Head of China’s Troubled East Star Airlines Disappears

Mar 18th, 2009 | By Jared Blank

China’s struggling East Star Airlines, which has suspended operations and is now a takeover target by Air China, is in disarray after its chairman has gone missing.  The airline had its operating license suspended on Sunday for financial reasons, and its chairman, Lan Shili, was placed under house detntion while the government sorted out the mess.  Since then, Shiil is reportedly missing.  This is an odd one.

  1. “gone missing”, where the hell is “gone missing” he maybe ‘is missing’, maybe ‘was lost’ but he did not go to ‘gone’ on his way to missing. What kind of school gives out degrees for major syntax bloopers? Bloop U?
