MH 370 - A year on
It's been a year since MH 370 disappeared with 239 persons on board. As we approach this heart-breaking anniversary, there have been a couple of new theories that have cropped up, like here, and here.
The only thing we know for sure is that the bloody expensive search in the inhospitable seas off west Australian has been futile so far. Most of the experts assigned to the search agree that the data shows the plane went down in that area, but other theories persist.
I found out about this tragedy on the morning of my usual Saturday soccer session, when my Twitter feed exploded with the news of the disappearance of MH 370.
The news then hit home hard when a friend sat down, in the midst of our usually boisterous games, looking rather ashen. He was working his mobile phone non-stop, and he explained that his brother was a MH pilot and he was due to fly that same morning.
It wasn't until a couple of hours later that he managed to reach his family back in KL, who told him his brother was safe in Australia.
It's been emotionally difficult keeping up with news on MH 370, and I can only imagine how much harder it must be for the families of the ones who have perished or remain lost.
I can only pray that closure comes soon for everyone involved.
