MH370

For people who are least interested in things other than their computer games,
For people who don't get time to know what is happening around because they are so damn busy with girlfriends,
For girls who are so busy applying makeup that there is very less time for anything else,
For students who were so busy studying for their board exams that they didn't have time to have a look at what is going on around,

MH370 is a Boeing 777-200ER, owned by Malaysian Airlines. This plane was enroute from kuala Lumpur to Beijing when it went missing. It lost all contacts less than a  hour after takeoff from Malaysia. It was carrying 239 people in total which included 227 passengers, out of which 152 were Chinese, and 12 crew members.

The last words by the Co-Pilot were, 
"All right, Good Night"

The countries included, India, Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, France, Indonesia, Japan, Myanmar, New Zealand, Norway, Philippines, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, United Arab Emirates, United States and Vietnam.

Later, rumors spread that the plane may be hijacked by Taliban. The news of 2 people onboard travelling with fake passports added to the rumors and the news went viral. Knowing which, The Talibanis sent a video informing that they did not hijack the plane and also said that they would have been pleased if they had done that. 

After so many days of unsuccessful search, Malaysian Pm finally announced: 


"It is therefore with deep sadness and regret that I must inform you that, according to this new data, Flight MH370 ended in the southern Indian Ocean."

He made this announcement after Australian Navy were close to finding debris in the Southern Indian Ocean. The objects, described as a "Grey or Green circular object" and a "Orange rectangular object" were found floating in the sea with many small objects spread over several kilometers.
