Malaysia 370 disappears over the Indian ocean

March 8 2014  Malaysia airlines is on its way Beijing China. Right now its in Kuala Lumpur, there are 227 passengers and 12 crew. The fight number is MH370. the pilots are Zaharie-Ahmad-shah and his co pilot is Fariq-Abdul-Hamid. 

After fueling it took off. Malaysia was in the air, passengers were looking at the beautiful view. The plane was flying over the Gulf of Thailand. Just then it made a right turn, then it made a left turn. It was flying straight but it made another turn then it made another turn to the southern Indian ocean. Then it continued to fly for 5 hours. 

Then the control tower made a phone call but no-one answered. At 7:13pm MYT, another phone call was made to the cockpit but no one answered it. It was one hour late in Ho Chi Minh city but MH370 was still flying. The plane has been flying for over 7hours and 38 minutes then it ran out of fuel. 

The data from Inmarsat satellites told that the plane had crashed in the Indian ocean between 8:15-8:19 pm MYT. The investigation was immediately started after the crash. 19 ship's were deployed and 345 sorties were looking for the crashed plane. They searched about 4.6million-km2 but they found nothing. 

But in July 2015 a piece of wreckage was found in the beach off reunion. It was a wing flapper. More pieces were found on January 17 2017. The search was called off. The Perth team also found nothing else. Some people believe that the plane had been hijacked. 

  • Did you know that 26 countries were trying to find the plane.?
  • Did you know that the search went on for days but nothing was found. 53 million dollars were spent to finding the plane.
In conclusion we do not know why the plane crashed and it still remains a big mystery

    Hi Kritarth, waited a long time for this. This air disaster remains a mystery. I did not know so many countries were involved in the search for the whereabouts of this plane.
    Your blogs are quite interesting and informative. Keep posting regularly.
    Love you,

A road trip to remember

Image
This is my story of my family's first road trip in US we planned in just 2 days, covering 4 National Parks and 5 states where we will be travelling a total distance of 2200 miles in 8 days. Our trip to India we had planned all summer was cancelled at the very last moment, due to some visa issues. All our bags were packed and the mood in the house was gloomy to put it mildly. My father was planning to go extreme on the road trip. His idea of the road trip was to travel the breadth of America from West to East, starting from Seattle in Washington to Boston in  Massachusetts. To put it into perspective that would mean a distance of 3,045 miles one way and then back. That would be just 6 days one way drive even if we drove like 500 miles per day with my younger brother who is just 4 years old. Thankfully some sense got into him, and we decided to abandon the plan. So, what actually ended up happening was a more planned trip, where we covered 250 miles per day and enjoyed the  rest of t

A Visit to Palm springs

It was early in the morning, and I woke up to the sound of my mom's footsteps going to the kitchen. I tried to go back to sleep but I just couldn't because I was too excited to go to Palm Springs, California. We had already packed our bags the night before and our uncle was coming to drop us off to the airport, where we will be meeting our friends and fly together. It was the middle of December and departures were all backed up, like the Wall Street had just closed for the trading day.  After 40 minutes we arrived a SeaTac international airport and I hugged my uncle, and we went into the Alaska airlines section. The SeaTac airport is spread in an area of 2500 acres and has 3 runways. The airport entered service in 1949 and is owned by port of Seattle.  There we checked in for our flight and we waited for our other friend's family to come. Once they arrived, they checked in and we all went to security check and then we went on a tram to the N gates, our gate was n11. Once

My Trip To Seaside

Image
It was the summer break, and no summer is complete without a trip to the beach. It was pretty last minute, but we managed to book a lovely Hotel room with a view of the sea, and this is the story of my trip. Hope you enjoy reading this. It was a nice sunny morning on August 2, and I was super excited to go to Seaside!!!, So we packed our bags and had some breakfast and left for our first stop  The Astoria Column . It was a total 3 hours drive. As we were crossing through SeaTac my brother and I saw four Alaska Airlines and two Deltas as well as a Southwest . The Deltas were a a330 neo and a 737 and the Southwest and Alaska planes were just 737s. After a few hours later we entered Oregon through this super cool and long bridge, and I saw some long container ships.                                                                                   Few minutes later we pulled into the Astoria Column it was so tall and had some historical pictures on it. After purchasing a $1 wooden airpla
