The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 by Katelyn McLane

China and some other countries, like Vietnam, are criticizing Malaysia about the information they're providing on the missing plane. Malaysia had told them that the plane seemed to go over the South China Sea, when, just recently, they discovered that it actually flew west into the Indian Ocean. China and other countries are furious that their precious search time was wasted on a part of the world that wouldn't have had any clues on the flight at all. They're asking Malaysia to try to provide correct information quicker so they can have a better chance of finding any survivors. Other tensions are building, and people are getting frantic about finding out what happened to the plane and its passengers and crew.

I find this whole situation equally as confusing as scary. It's odd because this kind of thing barely ever happens. There aren't many logical explanations as to what could've happened to this plane. Was it hijacked? Did the pilots mess something up? And most importantly, where are they now? It's been a long time since the plane disappeared on March 8th, and it would be very hard to keep over 200 passengers alive and apparently hidden from the world for that long. Unfortunately, I believe the plane crashed into the ocean somewhere. It's the only logical explanation on why we haven't heard from any of these passengers with cell phones, and haven't found the plane. This sounds terrible, I know, but how else could a huge plane just disappear into thin air like this? I hope we find the answers soon, and my thoughts go out to the surviving passengers and their families and friends.

  1. I agree - this situation appears to be almost impossible! I would have thought that no matter where the plane went, someone would have seen it, while it seems to have disappeared into thin air. I just heard something on the radio about this possibly being a terrorist attack, where the plane was programmed or hijacked to go in a different direction, but there aren't really any facts to back that up. No matter what, I agree that this is scary and I hope the plane is found very soon.

  2. I wish this was a perfect world, and everyone would be alive and would return home soon. Sadly, the plane probably crashed in the water.

  4. It's scary that it's taking them so long to find it! For an entire plane to disappear and no one is able to find it, it almost seems like it was planned that way. I wonder why it would be though??? Someone needed a plane that bad?
