Leading HIV researchers lost as flight MH17 is downed in Ukraine
Wait a minute,<p>- Why are 100 HIV experts on the same plane in the first place? Hasn't somebody realized this is a risk and usually considered 'a bad idea'?
- Why are they all flying across the entire world (Amsterdam-Melbourne) to visit a conference? If you have to fly 100 people around the world for just a conference, isn't it a better idea to hold the conference in a location nearby, say Europe (depends on how many are coming from Australia of course)?<p>Of course, it's absolutely terrible what happened yesterday and the mood here (NL) isn't great. Don't get me wrong on that part.
