flight MH370 missing

11.28am


its been 50 over hours now since flight mh370 has mysteriously disappeared. mh370 was to take off from the capital of malaysia, kuala lumpur to beijing, china. at this point in time(as im typing this blog), im also watching the news on telly and they are reporting that the different authorities are still gathering information from the suspected crash site (which is most likely out in the open sea , south china sea to be precise).  theres so much chaos especially in kl, where i think its the "hub" where all the news are flowing in to. thats why im not surprised if/when theres a big miscommunication in the process.

when i first heard this news on saturday morning, my heart just dropped and i still feel very uneasy over this incident as we speak. i have this strange weird feeling in the pits of my stomach. honestly, i've never really felt this way before over any other air crashes around the world (although with due respect, it was all very sad and tragic), except for one more other crash that gutted me back in 1995(will blog about that later). and my guess is the reason that im feeling this way is probably because its "closer to home" and lets not forget that i was once a cabin crew with malaysia airlines. 

i can relate to how families and friends of all the folks on board flight mh370 are probably feeling right now. so many questions left unanswered and nobody can really help them. no doubt volunteers were sent to assist them in any possible way in this trying time but lets face it, these volunteers are not in these people's shoes. sometimes i do wonder, here the volunteers are trying to "talk" and destress these poor people, but would it help much? even if they let it out and "talk" so what? right now isnt really the right time to "talk" to them as they are numb, lost, angry, in denial etc. however no one knows if this would further aggravate the situation at hand or vice versa. 

i was sent a montage of the 12 crew on board(including the captain and co pilot) and i think that i may have flown with one of the cabin crew. (wont be naming names). im surprised as to how so fast news can spread like wildfire and then the first thing im getting (from my ex batchmates) is the crew name list for that flight. then much later im sent the photos of the crew! wow! 

i have my own thoughts on this whole situation but i shall reserve my comments and see what the outcome is. at the end of the day, what we need is hard proof of the whole incident. i just hope and pray that mh370 is "safe" wherever they may be. i just remembered one of the comment made by one of the spokesperson from malaysia airlines, he said something like "....that after more than 30 hours there's a slim chance that anyone couldve survived". but lets just hope for a miracle here!!

so im dedicating this blog today to all on board of mh370. may god be with them as well as their families. please say a prayer to them for strength. on behalf of the malaysian citizens, a big thank you to those countries who are lending a helping hand and god bless everyone.
