By Sureshni Pilapitiya

The latest plane tragedies have shocked the world. Upto now, four plane tragedies have been heard of so far, and searches are still going on to find out the exact reason for these untold tragedies.. Looks like the officials won't give up till the mysteries are solved. The concern is what will be the solutions? when will they find the solutions? Is it safe to travel by air?

What will happen next?

Air travel seems to be a real danger these days , in the light of what is happening around the world where aviation disasters are concerned. Now it seems to be a matter of life and death and it will not be a surprise if people avoid plane rides and seek other modes of transport very soon.

Aviation experts

Aviation experts and officials have tried their best to and are still trying to find out what is exactly happening by holding discussions and giving different views and opinions regarding the recent disasters. But so far, none of these tragedies have been solved . This matter has already turned into public and state interest, all over the world .

With the Malaysian Air lines flight 370 disaster with 239 passengers on board , interest reached a peak . Up to date no one has given a clear explanation of what happened to the plane , though there are different views and reasons . The Black Box has not been found yet , even though four months have lapsed since it's disappearance.

Commotion

As a result there was a lot of commotion where relatives of the deceased caused havoc saying that the Malaysian Government was not telling them the truth. The disaster even led to political disputes. All nations joined together in the search of the missing plane but in vain .

During the early phase of the search for flight 370, aircraft's and ships scoured vast stretches of the surface of the Southern Indian Ocean but found no debris. According to the Australian authorities , flight 370 probably flew into the Southern Indian Ocean on autopilot with an unresponsive crew. If they were able to find the The black box of the plane, in which all the content and evidence is stored , there would have been a clear idea of what happened to the Aircraft.

According to the latest statistics 700 people are dead or missing this year in plane tragedies . There lies a question here. What actually happens to these planes ? Are they being targeted by terrorists, or do they just disappear due to some unexplainable reason ? people might have different opinions about it and they may even say that it is something similar to what happens in the Bermuda Triangle .

Disappearances

The disappearances which took place in the Bermuda Triangle remained an unsolved mystery till clear evidence was found scientifically.

A Malaysian air crash investigator inspects the crash site of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17, near the village of Hrabove (Grabovo), Donetsk region July 22, 2014.

Earlier people were of the view that disappearances took place due to paranormal activity or due to some unseen power. The fate of the Malaysian Airlines did not stop with the disappearance of the flight 370.Soon after, another Malaysian Airlines plane had a narrow escape , but landed safely .

Malaysian Airlines seem to be going through a very bad period , for they have lost several of their aircraft's and lost many lives as well. The latest tragedy occurred when Malaysian Airlines flight 17 was shot down by terrorists , with 280 passengers on board , including three infants . It was flying from Amsterdam to Kualalampur . The unfortunate Boeing 777 airline had 154 Dutch passengers , 27 Australians , 23 Malaysians , 11 Indonesians , 6 British citizens , 4 from Germany , another 4 from Belgium , 3 from the Philippines and 1 Canadian .

According to officials, the charred wreckage stretched for kilometres. According to his official website , Ukrainian president Petro Poroshenko has said that they confirm ‘’ Ukraine Armed Forces did not fire at any targets in the sky ‘'. Tensions have been heating up between Russia and Ukraine , since Russia captured Ukraine's South Eastern Crimea region , and street protests forced former pro- Moscow president Viktor Yanukovych from power in February. President Vladimir Putin expressed his condolences to those who were affected by the tragedy. The Dutch Government paid tribute to it's deceased citizens by organizing a state funeral ceremony followed with a large funeral procession , among thousands of mourners gathering to pay their last respects .

Black Box

According to the latest sources , American president Barack Obama has directed officials to keep in touch with the Ukrainian authorities .

However , French transportation official Frederic Cuvillier ordered that French Airlines to avoid Ukrainian Airspace until the case of Malaysia Airlines is known . Officials are searching high and low for the plane's black box , which was hit in the Ukraine, which is essential evidence to find out about the disaster.

No sooner this tragedy took place , another air scare has shocked the world. That is , the Air Algerie flight AH 5017 which was flying over Africa disappeared off the radar. It is said that former Cuban president Fidel Castro's niece too, was among the passengers .There were no survivors , the crashed killed 118 people , including one British national and 54 French nationals .

The Air Algerie flight came down in Southern Mali , in the African Border. And also a Trans Asia flight GE222 , had crashed in Taiwan killing 48 passengers, with 10 survivors.

Officials said that it was due to bad weather which was stormy and on the trailing edge of the typhoon Matmo. These are the latest plane tragedies which have shocked the world.

Therefore, up to now , four plane tragedies have been heard of so far , and searches are still going on to find out the exact reason for these untold tragedies..

Looks like the officials won't give up till the mysteries are solved . The concern is what will be the solutions ? when will they find the solutions ? Is it safe to travel by air ? what will happen next ? hopefully , one may not expect another tragedy to occur , but if necessary action is not taken , we cannot help expecting another Air disaster. One plane tragedy after another is really disturbing , the general public will consider twice before travelling on air. Obviously , if the situation worsens , Airlines over the world will have to face another problem , that is , being unable to gain profit by less flights and less passengers willing to travel by air. Therefore, it will be Economically unstable as well.

In this matter, even Aviation authorities, governments and high officials seem to be helpless . Because there's no way of preventing from these incidents happening.

But the recent incidents which happened has certainly stunned the world and have left a point to ponder and think twice about air travel.

At the same time, it's surprising how air travel has turned out to be a curse and also an unsolved mystery.
