March 8 2014, a Malaysian Airline, Flight MH370, with 239 people
on board took off from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and headed for Beijing, China.
The airplane flew for 7 hours after its disappearance off the radar few hours
after taking off.
According to report by officials, the airplane's last-known
position was over the Southern Indian Ocean and it is likely the airplane
crashed into the Ocean - much evidence has not been revealed to back-up this
development. Malaysian officials said in a brief that the data report from the
British Inmarsat revealed the plane flew south in the Indian Ocean off the
coast of Perth, Australia. Hishammuddin Hussein, Malaysia's Acting
Transportation Minister said he and his team will use methods such as
information from satellite surveillance, analysis of surveillance radar data,
increasing air and surface assets and increasing the number of technical and
subject matter experts to come up with valid prove of the planes'
disappearance.
The recent news is that the search operation has been
suspended due to bad weather in the Indian Ocean which is compared to the size
of Alaska. The disappearance of the airplane remains a mystery as no distress
message was received from the Pilot of the airplane. The airplane as at the
time it went off the radar was logged out of the network at the ground station,
apparently, the airplane was no longer communicating with the ground station.
Australian officials have described the search as looking
for a needle in an ocean whose location is not yet known. Nothing less than 26
countries have joined in the search of the airplane that disappeared 3-weeks
ago with 239 people on board. Families of the people on-board recently protested
in front of the Airport with tears in their eyes. Some of them have also gone
spiritual about it by offering prayers and chants to their *God, gods*.
The where-about of the airplane still remains a mystery.
