The search goes on...

Mystery in the sky…

Is history repeating itself? I sure hope not, but I’m afraid it’s doing just that, repeating itself. After flight MH370 disappeared from the radar, without as much as a trace, well 8 months later it happens to Asia Air. Flight QZ8501 went off the radar, and no one knows why. The plane simply disappeared, that’s it.

They found objects in the Java Sea, but the objects were not from the missing aircraft. The objects floated southwest of the island Pangkalan Bun, about 1100 kilometers from the last known location of the passenger plane. As there was the hope that it was debris from the missing device, but sadly that wasn’t the case.

Earlier in the day, an alarm has been collected during the search, south of Borneo. The exact location, however, can’t be determined by the auxiliaries.

Also an Indonesian helicopter spotted oil slicks at sea, east of the island of Belitung. This location was very close the point where the aircraft had last contact with air traffic control. The oil samples were examined on to see if they were from the missing flight QZ8501. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case.

Finding objects and oil slicks at sea…(turns out they are not from the missing aircraft).

Does this ring a bell? Yes it does, doesn’t it? Exactly, it all happened 8 months ago, when flight MH370 went off the radar and until today still hasn’t been found.

Presumably, the plane crashed into the Java Sea, no one knows for sure! The tension must be unbearable for the relatives of the passengers. Many of them were waiting for the Surabaya airport desperate for news of their loved ones. Also, Singapore has set up a center where relatives can come together.

My thoughts and prayers are for the relatives who still waiting for answers, and hopefully they will get them soon!
