Deadly vanishes into thin air

Sometimes bad luck hits you like an ancient Greek tragedy and it is not your own making. The catastrophe that strikes are so inconceivable.

The three heart-wrenching crashes are yet to be fully explained while there are many conspiracy theories being explained. Two Malaysian Air Boeing Co. 777s, out of which one has been suspected to have disappeared in the Indian Ocean and the other MH17 posits that it has been shot down. Also there lies an unexplained AirAsia tragedy which slaughtered 665 passengers, accounting for 75 percent of annual toll of 884, according to safety consultant Ascend Worldwide.

The mystery crashes began with Malaysian flight MH370 which vanished on March 8^th, MH17 on July 17^th and ended up with the demise of AirAsia QZ8501 on a routine trip from Java to Singapore on December 28^th of 2014. This proves that 2014 has been one of the deadliest years ever since 2005. Paul Hayes, head of safety at Ascend, one who has tracked trends in air crashes since 1974 quoted that, “Planes are becoming so big that the loss of even one wide-body can have a major impact on the data”. He also quoted that, “Planes seating more than 14 people suffered 10 events that killed passengers last year, the same number as in 2013, when 220 travelers died, and 2012, when 416 perished”.

All three jets were reported to be flying at a cruising altitude, with MH370 having leveled out at 35,000 feet after departing Kuala Lumpur for Beijing before doubling back over the Malay peninsula for unexplained reasons which carried 227 passengers including 12 crew leading to unknown evidences of 239 people. MH17 was operating at 33,000 feet when it plunged to the ground and it carried 283 passengers including crew of 15 leading to fatality of all 298 people, and AirAsia QZ8501 was at 32,000 feet when its pilots asked to go higher in stormy weather carrying 155 passengers, 7 crew leading to fatality of all 162 people out of which 48 bodies have been found and 25 bodies have been identified. Aviation experts believe that what happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 may never be proved - but that hasn't stopped a vocal global community of conspiracy theorists from trying.

There have been many conspiracy theories regarding MH370 explained by many of those theorists as, “it could have been shot down during a joint military exercise between the United States and Thailand in the South China Sea, Terrorist hijacking, or probably an Island landing”.

Despite all those theories, the reality is certainly more mundane. To my perception  whatever happened to the plane was "a deliberate act by someone on board, a perfectly planned suicide or a revenge attack. Until we realize the dead pains, peace and harmony will be the words only in the pages of dictionary". But will we ever be able to prove that? No.
