January 11th, 2007 at 5:59 pmThank God they finally found the Adam Air wreckage. The families of the victims must be relieved (temporarily at least) to hear the news.

January 13th, 2007 at 1:13 amFree competition is good for consumers, the more airlines out there the merrier – we have more choices. BUT without proper oversight and control it is a disaster, like this one and many other examples.
Regardless of the root cause of this accident, I can’t help but say that (a lot of) Indonesians are amazing, at almost all levels they don’t think much of the implications of what they do. Even on technologically complex equipment like aircrafts, a lot of corners are cut, maintenance procedures and schedule skipped. As if they’re operating a fleet of Bajaj.
The KNKT should partly be held responsible for situation in general – including train and ferry accidents. All the incidents clearly shows lack of oversight.

January 13th, 2007 at 6:17 pmThe transportation minister should resign, if he still have any feeling of shame left in him. KNKT is only good at finding wreckages and investigating accidents, NOT in preventing the accidents on the first place.

January 13th, 2007 at 6:48 pmPreventing the accident in the first side might not let the old ‘bobrok’ airplane used in Indonesia then redesign the communication/information technology so the pilot know what wait ‘em and how to deal with it.

January 13th, 2007 at 8:33 pmWhat is wrong with Indonesia anyway? The tsunami, the earthquake in Yogya, the mud eruption in porong, the landslides nearly in every part of Indonesia, the yearly floods in some major cities, the forest fires and the smoke we exported to our neighboring countries, the busung lapar cases, the bird flu outbreak, plane crashes (Adam air, and Lion air not so long ago), ships sunk. It’s one thing after the other.
Should all of those things be attributed to natural disasters? Are we without fault? What about our government? Nothing wrong with the way they administrate our country?

January 13th, 2007 at 11:57 pmIsn’t KNKT the Indonesian version of the NTSB? – responsible for establishing the technical safety guidelines, doing inspections, etc.? If it is then is should be partly responsible for all these accidents.
Anyway, yes, we should contemplate why we’re being hit by a series of disasters – natural or not.

January 14th, 2007 at 11:46 amThe tsunami and earthquake are out of catch, but the global warming is our responbility.

January 14th, 2007 at 11:55 pm1ndra: Perhaps the tsunami, earthquake, etc were Allah’s warning to us for being ignorant and enjoyed comitting sins all the time.
“Tidak ada yang terjadi sia-sia”. One thing relates to another.

January 15th, 2007 at 10:30 amYes, we should point it that way, a warning.

January 15th, 2007 at 10:35 am1ndra, but it could also be a warning that people should use their heart and start to be a bit more tolerant towards each other regardless of their believes, race, gender, social status?

January 15th, 2007 at 4:29 pmAll of them…:)

January 15th, 2007 at 10:29 pmAmen to that.

January 15th, 2007 at 11:01 pmMaybe CIA or Mossad controlling the ocean and the weather?
-
January 15th, 2007 at 11:38 pmNo, they are controlling the remote car bombing, with satellites.

January 16th, 2007 at 12:14 amYeah, the bad guys!
