what the hell is going on with malaysian civil aviation ?!?!?!

hope they find some survivors :(
 
Sad tragedy for us, just not long after my mom and brother went to Saudi using Garuda we heard this news. There is massive cloud in Jakarta Today.

The passenger seems to go to Singapore for long Holidays ( until 1 Jan).

I hope our Navy and Air Force can find the plane and passenger as soon as possible. They have sufficient asset for MPA role and ships.
