disaster// It was March 8, 2014, a Saturday, when a Malaysia Airlines flight 370 went missing, leaving the entire world in shock. The flight took off from Kuala Lumpur International Airport for Beijing Capital International Airport, People’s Republic of China. The aircraft sent its last message to Air Craft Control almost an hour after its take-off on March 7, 2014. The next day, Malaysia Airlines declared the flight missing. It was carrying 239 people, including 12 crew members. Several search operations have been conducted on a multinational level to locate the flight but there’s no clue about it so far.

One would have called it the deadliest event in the history of aviation if another Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777, Flight 17 hadn’t been shot down over Ukraine on July 17, 2014, which killed all the 298 people aboard. The intelligence agencies call it an attack by pro-Russian separatists. On the other hand, Russia shifted the blame to Ukraine for the tragic incident.
