In just 4 months into the year 2014 a lot of people have died in the least way that we expect; airplane disappearance and a ferry sinking. Those things do not happen often, but yet when they happen it become worldwide news. It was not long ago that a ferry sank in South Korea and led to 58 deaths and counting, with just 179 survivors out of 476 passengers. What led to the sinking was because the ferry took a sharp turn, but it is all due to the lack of direction and indecisions on both ends. How can people, businesspeople or even governments let this to happen? How are they willing to risk the lives of hundreds of people, even kids? They had 325 high school students in that ferry.
Long before the ferry sank the Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 disappeared. It has been 44 days since it took off the Malayisian airport. As of 4/20/2014 there have been 8 missions to search for the missing plane. One can wonder, how much money has been spent to try to find it? Millions!! One can know for sure that it has not been held on a ransom otherwise people would be asking for money by now. Yet again, how much were the pilots trained? Did they have enough security within the plane to make sure that it would be safe whenever would threat the lives of the passengers? The great deal of injustice that one can see here is that how can the Malaysian government lose track of its own plane? How can lose the communications with a plane carrying hundreds of passengers? It is painful to learn that people never got a chance to say a proper goodbye to their loved ones, even worse never got a chance to bury them according their traditions and culture.
