Between doubts & holding one's breath, better not "blink" eyes

#Arrrghhh - as in transparency. Is there a news blackout for the "ongoing" accident investigations? No news is good news, as in not releasing any bad news - especially as it related to GE235's crash? Watched an hour's worth of live TVBSN and Global News No.2 Station this evening, and nothing - zero updates with the investigations ... maybe, next Monday ?? Did I missed any new development, probably not !

Both orange-colored blackboxes recovered in apparently excellent conditions - FDR readouts were released a few days ago, and I read that investigators also finished listening to & preparing the audio transcript from the cockpit recordings - preparing to release (partially, at least - or, redacted portions) it to the public to shred some clues as to the reasons for the crash ??
I guess too much - maybe it is not good for the busy CNY tourism travel with folks coming & going across the TW Strait with mainland CN, and bad for the economy & businesses ??

In other news - the female FA was laid to rest and the head of TransAsia came to pay respect @ the funeral, without saying a word and left in a hurry. http://news.tvbs.com.tw/entry/567322

Meanwhile, CAA asked the military to have their C-130's (transport) on standby to be prepared to fly to bridge the needs several days ago. http://news.tvbs.com.tw/entry/567182
