RIP / Goodnight #370

 

8th March 2014, a flight from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing has vanished in the air. It is the flight #MH370. The flight was carried 239 passengers inclusive the air craft crews. Many multi-tasking involved and many foreign countries are given assistance to Malaysia to search the missing jet. Eventually, this becomes the world news for weeks. The reason is that all the people want to know the happenings of the missing jet.  

After 17 agonising days, the search for MAS flight MH370 has come to a tragic end. The Prime Minister of Malaysia has announced that "The flight MH370 ended in the Southern Indian Ocean."

 

This is a tragic news to all the families and friends of #370. I bet the whole world is also shocked with such heart-breaking announcement on 24/3/2014. The announcement stated that all the passengers on the flight have sacrificed. This makes all the families of the passengers a heart-break and some even did not believe until they have seen the wreckage or debris, bodies of their loved ones!

Personally I also shocked with the announcement and could not believe it as the searching teams were announced that they have found some suspicious items hours before the announcement of Malaysian Prime Minister. The result of the suspicious items are yet to confirm and such heart-breaking news has been announced!!!

Anyway, I wish miracle would still happen to #MH370 and also want to thank and salute to the rescue and searching teams from the countries involved for assistance and also the volunteers helping the families of the flight passengers.

I wish that the black box could be found ASAP so that we would know the truth for the #MH370. What has happened during the flight? Cyber hijacking, hijacking, suicide, sabotage?! It is only known that the last conversation between the co-pilot and the control tower is "Alright, goodnight!" Anyway, I wish all the families of the 239 passengers of the #MH370 to stay strong, as life goes on. Please do not blame the country airline as this is the most serious tragedy for the aviation industry in the world and such airline is inexperience for such matter.

Here I want to borrow a phrase from an Anonymous which I quoted from The Star paper :

" No farewell words were spoken, no time to say goodbye,
   you were gone before we knew it, and only God knows why. "

Here is a song dedicate to #MH370 and the whole world!!! The title of the song is "Angel" by Sarah Mclachlan.

Lastly, Goodnight / RIP #MH370! May God bless you all!!!

They are from USA, China, Vietnam, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, Australia and India. This jet has carried about 239 passengers and all the people are praying for them to come back safely.

Although there are none of the passengers i have known, I still feel sorry for their family and friends. They must be very upset and depressed now, especially when received the message "prepare for the worst!". :(

However, I want to tell all the passengers of MH370 that we all are giving full support to you all, please do not give up! Let us not forget, we also have to give support and thank to all the rescue and searching teams from the different countries. Thanks to their effort for the assisting!

8th March 2014 is a gloomy day for Malaysia! Although it is the International Women's Day, a sad thing has happened. An aeroplane, flight MH370 has disappearing after 2 hours departured from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA). The flight is supposed to reached the Beijing International Airport by 6.30am of 9/3/2014. However, the aeroplane did not reach its destination, instead it has gone missing or disappearing and lost contact with the control tower. 

It is found that the flight has disappeared on the sea above Vietnam area. The flight has 227 passengers and 12 cabin crews. The passengers are from various nationalities, and Chinese are about half of them.The flight  MH370 is a Boeing plane. 

After discovered the flight MH370 has missing, Malaysia has started to search the plane. The rescue teams then also followed with the help of China, Singapore, Vietnam, USA. Honestly speaking, I think this is the first time missing aviation for Malaysia.

The missing of flight MH370 has become a big news to the world, everybody are worried and wondering what has happened to such flight. Did it crash, hijack?! No matter what has happened, I wish the people in the flight are safe and nothing bad would happen to them!

I wish a miracle would happen to flight MH370! That is the flight has changed its route and has landed at somewhere and all the people are safe. They are only lost contact for the temporary and soon will be returned to their home safely respectively.

So, let us all pray for the flight MH370 and make sure all the people of the flight are safe! May God bless all!!!
