Hanna beech, from The New York Times, wrote an article about the incident that happened in Indonesia. “One of the deadliest commercial air disasters in years” as the officials recalled, “The plane has experienced an unspecified technical issue the night before”, as they knew that the plane had problems they didn’t do anything to actually fix it. When the plane went down in the waters of Java Sea, strong currents hampered the search; so it made it very difficult to actually look for the plane.
The brand-new airplane had 189 people on board and right after takeoff, the crew had requested permission to return to the airport but it crashed. On a previous takeoff “the plane had experienced problems with unreliable airspeed reading”, meaning that it had to do something with the air tubes. According to the article, the air tubes can go wrong if something is blocking the tubes, in hot-equatorial climates, the wasps go inside the tubes and make mud nests. Having a nest in the tube, it blocks the air from passing through. Before the airplane leaves there has to be a procedure that they have to follow to make sure everything goes right. Pilots says, “basic skills like flying a plane without the aid of technology has become a less common art”, making it hard to actually function. This really hasn’t been the first time an accident like this has happened. The fact that the plane crashed and they haven’t recovered anything is really surprising because we have this modern technology and is really that smart on it, but it is understandable that the currents made the search very difficult. Right after it took off it killed all 189 on in pact. I personally have never been on an airplane but I have heard a lot of stories that have happened. A story, attack, that has happened and it was very devastating was the 9/11 attack on the twin towers; This was a terrorist attack and it was a very tragic thing that happened. Another horrible plane accident was in 2012 when Jenni Rivera was killed in a plane crashed, Jenni was one of my mom’s favorite singers and it devastated her, imagine how all the family members of all the 189 people on the plane must be feeling right now. When they find the plane I hope they can close the case and all the people may rest in peace and next time they should actually see what they are doing wrong before the leave the airport.
