The Mystery

Welcome back to yet another week that was post! This week we have a focus on the mystery that has gripped the world. I am, of course, talking about the mystery that was Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 that went missing. A plane full of over 200 passengers went missing without a trace and nearly a week later no trace has been found. A similar case occurred not too long ago with a French airlines flight which took over two years to find. However, since there has been very little evidence to show what has happened, there is a lot of speculation. Channel 7 did a big 'news' story on the missing flight and, like all the stories so far, it is all speculation. There has been very little facts but a lot of speculation and sometimes it is hard to separate the fact from the fiction.

The most intriguing part that gripped the world with this story is the fact that the plane disappeared without a trace. One moment there was a signal from the plane's GPS and the next minute it was gone without any SOS signal been sent out by the pilot. The black-box is one of the most confusing pieces of lost wreckage as they send out signals for 30 days yet no signal has been found from the black-box on this flight. It is evidence such as this that has lead to many different 'conclusions'. I must stress that this is entirely speculation as there is no clear evidence to suggest what really happened aboard the ill-fated Boeing 777 headed for China. Some say the plane was disintegrated by something so powerful so as to destroy every single part of that plane, including the black-box. This is one theory that, if it were to be true, would shock many aerospace engineers as they would have a new threat to their 'indestructible' black boxes. The reason the plane would have had to have totally disintegrated is that when a plane crashes into the ocean there are parts of that plane that do float so by now there should have been some evidence found. Another theory is that the plane was hijacked and then rerouted somewhere to be used as part of a terrorist scheme. However, as days pass, this possibility also becomes less and less likely as no news is heard or hostage situation announced. Personally, I think that the scariest part of all this is that when relatives tried to call their loved-ones on the plane the phones rang fully out. This means, that those phones were still fully functional. If they had broken (either by water or disintegration) then they would not have rung out. This scares me a lot for some reason which I can not confidently put my finger on. It will most likely prove to be a very crucial piece of information when the truth of that ill-fated flight does, if ever, come out of the mist. From many different television shows (I think I have been watching too much Fringe [there is no such thing as too much Fringe though so maybe I am wrong]) there has also been the explanation that more and more people are going to; that the plane was simply taken into another dimension. The truth is sure to be a lot less confusing than that but when all that is possible is ruled out, all that remains is the impossible (I did not make that up, I think it was from Sherlock). However, since this story holds an interest for people all over the world there is not going to be a lack of searching for a very long time (if ever). With the world constantly watching, I doubt anyone will stop searching until answers have been found. The different responses have also been great to see. You can see these responses on the news. For example, you have the sad Australian relatives and then the angry Chinese. It is great to have so many different emotions on the one thing as it can open up new avenues and possibilities that may have previously been looked over.

The mystery of this flight is sure to go down in history. See you tomorrow!
