million passengers boarding commercial aircraft every day, for a large commercial aircraft to be missing and for the world not to know with certainty what became of the aircraft and those on board," the Australian Transport Safety Bureau said.
=
Remember what became of Malaysian Airlines pilot, an agitator, a brooder or liar, a tactician who covertly planned a mystery, who flew a commercial aircraft so high that all passengers suffocated and died in terror. It sank into the bottomless, briny Indian Ocean. So traumatic! Revolting! It certainly was no accident, but can the aircraft ever be found?
