Réunion Island, Linked to Malaysian Plane, Makes Most of Moment
Playing any part in one of modern aviation’s most enduring mysteries — even if it’s a small side role — may not make the best tourism advertisement.

I am not suggesting that you write or author a blog. This could prove to be too much work and require too much time and effort. What I am suggesting is that you "respond" to other people's blogs.
