Accuracy another victim of Lion Air loss
By the time this column is in the public domain, the loss of Lion Air Flight 610 will be relatively old news by modern standards. More details will have dribbled out and thousands upon thousands of words will have been written, dissecting, discussing and speculating on every aspect of the event.

These and more have been cast into the swirling mix of media speculation.
