Looking at the resources that are being pumped into the search for flight MH370 and then at the Solomons situation, there's a part of me that thinks it's time to look after the living.
Of course, I would think differently if a relative of mine was on the flight. And
there will be lessons learned that may assist future air travel if the flight is found.
But at the moment it seems a huge number of assets, as they are called these days, has been deployed for what could prove an impossible task.
Australia has said it will take as long as it takes. That time may be coming to an end.
In the Solomons, devastating floods and later an earthquake delivered misery to the Pacific nation. Nearly a quarter of the capital Honiara's population is homeless. Entire communities have been swept away, major access bridges have collapsed and roads have been destroyed. The death toll is 21 but likely to rise.
