Malaysian Mystery

                Search teams from around the globe have gathered in the surrounding seas of Malaysia to search for a missing Boeing 777 that has been missing for almost a week now. There has been no sign of the commercial airline in almost a week and there were no distress calls made of any trouble. Was there a mechanical emergency? Or was it more? As of right now nobody knows and this could take weeks to figure out what really happened.

                If the plane is found within a month of crashing officials will be able to find a black box that is withheld on the plane. This box is nearly indestructible and has all the information that investigators need to find out what exactly happened to the plane. The black box contains all of the voice calls, distress calls, and all of the talk between the pilots throughout the flight and would help bring this case to a close. The only problem with this is that the box with all of this information only keeps sending a signal for only one month and when that time is up, all of that info is lost forever.

                No matter what happened to the passenger plane people’s lives were at risk. Investigators need to do whatever possible to put an end to this and give friends and families of the passengers the good or bad news about the situation. And the sooner they can do this the sooner everybody will have closure about the situation.

                Terrorism is a possibility in the disappearance of the airplane. It was reported by Fox News that two passports were stolen from a Malaysian airport. This could have led to a hijacking and inevitably ended in the crashing of the plane. As of right now that is the only evidence that officials have been able to find. Almost two hundred and forty people were on the ship. Of those people there were thirteen different nationalities, three United States citizens, and two children on board. This is devastating to all the families and friends that are anxiously waiting to hear the fate of their loved ones.
