Looking at the update at 2.32pm AEST makes me sad. Two people mourning over the loss of their relatives and everyone in the airport takes pictures of them. Here is the image (although I'm just spreading it around more): http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/20...

Taking pictures of suffering people is so inhuman, we rarely see this side when we look at the news.

This is really disgusting indeed. But journalists also do that the whole time

Captain had almost 20,000 hours under his belt. (Btw, I'm not sure why the airline web site used that particular html file name.)

Likely a reuse of their "site down for maintenance" functionality.
