2* What is the most likely cause of the disappearance of Malaysian Airlines Flight #MH370 - mechanical failure, terrorism, human error or something else?

 

3* How likely is it that the Malaysian government has fully disclosed what it knows about the disappearance of the airliner - very likely, somewhat likely, not very likely or not at all likely?

 

4* How likely is it that we will find out exactly what happened to the missing plane?

 

5* Is the media covering the airliner’s disappearance too much or not enough? Or has the level of media coverage been about right?

 

6* Are you more likely or less likely to travel by commercial plane now because of the Malaysian incident? Or does it have no influence on your travel plans?
