Flight 370

     Flight 370 The search has expanded to cover large areas of land and sea, including 11 countries and the deep oceans. Where the plane went is anybody's guess. As 26 nations help try to find the missing plane, there's also a process of elimination in which investigators try to piece together where the aircraft isn't. Pakistan said Sunday that the plane never showed up on its civilian radars and would have been treated as a threat if it had. The Times of India reported that India's military also said there was no way the plane could have flown over India without being picked up on radar. The missing Malaysian airlines flight MH370 may have been deliberately flown under the radar to Taliban-controlled bases on the border of Afghanistan, it has emerged, as authorities said that the final message sent from the cockpit came after one of the jet's communications systems had already been switched off.

     China has became so angry that they threatened to go on hunger strike unless they got more information from Malaysian investigators. Around two thirds of the 239 passengers on board Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 are Chinese. China has repeatedly called on the 

Malaysian side to do a better job at looking after the relatives of the Chinese passengers, and to provide them with updated information. I would be angry to if something like this happened to my family. I would want to know, I think everyone would want to know!

     As of now, the pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah seems to be the most likely suspect. After investigators began looking more intently at the two pilots on, it was reportedly discovered that Zaharie is a fanatical, political activist. Zaharie allegedly attended the trial of opposition leader Anwar Ibrahim just hours before Flight 370 was set to take off. Anwar was sentenced to five years in prison in a court decision that has since been called unjust by many. In light of this new information, many fear that Zaharie may have hijacked Flight 370 as a form of political protest. Additionally, Zaharie’s wife and three children reportedly moved out of the family home just one day before the flight’s takeoff, leading many to suggest that this tragedy may have been Zaharie’s catatonic reaction to the turmoil in his personal life. Seems a little to suspicious to everyone, if it wasn’t him who could it be? In light of everything I think it’s best to assume that Flight 370 was hijacked, not “missing”.
