MH370 - What the Fuck Happened?

And what the fuck is going on?

Illustration purposes only.


Let's recap.


  • Plane went missing.
  • Plane is said to have lost it's signal in the Vietnam Gulf.
  • Intense SAR was initiated. Malaysians bore witness the unity of all the 14 countries that is helping Malaysia to locate the missing plane. As a Malaysian, you have my vast gratitude.
  • The ministry and military and marines release contradictory statements one after the other. People are reasonably angered.
  • Malaysia attempts to give monetary compensation to the affected families in Beijing.
  • The Chinese government expressed great anger over Malaysian government's incompetence to handle this professionally.
  • The parties involved suddenly revoked all issued statements and began searching for the missing plane in the Malacca Straits, where the plane is said to have made a U-turn. 
  • The Vietnamese troop froze the search for the plane temporarily because the Malaysian government is exhausting their resources and frankly, they're exasperated by continuous misinformation from the Malaysian troop. 
  • Search continues but no one knows where now - it can be assumed it is being done at both the Vietnamese gulf and Malacca Straits. 
  • A self-proclaimed 'world-class' Bomoh (read that as Charlatan) is making a fool of himself at the KLIA airport, performing some epic WTF rituals involving a magic carpet, umbrella, basket and 2 coconuts. The world is laughing.
  • At this point, more clusterfuck is to be expected.
Side note:

1. The pilot is revealed to have broken various ethical codes when it comes to flight regulations.

2. Safety check was not done on the plane prior to take off.

3. Two Iranian passengers were said to have boarded the plane via stolen passports, acting as some Australian pax. This was highlighted for a while, not it has completely died down.

4. It's last known recorded transmission of the flight heard the pilot said "Goodnight". It is assumed that at this point the plane was still fine and someone deliberately turned off the transmission.

Review ~ The Girl in the Ice by Robert Bryndza

  I'd give this 3.5 stars. It's his first book so there's that.  The plot ran smoothly with realistic dynamics between character...
