Hope and Prayers

On the 24th of March 2014 (Monday) at approximately 10pm, PM Najib tun Razak announced to the world that flight MH370 last known location, according to the data provided by UK's airplane crash experts, is at Southern Indian Ocean, which is 4 hours away from Perth, Australia. It is believed that no one on-board the flight survived the disaster as the area is too remote and too far from any landing strips. The PM gave his heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of those on-board flight MH370, and he also urged the media to give them privacy and space in this trying times.

Although announced as crashed, flight MH370's debris has not yet surfaced. A confirmation of the previous debris found near the area has not been made. Speculations and new theories resurfaced from the new information. Lots of questions began to rise:

How did this happen?

What happened to the flight?

How did it end up so far away from home?

Why did the transponder and ACARS on the aircraft deliberately turned off?

Why did it make an air turn back?

Who is truly responsible for this tragedy?

All these questions remains unanswered. The recovery of the aircraft's 'black box' would then answer all of the questions swirling in everyone's mind right now.

Although the announcement was already made, the SAR operations will still continue rather than just purely doing a recovery mission. Hope still lingers in the heart of some people who believed that there are survivors from the tragedy.

My prayers go to the departed souls of the crew and passengers on-board flight MH370. May God bless their eternal soul. Also a heartfelt condolences to the family members and close friends of those on-board the flight. Stay strong and our prayers are with you as well.
