Boeing and Malaysian Airlines are about to start writing some rather large compensation checks once those lawyers get their paperwork in order.
China don't want to hear that. They want their scientists. What was on that cargo man

That nucca Martin Savage and the other dude have lived in that simulator for a month now smh
That place is in Toronto too. So dude got flown out here, and goes from hotel to simulator and back to hotel. He really is living the life of a pilotI was just talking about that with someone at my job. If he don't already by now he should know how to fly an airliner with ease.
A Mississauga flight simulator business fired an instructor who figured prominently in CNN’s coverage of missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370, saying he showed up late to his regular job and “shamed Canadians” by dressing like a teenager.
uFly company owner Claudio Teixeira said he fired Mitchell Casado on Wednesday in part for his refusal to dress professionally and making Canadians “look very bad all over the world.”
Casado’s relaxed style of jeans and plaid shirts attracted attention during CNN’s constant coverage of the search for the missing flight.
CNN’s Martin Savidge and Casado logged many hours reporting from the fake cockpit located at the company’s office in near the Toronto airport, which has a simulator that is the same model of the lost plane.
Savidge, who had been vacationing in Australia when the plane went missing on March 8, was sent to Canada for one day on March 14 and returned home for the weekend. The response to his reports was so positive, CNN sent him back on March 17, and he stayed until Monday, April 14 — about 30 days in total. Two days later, Casado was fired.
Instead of creating graphics, Savidge said it’s valuable to show what instruments like the transponder that are talked about in news reports actually look like and where they are located in relation to a pilot.
Mostly, they use the machine to simulate what might happen under certain scenarios. He said he asked Casado off-air to show what might happen to a 777 if it ran out of fuel. It proved horrific: lights flashed, alarms sounded, the nose pointed skyward while gravity pulled the plane down. It fell backward toward the ocean.
“Even though it’s simulated, it’s quite awful to see … we made a pact that we would never, ever show something on the air like that,” Savidge said.
They logged so much airtime reporting from the fake cockpit that the hashtag #freemartinsavidge appeared on Twitter.
On Wednesday, Savidge announced that he was finally free, and heading west.
“And so let the word spread across the land Martin Savidge is free at last,” he wrote on Twitter. “Now watch where I go!” Late Wednesday night, the reporter with “pretty strong claustrophobia” announced that his next assignment will take him under the sea. Savidge is now broadcasting live from a small submarine off the coast of Vancouver, B.C.
Teixeira said Casado didn’t come to work Tuesday when customers had the simulator booked.
“This is not the first time. He’s been warned before,” he told The Associated Press.
Teixeira says he received many email complaints about the instructor’s way of dressing during the time he appeared on CNN.
“Even though I let him be on TV he shamed us Canadians and shamed my company with the way he was dressing like he was 15 years old,” he said. “People were complaining that it wasn’t professional at all … If you go to any plane you don’t see them in shorts and sandals.”
Casado, who is reportedly from Scarborough but now based in Mississauga, declined to comment when reached by AP, saying “I’m not interested in talking to you.”
