Because I have to travel very often, one thing that is increasingly becoming a concern now a days is the means used to travel. Then be it a car, or a plane, nothing seems safe enough and with a drastic increase in the incidents that occur every now and then, i usually end up thinking if i really want to travel or not.
Recently, I was going through the headlines and I read about the plane crash that took place on the Indonesian coast, killing around 189 passengers. For someone to go through these kind of news frequently might not be that disturbing because eventually we get so used to a certain news if its displayed over and over again but after losing some of the closest people in my life in a tragic plane crash, every time I hear the word Plane crash, my heart sinks because I can understand what people go through when they lose their loved ones in a plane crash. Plane crash is probably one of the most unexpected ways to lose a life, and how excitement of travelling can change into misery of death in a matter of a few minutes moves me to my core.

It is super heartbreaking to learn that none of the passengers on the plane survived. I agree that it’s scary traveling on a plane because you never know if something will go wrong. The worst part is that this is not the first time that’s happened with planes crashing or going missing. For example, the Malaysian Airlines Flight 370 disappeared on March 8, 2014 and till this day, it is still a mystery and experts are still trying to figure out what went wrong. The plane carried 239 passengers. Indeed, the excitement of traveling can instantly turn into suffering.
