I'm quite shocked and saddened that my country's national airline lost another plane today as it was SHOT DOWN BY SOME IDIOTS. And then some uncivilized, ignorant people in here could just say "hey i wouldnt trust this airline anymore" when it was someone else doing that almost 300 people lying dead somewhere in Ukraine??? Sigh, and I thought people in btc forum is way informed and tech-savvy than most of the people out there.

Rest in peace.

Why did you assume everyone on BitcoinTalk was 'smarter' than other people?

I will say Rest in Peace to the victims, however, I'll be scared to get on one of their planes. I understand it wasn't their fault, but I would still be quivering.

I dont know. probably some placebo effect because it's a tech-related forum.

Well, road accidents in Malaysia has higher death in a year than that plane. So it's just like 'okay sad time, sleep now, tomorrow just continue battling our lives on road to workplace like normal every life'. As an example :

This special police operation on reducing road accidents called 'Ops Sikap' or 'Operation Attitude' are usually done on festive season throughout the country and usually last around 12~20 days, sometimes up to 30 days. See the death toll. For 2011, 17k accidents are reported, 199 people perished on road, and this is during the ops itself. imagine how a normal day would be like. Undecided
