Disappearance of MH370

　　On March 8th, the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 (MH370) made global headlines. I knew the news in the early morning of that day from the breaking news of CNN. I was eating something at that time, and my hands and mouth had stopped listening to the news.
　　I was surprised from two points. One is the aircraft material itself which had disappeared. It was a Boeing 777-200, which I often get on from my hometown to Tokyo. This type of aircraft had rarely had mechanical problems and has carried credibility from its initial installation. Additionally, it was not from a third-world nation. It must have been well maintained with suitable and genuine parts. Another point was the time when the plane disappeared. It was during the cruising, which is said to be the most stable and secure time out of the whole flight time.
　　The announcement of CNN is always earlier than Japan's domestic media and the website of the CNN has been shown on my PC screen both in my house and my office since the occurrence.
　　This morning, its breaking news says, "All lives lost". It would be the knife-stabbing like comment for the bereaved. The spokesperson said that the possible area of the crash is the South Indian Ocean and it's fairly deep and it's difficult to determine the cause of the crash. It's a really regrettable result.
