Malaysia Airlines was in dire financial straits even before losing a plane March 8, and analysts said it may be difficult for the national carrier to continue after the latest crash Thursday. The reason Flight 370 went missing with 239 people aboard is unknown and the latest crash of Flight 17 with 295 people aboard might have been caused by hostile military action. But analysts say the two catastrophes could make it difficult for the airline to continue operating.
