It is tempting to think that once we locate the missing Malaysian Airlines MH370 aircraft the answers to what actually happened will surely follow. In the last 48-72 hours both the Chinese and Australians have detected possible 'pings' from the aircraft's data recorders.

    Point of pedantry ...

    "A Hobson's choice [wikipedia.org] is a free choice in which only one option is offered. As a person may refuse to take that option, the choice is therefore between taking the option or not; "take it or leave it"."

    So maybe instead the Malaysian authorities were between a rock and a hard place and should have chosen the lesser of two evils?
