when it rains, it pours

so the saying goes - when it rains, it pours! well its true. especially what im about to tell you. its been what, almost 40 days coming soon since we the world, last heard about the missing malaysia airline plane MH370. how sad this news is. im still glued to the news be it online or on the telly or the papers and from the looks of it, the australian government is narrowing its search areas down, which is a bit of a good news instead of scouring the entire indian ocean! my god! its so vast that it goes beyond anybody's imagination, with "nothingness" all around except for the big blue and the big blue skies.  then some netcitizens/keyboard warriors too have been speculating that the plane could have landed in afghanistan. *scoffs* what next! alien abduction?? come on, get real !

ok, nevermind about this missing plane, but seems like there have been a couple more aviation mishaps besides MH. on march 26, an indonesian airline Malindo Air bound for kuala terengganu, malaysia, had to turn back to the subang airport in malaysia, after one of its engines caught fire! imagine that! and that occured when the aircraft climbed to about 7,000 feet (2,334 meters) soon after it took off in the morning. fortunately, no one was hurt and the plane landed safely on ground. best part was the entire terengganu football team were among the passangers on board this flight. apparently one of the passengers had a fright of their life when they heard an explosion when airborne, and saw that one of the plane propellers catching fire!

another mishap is from yet again, malaysia airlines mh066 bound for seoul which happened on 24th march. the plane had to make an emergency landing in hong kong, after a generator supplying normal electrical power to the aircraft failed. luckily, the plane's auxiliary power unit was able to supply the aircraft. it was an airbus a330-300. dont worry, all 271 passengers on board were fine. 

this last incident happened on 29th march when a cathay pacific plane, boeing 777 from jfk to hong kong had to divert its flight path from hong kong to zhuhai, china. this wasnt because of any malfunction to the aircraft but due to severe weather (lighting and hail storm). not only the plane was diverted to zhuhai, all the passengers on board werent allowed to disembark. from a 16 hour flight, turned into a 34 hour ordeal. all crew on board were required to rest by law. so then cx had to call in replacement crew from hong kong to zhuhai and they too ran into some obstacles whilst making their way there. my goodness. never ends does it?? 

well if you guys want to read more just google it. its all there. im just giving you the gist of it. i really dont know what is going on in this world of ours. cranky? god knows. so my dear friends, if you have to travel, i wish you the best and safe journey to wherever you are heading to. dont forget to tell your loved ones goodbye and that you love them, coz honestly, you just dont know when your time is up. hmm...its a bit like final destination, the movie dont you think so?  hahaha... and please remember,there's only 2 things in this world that we cant avoid, ever, and thats taxes and death! 

god bless and stay safe!
