Backstories of Malaysian Flight Passengers by Anna Pickett

     Flight 370 of Malaysia Airlines held 239 passengers. The youngest passenger is two, and the oldest passenger is 76. Each had their own history and their own memories. For example, Ju Kun is a stunt man and was going to be on a new Netflix show. Mao Tugui, a painter, boarded the plane to see some of his art at an exhibition. Mohammed Khairul Amri Selamet is a civil aviation engineer. To see more information on some of the other passengers, go to the article.
     This whole disappearance is so strange. It really adds to the effect to hear about the backstories of these passengers. It makes it seem more realistic and more like it could happen to any of us. The situation is similar to the TV show Lost, but it is much more serious and scary. These passengers could have been anyone of us.

  1. This is very scary. I hope they figure out what happened to everyone soon. I've never liked planes a lot, and for reasons like this. Luckily it doesn't happen often, though, so maybe after this Malaysia will try to figure out a better way to keep in contact and track their planes. My thoughts go out to all the people on that flight and their families and friends.
