The crash of "China Eastern Airlines MU5735" some time ago can be said to have touched the hearts of thousands of people.
With the discovery of the black box of the aircraft, it is believed that relevant data will be extracted in the near future.
In order to successfully uncover the cause of the plane crash, it is also the best explanation for the families of the crashed passengers and the public.
In China, not only the relatives of the passengers involved in the China Eastern Airlines crash are anxiously waiting, but also the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane that crashed many years ago.
Eight years ago, the crash of the "MH370" passenger plane also shocked the world, but compared to other crashed passenger aircraft.
The "MH370" of this accident has never been found, and this injury is beyond doubt for the passengers' families.
Although afterwards, Malaysia Airlines offered compensation.
But there are still many people who have not accepted this large "compensation".
Now, 8 years later, how are these people doing?
Disappearing flight
And when telling the story of the actual family, let's first review the crash that occurred 8 years ago.
At 41:41 a.m. on March 8, 2014, Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 flew from Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Malaysia to Beijing.
It was originally an intra-Asian flight, which was not long, and was scheduled to arrive in Beijing at 6:30 a.m.
Just such an ordinary flight, but I didn't expect it to be a "starting point" without an end.
The plane took off smoothly from Kuala Lumpur International Airport with a good morning.
But what I didn't expect was around 1:20 shortly after the flight.
The plane lost contact with Ho Chi Minh's controlled area at the junction between Malaysia and Vietnam and disappeared from radar.
But strangely, after the plane disappeared, Malaysia did not immediately issue a statement, until 2:40, when the Malaysian Subang Air Traffic Control Center confirmed that the plane could not be contacted.
Although aware that there may be a major problem with the plane, people still have a sense of luck at this time.
After all, the ground did not receive news of the crash of the aircraft in question.
The MH370 is a Boeing 777 aircraft carrying plenty of fuel.
The plane can take up to two hours longer than the normal flight time.
But until 8:30 a.m., the plane still did not appear on the ground in Beijing.
This means that the plane has run out of fuel.
After the incident, the Malay side immediately sent out help to the outside world, and as many as 7 countries participated in the emergency search and rescue.
The mainland also dispatched search and rescue ships near Xisha and Haikou to participate in the search and rescue at the first time.
But Malaysia Airlines seems to have evaporated from the world, no matter how advanced satellite technology and detection instruments are used.
No trace of the plane was found.
Although the search and rescue related parties have spent great human and material resources.
But in the end, it had to be announced that all passengers on the plane had been killed.
And for this information, I am afraid that the most sad are the relatives of the crashed passengers.
Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 was carrying 227 passengers, 152 of whom were from Chinese mainland.
Excluding the 12 staff members on the unit, it can account for almost 3/4.
Some of these people have come to Malaysia to work, some have visited relatives in the local area, and some have traveled to the local area, but without exception, they have not been able to go back.
One passenger represents a family, and think of the 227 passengers on the entire plane.
How many families behind them should be torn apart and plunged into endless misery.
Although afterwards in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Montreal International Convention.
Every passenger who wrecks is compensated.
Some families did not accept it.
And I have been looking forward to the moment when my family will return.
Relatives who can't let go
Wen Yongsheng, one of the passengers who boarded the flight, was from Shandong, China, the day he returned to China from a business trip.
Parents in Shandong have learned the news in advance.
But strangely, he usually reported that he was safe as soon as he got off the plane, but he did not call after this scheduled time.
The second elder, who had not received the call until noon, felt a little uneasy, so they tried to call their son.
But the other side has not been connected.
After several days without news of their son, the old couple could not sit still, they found Wen Yongsheng's friend, trying to find news of their son, but the friend did not know.
It wasn't until a few days later that the local government approached the door with a list of missing persons.
They were told that their son's plane had crashed, and passenger information revealed that Mr. Wen boarded the flight.
When this news came, for the old couple who were already older, the blow was self-evident.
They can't believe that such a small probability of an event happened to their loved ones.
After the accident, they tried to find out how their son was on the flight, but they found nothing.
It is not even known where the plane went. They found all the departments they could go to.
The answer was "the search for the aircraft was inconclusive".
A month later, Malaysia Airlines' lawyer who handled the compensation matters approached them.
And give them the compensation agreement that has been drawn up, claiming that it will only be necessary to sign it.
You can get millions of compensation, and your future life will be settled.
But in the face of this expensive compensation cost, the old couple did not even look at it.
What they want is for their son to come back, and if not, they want to know what the truth really is.
And they believe that once the compensation is accepted, it is likely that the relevant parties will not even look for it.
This speculation is not unreasonable.
Despite all kinds of doubts, the families of the crashed passengers also gathered to put pressure on the relevant parties.
However, on July 30, 2018, Malaysia Airlines announced the termination of the search and rescue work on MH370.
But Wen Yongsheng's family still did not give up.
Until now, his father still habitually tops up his previous mobile phone number with a little money every month.
He told reporters, "I am afraid that one day if my child's mobile phone has a battery, he can contact me."
And we didn't charge him, so we missed it. ”
And he firmly believes that hope will come.
And like Wen Yongsheng's father, there are many others waiting for his son to return, and Li Eryou from Handan, Hebei Province is one of them.
He was originally just an ordinary farmer who had never been out of Handan in his life.
But since his son's accident, he has traveled to Beijing every month to inquire about the latest progress of Malaysia Airlines.
After 8 years, the cost of the road alone is almost 20,000. They are not rich people.
But as long as you can find out the whereabouts of your son, even if you go abroad at your own expense, it is not a word, no matter how expensive the plane ticket is, it is not a problem.
As for the million compensation from Malaysia Airlines, they also chose to refuse, the same reason, "If you take this money, maybe my son really can't get it back." ”
And the lives that have also changed because of the departure of relatives are not only some elderly people, but also many children.
Xu Jinghong is one of them.
She was originally a rather temperamental Kochi woman since her mother disappeared with Malaysia Airlines 370.
She began to develop a bad habit of smoking.
In addition to contracting bad habits, her personality also began to become sensitive and irritable.
Colleagues around her said that she used to be a calm person, but now she has lost patience with her children and yells at every turn.
She could not accept how a good person could just disappear.
And the pain of losing his mother also made Zai who had been immersed in it unable to come out.
In order to be able to counteract the pain in her heart, she will even use physical pain to counteract.
Xu Jinghong found an embroiderer and embroidered a model of Malaysia Airlines MH370 on her most sensitive forearm.
And the nose was aiming at her heart.
And her father also died a few years later because of her mother's death.
For this reason, she always blamed herself for not taking good care of her father, but those who knew her knew that she could not even take care of herself.
And how could she take good care of her father.
And among these bereaved people, even some mothers did not wait for news of their children until they died.
An eldest sister from northeast China worked hard to raise her son alone, and when he grew up, his son was also very productive and worked in Singapore.
Unfortunately, on the day he returned home, he chose this flight.
After her son's accident, she also felt that the sky was falling.
In order to be able to know the latest news of Malaysia Airlines in the first place, the eldest sister simply rented a house in Beijing.
She also traveled to various departments to ask for explanations for two years.
Unfortunately, she was later diagnosed with cancer.
But even at such a desperate need for money, she did not accept compensation from Malaysia Airlines.
She chose to sell the house when she had no money to see a doctor, but unfortunately, the house had not yet been sold, and she was gone.
And without waiting for the final news, there is also mother Li Xiuzhi.
Her daughter is an excellent senior translator who was going to get married after returning to China this time.
But unfortunately, she has not yet entered a happy married life, and her life has suddenly stopped.
In 2018, when Malaysia Airlines announced that it would stop the investigation, Li Xiuzhi fainted on the spot.
She still holds the note "Mom will always wait for you, never give up".
Soon after, she also died and went to the ground to reunite with her daughter.
Similarly, Jiang Hui lost his mother and changed the trajectory of his life.
Jiang Hui used to be an excellent workplace manager, in the eyes of others, he is capable and enterprising, always buried in work, and the income is also high, many people envy his mother to have such a capable son.
Her mother likes to travel, and originally, Jiang Hui had already found time to accompany her mother on a trip.
But unexpectedly, the company came with a new project, and there was no way, so he had to send his mother on the plane alone.
And this time it was the last time the mother and son met.
When the news of the plane crash in which his mother was riding came, Jiang Hui immediately took a long vacation and embarked on a journey to find his mother.
But because he was away from the company for a long time, the unit eventually fired him.
At this moment, it was also easy for Jiang Hui. In the past, he has been busy.
He didn't even have the opportunity to accompany his mother on a trip, and now that he finally has time, he has lost his mother alone, which cannot but be said to be a major regret.
In the process of searching for his mother, Jiang Hui looked up information on the Internet and looked for relevant books.
He trained himself from a novice to a half-aviation expert.
He also took the lead in establishing the Malaysia Airlines Victims' Family Group, and as a representative, he repeatedly raised professional questions at the press conference to question relevant parties.
And with the unknown news coming again and again, the mood of Jiang Hui's family members is also like a roller coaster, rising again and again, falling again and again.
But in the end, it sank like a stone in the vast sea, and there was no news.
The ultimate answer
Eight years later, Malaysia Airlines still touches thousands of people around the world who cherish their lives, and for these families, it is a lingering shadow for a lifetime.
And evidence that has emerged over the years suggests that Malaysia Airlines has indeed crashed.
Presumably people don't have too many questions about this result. After all, people who are immersed in fantasy have long recognized the reality of the plane crash.
But the main questions of these families focus on the time of the plane crash, and the performance of the parties concerned is questionable.
For example, the plane disappeared from the radar at 1:21 a.m., why until 2:40.
It was only announced that the plane had lost contact, and what happened in the intervening hour?
Secondly, the Malaysian Civil Aviation Authority revealed on the 9th.
Radar records show that the missing Malaysia Airlines MH370 may have made a switchback in the middle of the flight, and the fact that the plane turned back in the middle of the flight is itself questionable.
However, although the relevant parties disclosed the news, they did not wait for the response of the investigation team.
On the 11th, more Malaysian media quoted Daoud as saying.
Malaysian Air Force radars had detected flight MH370 flying over the Strait of Malacca, but then disappeared near Perak Island at 2:40.
Malacca is up to 500 kilometers away from the key search and rescue area at the time of the incident, and if this is indeed the case, it is not surprising that the wreckage of the plane will not be found.
The Wall Street Journal reported that after the plane disappeared from the radar, it even continued to fly for four hours, and the reason given was that the plane flew a total of five hours based on data automatically downloaded from the engine of the Boeing 777 aircraft and sent to the ground.
Although afterwards, the Malaysian side replied that the report was untrue.
However, the first report released by the relevant parties until 7:24 a.m. still made many family members feel that there was any suspicion that the relevant parties deliberately delayed the report.
The families have not received a reliable response to all these questions, and this is the biggest aspect of their dissatisfaction.
The final outcome cannot be changed, but these relatives have the right to know the ultimate truth, and this is the best explanation given to them.
epilogue
Life is impermanent, and everyone has to experience something to live in this world.
But no matter what, we have to learn to live strongly.
Perhaps, those of us who have passed away in heaven will also hope that the living can live well.
Cherish other relatives around you, integrate into the new life, and strive to eat every meal, perhaps, this is the meaning of life.
