Australian lady lost family in both crashes this year

[idlehands]

Esper said I am more bothered we lost worthwhile human beings that could have advanced our scientific understanding than random death. Such is life.

Same, while each death is someone's tragedy, this mass killing of the best AIDS researchers in the world will affect a lot more. Imagine how much catch up will have to be played? This will resonate for years to come.

A family who lived on my street were on that plane.

Oh I thought you said 1 of the top 100 but the top 100?
Holy shit

My life is sad

[idlehands]

Fucking Russia.

Yeah it will, one of the guys was like right at the center of vaccine research. However, I will say this: that article claim is a little misleading. It was also advocates, people with HIV who are representatives, and other workers involved in it. They made it seem like 108 researches died, and though it wasn't technically that, it was obviously still a tragedy.

I wouldn't say bothered so much as I find it hard to believe this kind of coincidence could happen. Seems too unlikely.

and I know we're conditioned by fiction to see unlikely situations as common, but it's bizarre to see them in reality.

Not saying it'll solve all of her problems, it's still a shit-ton to deal with. Condolences go out to her of course, just playing Devil's advocate here.Just want to point out that she's a multi-millionaire after all this. "Money trees are the perfect place for shade"

devil's advocate to what? I didn't make this thread out of pity, I was just flabbergasted by how it went down.

What you mean they sensationalized it?

It is pretty strange and the odds really unlikely that it happened she had family on both planes. To be honest if I was in that family I would not have picked Malaysian Airlines. Though, who ever thinks lightening will strike twice.

How is it unlikely?

Well to be fair we don't know who shot that missile

[Doivid]

how is it unlikely? that in both plane crashes she lost family?

how is that /likely/ is a better question.

This has been plastered all over the news in Australia, no matter what you watch/listen to it's all about MH17. It's just utterly ridiculously bad luck for the woman and for Malaysia Airlines, it'll be a long hard road back for them now. But there's certainly lots of oddities with this crash.

I saw a link on twitter to a convo from a group of Ukrainian rebels who apparently shot it down. No idea if legit or not.

Not sure if insensitive, 5 years old, or troll.

[Rilla]

Sounds like she needs to tell the rest of her loved ones to not ride that particular company.

You can't tell that I am honestly joking.
why would a five year old know about the good ol' concerts in Sydney

Anyways, I actually feel sorry for this woman.
