Beijing at 7:17 on December 28, Airbus A320-200 aircraft
from Surabaya to Singapore lost contact with the control tower in the route. After 3 days, Indonesian government found the
plane’s wreckage; meanwhile, Singapore, Malaysia and Australia also dispatched
ships and planes to aid in the effort. They
found more than 40 dead bodies.
This has been a difficult year for aviation in Asia. The
plane in question is the third disaster about the Malaysian’s air company. The
first is the flight MH370 which lost contact in the route from Kuala Lumpur to
Beijing. This is a mystery because the
plane has not been found. Second was shot down over Ukraine. It lost a lot of
