A little hope

As of Saturday (15th March 2014), our Prime Minister Tan Sri Najib Tun Razak, announced that the B777-200ER aircraft, flight MH370 has made a deliberate turn around. The PM also said that the plane made its last contact to a satellite at 8:10am, just a little 30 minutes after MAS released the press release about the missing plane. The plane is believed to have taken either two corridors, the southern or the northern flight corridors.

Malaysia's investigation into the missing aircraft lasted a week before confirming the facts regarding the military radar that has picked up an unidentified aircraft, which is in fact MH370, in the early morning of 8th March. Our PM also mentioned that before the transponder on the aircraft was deliberately turned off by someone on the flight. We were told not to speculate on who did the deed to avoid giving false information to the public as well as not give false hope to the people involved.

This new development has placed the investigation on the missing aircraft into a new phase. An investigation is now open to investigate the characteristics and background of the passenger and crew on board the plane. Malaysian Authorities has now ceased the SAR operations in the South China Sea. They now moved the operations towards the Andaman seas and the Indian oceans with the help of several countries. The countries that offered help has increased from 14 to 25 in the hopes of finding the missing aircraft.

The PM stressed that the authorities can not confirm whether or not the aircraft was hijacked. The investigations on that matter are still on-going. The public and the media were urged not to make speculations regarding the investigation.

In these 7 days, everyone around the world prays for the safe return of MH370. Most of them have not given up hope. Lets continue to pray and hope that flight MH370 comes back home safely.

I know that my last 3 posts have been a little too serious and most of it concerns the missing aircraft. I promise I'll post something light in the coming post. Cheers.
