Let's put this another way: back in 2011, UA had no HND slots and lost them to DL, HA and AA. A few months later, the 3/11 earthquake happened and Japan was thrown into chaos. If someone had said "well it's fortunate UA got no HND slots given the natural disaster," people would rightly be offended and upset.

(I recognize it was unintentional but it bears worth mentioning.)
No no one would be upset by that comment. The comment isn't making light of the disaster. The comment is just an observation that UA got lucky. Same here, no one is in anyway making light of situation in HKG. However it's a correct observation that DL essentially got lucky.
