On Monday 24, Malaysian Prime Minister, Najib Razak, declared ‘all lives to be lost’ from Airline Flight 370. Flight 370 departed from Kuala Lumpur to get to Beijing. Over 230 passengers and crew members boarded the flight. It wasn’t until recently however, that researchers have suspected the missing flight to have actually crashed in the Indian Ocean.
Besides from several reports of possible debris of the airplane, found near the Australian coast, researchers haven’t been able to actually prove on where and why the plane crashed.
Naturally, friends and relatives of the lost passengers were devastated when they heard the news. Most of them sobbed in disbelief, blaming the Malaysian government, claiming that they’re “covering up something.”
When tragedies happen, conspiracies are made. We’ve seen this before with 911, the Kennedy Assassination, and even the Holocaust. It seems to me that people, understandably, can’t take bad news. They’re unable to accept that bad things happen, and that bad things happen by accident. By making stuff up, like a coverup theory involving their infamous government, they feel more secure and knowledgeable. But really they don’t know for sure.
There have been many conspiracies on the missing Malaysian flight. One included alien involvement, while another claimed the passengers to still be alive.
CNN, which has been on this story like butter on toast, is at the point now where they’re just scaring people because they have nothing else to talk about. They have been filling up most of their airtime with pointless discussions of black holes and the bermuda triangle, along with overly descriptive details of what the plane looks like. I find this ironic considering the fact that the majority of CNN viewers are watching their network from an actual airport.
The world may never know the true story on what happened to Flight 370, and to me, that’s okay. However, out of respect for the fallen passengers and their loved ones, I believe we should keep searching.
Still, there is no point in discussing anything else about the flight, until we know the truth. There is a difference between creating news and actual news. Making up stories only takes us farther away from the truth. I would expect this type of behavior from Fox news, but CNN? Come on, you should know better than that!
