Thinking of the Passengers

Here's an article about the families of the passengers on Flight MH370. They are hoping the jet was hijacked and everyone's still alive.  What else can you do but hold out hope and imagine this is similar to what happened to TWA Flight 847.  People and psychologists wonder why we're all so fascinated by the disappearance.  A 777 just doesn't simply vanish; we all remember what happen on September 11; there are many nations involved; and there are nearly 300 passengers whose lives hang in the balance.  It's not fascination, it's concern.
