It’s not
often that the world is completely baffled by a current-day mystery. Nearly
two weeks ago, Malaysia Airlines flight 370 disappeared somewhere over
Southeast Asia, leaving the families and friends of all 369 passengers on board
in an emotional purgatory. There has been a constant influx of theories as to
what happened, from the obvious plane malfunction to terrorism. Despite
the lack of evidence, the media has been desperately forming theories and
anybody involved has been the subject of front page news. Centel Media™, a top
online reputation company, offers services that would help those affected by
the situation to maintain their image. It would be beneficial for anybody
involved to use the Press Release service,
as the families of anybody on the plane would be able to control the
information the media receives as this mystery unravels.
Two of
the passengers aboard the plane had been using stolen passports, supporting the
theory of a possible hijacking or some type of foul play. No distress
signal was sent from the plane; perhaps they didn’t have a chance to send one.
Whatever happened, it happened quickly.
The two
pilots of the plane have also been investigated, as one or both of them could
have been involved. The Captain, fifty-year old Zaharie Ahmad Shah, has
flown over 18,000 flight hours and is also a flight instructor. The younger
pilot, 1st officer Fariq Ab Hamid, had over 2,000 flight hours experience and
had just begun flying with a Boeing 777. Whoever diverted the plane was
somebody with extensive plane experience. In addition to the pilots, one
passenger was found to be a civil aviation engineer. Again, there is no solid
evidence to prove any of these people are involved.
According
to new evidence the plane could have flown for up to five hours after
disappearing off radar, and even possibly (but extremely unlikely) have landed
on a remote island. The plane, a Boeing 777, kept pinging satellites
after communication lines were cut, so the possibility that it kept flying is
one of the more substantiated claims. Hopefully, these pings and other
clues will enable the plane to be tracked down.
The
details are sketchy and all theories have fairly circumstantial evidence to
back them up. Thus the media’s attention on anything that may prove
informative and in the process they may have hurt many people. Centel Media™ Press Releases can be
used to give information to the public while still protecting the integrity of
the families and friends of those who have been targeted by the media’s
investigation. In the end, hopefully the plane will be found and the mystery
solved so all can begin the healing process.
