Aviation Nightmares Spark Fears
Last year was a very bad year for aircrafts and the nightmare continues in 2015.
In the last year there have been many aircraft disappearances and crashes, particularly in Asia.
According to the website planecrashinfo.com, 1,021 aviation deaths have been registered so far in 2014, including military crashes with 10 or more fatalities.
Not since 1998 have more people perished in plane crashes, confirmed by the Aviation Safety Network.
Last year was particularly bad for Malaysia Airlines. In 2014, the Asian air company lost two aircrafts within 131 days.
The first plane was Flight MH370 that went missing after departing from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing.
It “disappeared” on March 8 in an unknown location with more than 239 people aboard.
The second loss was Flight 17 that crashed near Donetsk in eastern Ukraine on July 17 with 298 passengers and crew.
That plane was believed to have been hit with a surface-to-air missile.
Of the two aircrafts, Flight MH370, is still one of the greatest mysteries in aviation history.
There is little evidence behind what happened and no debris from the plane has been found.
How can a Boeing 777, a wide-body jet airliner, disappear without a trace in the 21st century?
In an era filled with technology, it does not seem right when we lose track of tons of metals, plastic, glass, clothing, liquid, wires and humans. Some say that the plane vanished to “another dimension”, which would be a good plot for a science-fiction novel or movie, but not actual fact.
Families of the lost passengers told authorities that they tried to call their loved ones on their cellphones.
They reported that the devices were ringing.
If proven true, the fact that the cell phones were ringing says a lot, particularly that the devices were not destroyed or shut off during whatever happened to the plane.
Other people believe that the plane is somewhere on earth. It was not teleported by ET to another galaxy or a higher dimension.
The explanations to the plane disappearance may be more down-to-earth than we think.
It could be a lack of cooperation between the governments involved the search, according to Malaysian lawyer and author Matthias Chang in article published in Global Research.
He wrote that “the search for the Malaysian Airlines jetliner that vanished over the South China Sea has involved more than two dozen countries, 60 aircrafts and ships.
“The search has been plagued by regional rivalries,” Chang said, “that investigation became deadlocked over the reluctance of others to share sensitive data, a reticence that appeared to harden as the search area widened”.
Whatever happened to Flight MH370 may have nothing to do with a mystery. We don’t know yet, but someday, we will.
