Exactly, that's why I mentioned how I appreciate Hud's posts. He only really talks about what he knows, explains it well (and a lot of the time the topic is fascinating) along with some informed opinions which may or may not be correct but are still more valuable than a layperson's. At the very least, the perspective is valuable and appreciated.
The findings are sad and scary. I only ever wanted to err on the side of caution until we knew more. I didn't assume the worst, I just thought it might be possible and wanted to see. And it looks like grounding the craft was the right move.
I also didn't like the comments from that guy's pilot friend about supposed low quality of inexperienced, non Canadian pilots. I don't care if they came from a pilot or anyone else - I hated the idea of blaming people without knowing more, and now that we do, you can see why. That's a perfect example of two people who can both provide valuable insight, but one chose rumors, speculation, and bad faith assumptions instead.
I didn't even want to bring up all the people talking about how much money they planned to make buying Boeing stock... I hate stock trading and this is an example why. It seems that you have to lose your humanity in order to make money on crises like these, and I don't see how that doesn't just make your skin crawl when doing so. BTW I am NOT hoping for Boeing to die so all the greedy investors lose money (because a ton of people who don't care about stock prices would suffer even more), but come on.
