and i also wonder you know, i ve been critical of air traffic control since this thing started. where were they? why aren t they asking this airplane to squawk i.d. so we can identify them. why aren t they asking what are your intentions? why aren t they creating the conversation? an airline flying over land you would think would raise those types of communications from air traffic controllers. we ve got to leave it there, jim, john, thank you very much. i m going to talk to a grief counselor who has been talking to the families of the missing. imagine, as closely as people have been following this, what it is like for them with this constantly shifting information from malaysian authorities. we ll hear from him ahead. gunderman group is a go.
