It's been over two weeks now since Malaysian Flight 370 disappeared from all contact with the known world. Untold millions of dollars have been spent by several countries ($2.5 million by the U.S. as of a week ago) looking for clues and explanations. Hours of TV news time stretch into 24/7.
Of course we want to know the answers, as with any unsolved, intriguing puzzle. Of course the families of those on board need closure. Of course, it may be vital for insurance companies to know the cause. Of course, governments need to know of any terrorist involvement.
But when do you stop applying all of the modern world's technology and work-time resources to what seems a losing quest for answers? The speculation du jour has morphed through: sabotage, unplanned catastrophic event, deliberate act of takeover, pilot suicide, and now we're back to thinking maybe it was "just an accident."
We may never know. With all the other unsolved troubles in the world needing resources, when do you accept that and say enough is enough?

As of today. 3/24/14, Malaysan authorities are saying they have concluded that Flight 370 crashed into the Indian Ocean west of Perth, Australia. It was far from any possible landing site. The cause is still undetermined, but they apparent feel confident in saying this is where it ended, based on automatic pings picked up by satelite and analyzed in a way that's never been done before.
