Since this blog is about travel, and mostly done by
airplane, let me first pray for those 239 souls on board MH370 that went
missing on March 7 2014.
Conspiracy theories abound when a flight goes missing with
not a trace. From hijacking to
catastrophic explosions, to pilot error even alien abduction, the jittery
feeling when today thousands of people board their flight, however long or
short, must give enough angst on an already set of jumpy nerves.
The predominant thought of countless sorrow of extended
families members of each passenger is incalculable. Even as a spectator, reading the latest
updates, leaves the pain of sorrow that reverberates and plays on the
mind. Exhausting theories gone through
and causes get untangled like a fine tooth-comb.
There is the thought that each 239 passengers, mostly
strangers to each other, come simultaneously to the same fate together. How cosmically do we explain this phenomenon. For instance the Indian politician was killed
in the 1973 air disaster, his grandson seemingly called to the same fate on the
missing Malaysian 777. Is there a
connection? Is there more to than meets
the eye? Or this is a random act that
may have a reason.
The passengers were mainly Chinese, at least 30 employees were from a US microchip company. Perhaps a theory
that someone not wanting the Chinese to have 20 Freescale Semiconductor experts,
a US company producing embedded
microchips that cloak the high-tech electronic warfare weaponry. The Malaysian
Prime Minister has now come out to say the action on board the plane was
deliberate by someone well versed in flying.
It doesn’t take much reasoning for the possibility of hijacking for this
type of technological expertise, which is in existence.
The fact that the
employees were on board has sparked one of the many conspiracy theories
associated with the plane vanishing, that there was electronic weaponry on
board. Whoever deliberately maneuvered
the plane had intimate knowledge of military radar, corridor coverage,
satellite pass and all military and civilian airspace.
The East Turkestan Islamic Movement
(ETIM), also known as the Turkestan Islamic Party, released a video
of one of its clerics threatening attacks on Chinese Buddhists. The group
is linked to Al-Qaeda and wants China’s largely-Muslim Xinjiang Province
to gain independence. The Turkic population there is called Uighurs.
An Uighurian
passenger on board MH370, Mr Maimaitijiang Abula, now being
scrutinized for his background. He is from Kashgar in Xinjiang Province, a town near the borders of
Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan. An online resume states he was an assistant
professor at a university in Turkey. From 2004-2005, he was a researcher for a
training and simulation center in Sweden. One report says he received flight
simulation training there. According to
his CV online, a Ph.d holder he “designed an
integrated future soldier training system based on sensors, communication
subsystems and integrated-helmet subsystems and performed simulations for real-time.”
Two flight corridors are now being looked into. Northbound all the way to the Caspian sea or
southbound, from Indonesia to the West of Perth, Australia. The theory of Aliens abducting the whole
aircraft maybe a little way off but at this point anything is possible.
It leaves the authorities now to check into every facet and
detail of those 239 souls on board to come up with any answers.
This is when we bow our heads to what is greater than
mankind and ask for help. My heart goes to all the immediate and extended families of the missing MH370
