No, this is not the start of a column about religion. It is more about the incredible happenings in the world today, although some people may identify religious aspects to it.
Hopefully by the time you read this article, they will have found that missing plane from Malaysia. If the mystery is still continuing then you have to wonder what is really going on? This is not a reality show or a science fiction movie. It’s real life drama. Maybe the biggest aviation mystery in history.
First of all our deepest sympathy to the families and all those involved with the missing flight. They want answers as to what happened to their loved ones. Now it seems every passenger and member of the flight crew are both victims and suspects.
In this world of high technology and instant messaging, it is really a challenge to believe no one knows what is going on – and what authorities are not telling us. So much is a stake.
The entire airline industry and world tourism is cringing at this escalating problem. The fear of flying is real for many people and with no apparent weather conditions as the cause of the missing plane – what did happen?
In this age of 24-hour media the constant banter continues – and the so-called experts are running out of creative answers. And of course it is all speculation on their part.
It is amazing in this egocentric world that some people can continue to go on international television and the internet and claim to have the answer. You might as well believe the alien theory.
Now entrepreneurs and stock market manipulators are trying to cash in on the tragedy as they claim to have some high tech solutions to missing planes – and worse their stocks keep rising.
It is all both fascinating and troubling at the same time. How they find the plane will be an amazing feat as all current methods have failed thus far. If they do not find anything, then maybe the Bermuda Triangle does really exist even in southeast Asia.
Meanwhile while the missing plane mystery captures the imagination of the world, Russia is still poised to takeover parts of the Ukraine. Just days after celebrating the success of the Winter Olympics, the aggressive military action began. Now world leaders are hesitant to take strong action against Russia. What will this lead to? Remember the Russians were in Afghanistan before the Taliban took over. Who knows what will be the next action the Russians take, but it is all troubling.
On a lighter note, spring is finally here and hopefully more sunshine and brighter days. This means the start of baseball season and hopefully your favorite teams have great seasons.
